What are the best ways to save on energy costs?

There is no denying that each year, our summers are getting warmer and winters are getting colder. For homeowners, the cost to heat or cool a home can be expensive. At Twintech, we have some helpful tips on how to save money on your next energy bill. 

One of the best ways to save money is by upgrading your old furnace or air conditioning units into more energy-efficient ones. Installing a programmable thermostat will also keep your costs down as you can adjust the temperature according to your schedule and keep your home at a comfortable temperature. You can also place weather stripping around the windows during the colder months so that the warm air stays in your home. 

Regular maintenance of your furnace and air conditioner can help cut the cost of heating and cooling in your home. Your air conditioning maintenance routine can include keeping the condenser coil clean by spraying with a gentle hose spray. Always keep your air filter clean on the furnace too, it’s vital to the operation and efficiency of your AC unit. If you need professional assistance, our technicians can come to your home, inspect your units and provide any maintenance you may need. Adding a ceiling fan to your home will help circulate the air so that your air conditioner does not overexert itself and break down. 

If you want to save money on electric bills, switching from an electric water heater to a gas one is the key. Our technicians can install a new gas heater into your home and put in any necessary gas lines. You may also want to consider insulating the first meter of your hot water pipes and any pipes that run through unheated parts of your home. Additionally, you can install an energy-efficient shower head that will not only save water but also reduce the energy that is used to heat it. 

For more information about our products and services, visit our website or give us a call at 1-844-894-6832. We will answer any questions you may have, call Twintech today! If your units require maintenance, we would be more than happy to set you up with an appointment with one of our service technicians.

by Trevor Owens on Twintech Heating and Cooling

I returned from vacation to find my AC unit on the Fritz. After calling way too many places I connected with TwinTech. I’ve used the company in the past for my furnace so I was happy when I recognized Greg at my front door. He’s great and the service is always top notch. I’d highly recommend using twintech for honest, superior service in the Durham region. Thanks!

by Nicole Alain on Twintech Heating and Cooling

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!!

by Colin Vernon on Twintech Heating and Cooling

They've cleaned my furnace a couple of times and mentioned that the hot water tank standards were going to change soon so I decided to change mine out.

There were a few challenges during the process but the installers handled the problems without missing a stride! I now have really hot water again!

by Heidi B on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Bob and Greg made us feel comfortable withe process through their thorough explanation and knowledge of the right furnace for our needs. The professionalism and courteous friendly attitude towards the customer is what we liked the most as they treated us like family. So happy with our decision and new furnace we will be looking into get our rental water heater replaced and installed by Twintech team.

Customer service and knowledge is priority in this industry, and Twintech has it. I've dealt with their team for maintenance and a furnace replacement. They're accommodating and make great recommendations, and came through at a great price over the big guys in the industry. They'll be my next call when I need service or maintenance.

by Leonard Glass on Twintech Heating and Cooling

I decided that the noises and age of the existing furnace which was old and not very efficient to replace it. Gave Greg a call and Grant and Greg got to work on it. Because of supply issues with the current heating type that would be an easier install Greg convinced me to change the location of the system and it would provide me better service for heat and efficiency. I had skeptical but went ahead anyway putting trust in Greg And Grant. Greg, Grant and Mitch came through and in 2 days had completely relocated my heating and A/C system. I can honestly say Greg was right my old house has been warmer and more evenly heated as it ever was. For anyone reading this rather long winded review can take my word for it, Twin Tech can take care of your needs.
