What's included
Baseboard, convector and radiant floor installation
One trade covers all of it: the heater, the circuit, the thermostat and the panel behind them. From a single replacement baseboard to whole-home electric heating, every job is wired by a licensed master electrician and done to the current code.
Electric baseboards
Installed, moved or replaced, with the circuit and the thermostat sized to the room.
Convectors
Quicker, quieter heat than a baseboard in the same wall space, wired on its own circuit.
Radiant floor heating
Under-floor heating cables and mats beneath tile and other finishes, with a floor sensor and a dedicated thermostat.
Electric and bi-energy furnaces
Central furnace installation and connection, electric or bi-energy, with the controls wired properly.
Forced air systems
Wiring, breakers and controls for forced air electric heating.
Snow-melting cables
Melting cables and their controls for entrances, steps and ramps.
Thermostats
Line-voltage and smart thermostats for baseboards, convectors and radiant floors.
Heating repairs
Dead baseboards, tripping breakers, wiring and grounding faults. Found, explained and fixed.
Panel capacity
Adding heat starts at the electrical panel
In Montreal, heating is the biggest electrical load in the house, and a panel has a fixed capacity. Heating, the stove, the dryer, the water heater and an EV charger all share the same amperage. Before anything is sold, we do the load calculation. If the panel is near its limit, you will know before work starts, not after. And if the fix is a panel upgrade or a larger service entrance, it is priced firm like everything else.
Heating faults declare themselves all at once, on the first cold night. The calm time to replace a dead baseboard, add a convector or wire a radiant floor is before the season turns. That said, we work from +30 °C to -30 °C. And a home with no heat in January is an emergency: the line is answered 24 hours a day, in English and in French.

- A baseboard or convector that stays cold
- A breaker that trips when the heating comes on
- A thermostat that will not hold its temperature
- One room that never warms up

Straight answers
Electric heating questions
Can my panel handle more electric heating?
That is the first thing we check. A load calculation adds up everything your panel feeds, heating included, against its rated capacity. If there is room, we show you the numbers. If there is not, the honest options are a panel upgrade or a larger service entrance, and both are priced firm before you commit to anything.
Baseboards, convectors or a radiant floor: which one?
Baseboards are the simple, proven default. Convectors heat faster and run quieter in the same wall space. A radiant floor takes the most work to install, because the floor covering comes up, and it is the one people stop noticing: the floor is simply never cold. The right choice depends on the room, the panel and the budget. Ask, and we will tell you which one we would put in our own house.
One baseboard went cold. Is that a repair or a replacement?
Either, and testing decides which. Sometimes the element is done and the heater gets replaced. Just as often the fault is upstream: a failed thermostat, a loose connection or a tripped breaker. We diagnose before we replace, so you do not pay for a new baseboard that was never the problem.
Do you install smart thermostats on electric baseboards?
Yes. Baseboards and convectors run on line voltage, so they need thermostats built for line voltage, not the low-voltage models made for central furnaces. We supply and wire the correct type for each heater and for radiant floors.
