Top Ways to Save Some Money During the Colder Months
In Canada, we spend most of the year using our heaters. You'd think that we know everything there is to know about our heating systems. You'll be surprised how many homeowners do not know that their heating system at home is not efficient as they think.
How efficient is your heating system? Whether or not you know the answer, the following tips can help your entire home run more efficiently.
Add Insulation
It's very easy for heat to transfer from the warmer areas of your house to the cooler parts. That means heat can move out of your house through the walls. This is going to be more difficult when you have really good insulation to slow the transfer of heat. Adding insulation to your walls, attic, and crawlspaces can definitely make your home more energy-efficient.
Try Home Automation
This is gaining popularity. You get to control your lights, air conditioner, heater, some appliances, and even your garage door using a simple application on your smartphone. This lets you monitor the way you use energy and make the necessary changes remotely.
Seal All Air Leaks
You may not know it but heat is lost at certain points of your home. These are where air and heat can transfer in and out of the house easily. Seal up all the holes and cracks around your house and you'll definitely make your home more efficient.
Upgrade Your Thermostat
If a complete home automation is a bit out of your budget right now, you can opt to just upgrade the thermostat while still keeping track of the usage remotely. There are WI-FI enabled thermostats that allow you to control the temperature in your home wherever you may be. That means you can make more energy-smart adjustments even when you are at work or on a long vacation!
Turn the Temperature Down
Many homeowners tend to overestimate just how high they need to set their thermostat at home. You might want to try turning yours down, setting the temperature a few degrees lower.
Because you regularly use your heating system, you want to be sure that your home is as efficient as it possibly can. Even by following the tips above can contribute a lot!
If you want to make sure that your heating system is truly efficient, or if you are looking for an upgrade, call Twintech Heating & Cooling and we'll take care of it for you!

TwinTech is an excellent and honest company! I called them for a second opinion after being told by another company that I needed to replace my furnace. Turns out this was not the case at all! I did not need a new furnace. TwinTech did not push to make an unnecessary sale and saved me from a huge expense. Bob and Mitch were extremely professional and above all honest! I definitely recommend TwinTech!

Great experience all around. Bob was sharp and easy to talk to, and Greg handled the installation perfectly. Would hire them again in a heartbeat.
I returned from vacation to find my AC unit on the Fritz. After calling way too many places I connected with TwinTech. Ive used the company in the past for my furnace so I was happy when I recognized Greg at my front door. Hes great and the service is always top notch. Id highly recommend using twintech for honest, superior service in the Durham region. Thanks!
I called Twin Tech when my air conditioning stopped working. Greg came over to diagnose the issue - the same day. He was able to diagnose the issue and resolve it quite quickly. Although it was a quick fix, Greg was very thorough in explaining the issue and provided great advice. Not to mention, I felt very comfortable having Greg in my home - which I consider very important when hiring a service provider. Twin Tech will be my go-to from now on. Thank you!!

Twintech Heating & Cooling installed my furnace in 2022 and in fall of 2023 installed my Panasonic Heat Pump. Greg and Mitch did a great job. Helped me through the rebate process.
