Electrical Heating




Electric installs and upgrades electric heating systems across Terrebonne, Mascouche, Laval, and the Laurentians. From baseboard heater replacements and radiant floor heating to convector upgrades and smart thermostat integration, we ensure every room in your home heats evenly and efficiently. As CMEQ-certified master electricians, we perform proper load calculations before every installation — so your panel can safely handle the heating load without tripped breakers or overloaded circuits.
Reflection Electric installs all types of residential electric heating — 240V baseboard heaters, wall-mounted convectors, in-floor radiant heating cables, and cove heaters. We replace old, inefficient units with modern high-output models, add heating to unheated spaces like basements, garages, and additions, and integrate smart thermostats like Sinopé and Mysa for zone-by-zone control from your phone. Every installation includes proper wire sizing, dedicated circuits where needed, and thermostat placement for accurate temperature readings — not just wiring to the nearest junction box.
Electric heating is the largest electrical load in most Quebec homes — which means getting the wiring right matters more here than anywhere else. Reflection Electric balances heating loads across your panel's circuits, verifies wire gauge matches heater wattage, and ensures your service entrance can handle the total demand. Whether you're replacing a single baseboard or rewiring heating across an entire home, every installation meets Quebec electrical code, passes inspection the first time, and is backed by our workmanship guarantee.
WHY CHOOSE REFLECTION ELECTRIC
Heating Expertise Built for Quebec's Climate
Electric heating installation requires more than connecting wires — it demands proper load calculations, correct equipment sizing, and an understanding of Quebec's unique heating demands. Homes with 100-amp service often need a panel replacement before adding heating circuits. Our electricians bring specialized expertise to every project, ensuring your heating system delivers consistent warmth without wasting energy.
From replacing a single baseboard heater to installing radiant floor heating across multiple rooms with smart thermostat control, we handle projects of every scale. A heating project is also the ideal time for a rewiring of older circuits. Our CMEQ certification and knowledge of Quebec electrical code means your installation is safe, efficient, and built to perform through decades of harsh winters.

Our process
things simple
Heating Assessment & Load Calculation
We assess your heating needs, measure your spaces, evaluate heat loss through walls, windows, and insulation, and calculate the proper heating load. This ensures every heater is correctly sized for maximum comfort and efficiency.
System Design & Product Selection
We design your heating system specifying equipment types, wattage, placement, electrical requirements, and control systems. You'll receive a clear plan and quote before any work begins.
Professional Installation
Our licensed electricians install all heating equipment — running dedicated circuits, mounting heaters, making electrical connections, and installing thermostats. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your household.
Testing & Commissioning
We test all heating zones, verify thermostat control and response, check heat output levels, ensure all safety features function properly, and walk you through the operation of your new system.

Everything You Need to Know
How much does electric heater installation cost in Quebec?
Reflection Electric's heating installations start at $350 CAD and scale based on the number of heaters, type of heating system, and wiring complexity. A single baseboard heater replacement on an existing circuit sits at the lower end, while adding heating to an unfinished basement or installing radiant floor heating across multiple rooms is a larger investment. If your panel needs additional capacity to handle the heating load, Reflection Electric handles that as part of the project. We provide a detailed, itemized quote after assessing your home — no surprise costs.
Should I replace my old baseboard heaters?
If your baseboard heaters are more than 20-25 years old, replacement often makes sense for both comfort and safety. Older units lose efficiency over time, heat unevenly, and may have degraded wiring connections behind the wall. Modern baseboard heaters and convectors produce more consistent heat, respond faster to thermostat changes, and operate more quietly. Reflection Electric also checks the wiring behind old heaters during replacement — corroded connections, undersized wire, and improper splices are common in older Quebec homes and can be fire hazards that go unnoticed for years.
Can I add electric heating to my basement or garage?
Yes. Reflection Electric regularly adds heating to unheated basements, garage conversions, additions, and bonus rooms across Terrebonne, Mascouche, Laval, and the Laurentians. We assess your panel's available capacity, run new dedicated circuits, and install the right type of heater for the space — baseboard heaters for bedrooms and living areas, convectors for high-traffic zones, or radiant floor heating for bathrooms and finished basements. Every installation includes a load calculation to ensure your panel can safely handle the additional demand.
What are smart thermostats and are they worth it for electric heating?
Smart thermostats like Sinopé and Mysa replace your standard line-voltage thermostats and let you control each heater independently from your phone, set schedules, and integrate with Alexa, Google Home, or Apple HomeKit. For Quebec homes with electric heating, smart thermostats can reduce heating costs by 15-25% by automatically lowering temperatures when you're away or sleeping and warming rooms before you arrive. Reflection Electric installs and programs smart thermostats as part of new heating installations or as standalone upgrades to your existing heaters.
What is radiant floor heating and where does it work best?
Radiant floor heating uses electric cables or mats installed beneath your flooring to warm the floor surface directly — providing even, comfortable heat without the drafts and dust movement of baseboard heaters. Reflection Electric installs radiant floor heating most commonly in bathrooms, kitchens, basements, and entryways where warm floors make the biggest comfort difference. It works best under tile, stone, and engineered hardwood. Each zone gets its own thermostat and dedicated circuit. Radiant heating is typically installed during renovation when flooring is being replaced, since the cables go beneath the finished floor.
Can my electrical panel handle more heating circuits?
Electric heating is the single largest electrical load in most Quebec homes, so panel capacity is a real concern when adding heaters. Reflection Electric performs a full load calculation during every heating consultation — we add up your existing electrical demands (heating, appliances, lighting, EV charger, hot tub) and determine whether your panel has room for additional heating circuits. Homes on 100-amp service frequently need an upgrade to 200A before adding significant heating load. Reflection Electric handles panel upgrades and heating installations together as one coordinated project.
Do I need a permit to install electric heaters in Quebec?
New heating circuits in Quebec require electrical permits and inspections. If you're replacing an existing heater on an existing circuit with the same wattage, a permit may not be required — but adding new circuits, increasing wattage, or wiring heating in a new space always requires a permit. Reflection Electric handles all permit applications and coordinates inspections as part of every heating project. We ensure your installation meets Quebec electrical code for wire sizing, circuit protection, thermostat placement, and load limits — so it passes inspection the first time.
