Baseboard heater installation

In‑floor radiant heating
Heat pump integration
Thermostat upgrades
Enjoy comfortable, even heat underfoot. We install electric radiant heating systems in bathrooms, kitchens and living areas and ensure safe wiring and thermostat integration.
If you’re upgrading to a heat pump, we ensure your electrical system can support the additional load and integrate backup electric heaters for hybrid systems.
Upgrade to programmable or smart thermostats to automatically lower temperatures when you’re away and raise them before you return, saving approximately 5% for every degree you lower.

Dust and debris can reduce heater efficiency. We clean, inspect and troubleshoot heating circuits to keep them running safely.
