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 home automation installation cost?
Reflection Electric's home automation projects start at $500 CAD and scale based on scope. Replacing a few switches with smart dimmers and setting up voice control sits at the lower end, while a full Control4 whole-home system with lighting, shades, climate, security, and audio integration is a larger investment. During your consultation, Reflection Electric assesses your home, discusses which devices and platforms fit your lifestyle, and provides a detailed quote covering hardware, wiring, installation, and programming.
What smart home platform should I choose — Lutron, Control4, or Alexa/Google?
Reflection Electric installs all three approaches and recommends based on your needs and budget. Lutron is the gold standard for lighting and shade control — rock-solid reliability, beautiful keypads, and seamless dimming. Control4 is best for homeowners who want centralized whole-home control of lighting, shades, climate, audio, security, and locks from one interface. Open-ecosystem setups using Alexa, Google Home, or Apple HomeKit offer the most flexibility and lowest entry cost — ideal for starting small and expanding over time. We often combine platforms, using Lutron for lighting and shades with Alexa or HomeKit as the voice layer.
Do my switches need neutral wires for smart home devices?
Most smart switches and dimmers require a neutral wire in the switch box to operate. Many older Quebec homes were wired without neutral wires at switch locations, which prevents standard smart switches from working. Reflection Electric solves this two ways: we can run neutral wires to switch boxes as part of the installation, or we can install systems like Lutron Caseta that work without neutral wires using their proprietary wireless technology. During your assessment, we check every switch location and recommend the best approach for your home's wiring.
Can you automate an existing home or only new construction?
Reflection Electric automates existing homes regularly across Terrebonne, Laval, and the Laurentians — no renovation required. Wireless smart systems like Lutron Caseta, smart thermostats, and Wi-Fi-connected devices can be installed in any home without new wiring. For more advanced installations that benefit from hardwired connections — like Control4 keypads, in-wall speakers, or wired sensors — Reflection Electric routes wiring with minimal disruption to finished walls. New construction and renovations offer the ideal opportunity to pre-wire for automation, but it's absolutely not a requirement.
What are smart home scenes and how do they work?
A scene is a single command that controls multiple devices simultaneously. Reflection Electric programs custom scenes based on how you use your home. For example, a "Good Morning" scene can open bedroom shades, raise kitchen lights to 80%, set the thermostat to 21°C, and unlock the front door — all triggered by one button, voice command, or schedule. A "Movie Night" scene can dim living room lights, lower shades, and turn off upstairs lights. We program scenes during installation and teach you how to create and modify your own.
Will smart home devices still work if my internet goes down?
It depends on the platform. Reflection Electric prioritizes systems that maintain local control during internet outages. Lutron Caseta and RadioRA operate entirely on a local network — your lights and shades work perfectly with no internet. Control4 also runs locally for core functions. Some cloud-dependent devices like certain smart plugs and voice assistants lose remote control without internet, but physical switches and local automation rules continue to work. We design your system so that essential functions — lights, shades, climate — never depend on a cloud connection.
How long does home automation installation take?
Reflection Electric typically completes a starter smart home setup — a few smart switches, a hub, and voice assistant configuration — in half a day. A whole-room Lutron lighting and shade system takes one to two days. A full Control4 whole-home installation with lighting, shades, climate, security, and audio can take three to five days depending on scope and whether new wiring is needed. During your consultation, Reflection Electric provides a specific timeline and schedules installation to minimize disruption to your household.
