Boiler (water heater)
Our high-performance Thermolec TMB electric boilers are both reliable and affordable. Designed with high-quality components, they come with an impressive ten-year warranty on parts. Some of our models even include an electronic control board that supports the use of two energy sources. It should be noted that other brands of boilers may also be compatible with our systems.
Manifold
The manifold directs the water to the different sections of your underfloor heating system. Capable of a high flow rate (up to five litres per minute), our stainless steel manifolds are equipped with a surface thermometer, isolation valves, a bleeder or drain (as required) and a wall bracket. You can add 24-volt zone valves to provide better comfort control in each room of the building.
Automatic Air Vent
This part, which is always installed at the top of the assembly, makes it possible to remove air from the system without releasing any water.
Pump
Our systems use one of the most popular and versatile pumps on the market. The pump features a cast iron or stainless steel housing, an integrated removable non-return valve, and a three-speed motor. The range of available speeds makes it possible to customize and optimize the pump settings based on the size of the system.
Expansion Tank
The system needs an expansion tank because the density of water varies depending on its temperature. Our high-quality and glycol-compatible (up to 50%) expansion tanks are suitable for hot water installations, solar heating systems and cooling systems. They are equipped with a bladder (made of EPDM rubber) to separate air from water and avoid contact with the steel. Made from two layers of welded steel, our tanks are designed to withstand high pressure loads and come with an exceptional five-year warranty.
Relief Valve
The relief (purge) valve drains water to relieve excess pressure.
Injection Valve
The main role of the injection valve is to automatically maintain water pressure (or the pressure of the water/glycol mixture) in the closed loops of the radiant heating system.
Copper Press Fittings
Copper press fittings require no soldering. A specialized tool ensures a perfect watertight joint.
Simple and Easy
In order to make your life easier, we do most of the work ourselves by pre-assembling the panel for your underfloor heating system. All you need to do is install the provided tubing and you’re done. You’ll receive an easy-to-follow installation guide with your order and several how-to videos are available here. If you prefer to have a plumber take care of the installation, we will gladly recommend one of our affiliated experts.
Durable and Reliable
Enjoy long-term savings on heating costs with our revolutionary underfloor heating systems. Virtually maintenance-free, built to last for the life of your building and covered by a rock-solid warranty, HCW’s underfloor heating systems are sure to add value to your building.
Versatile and Made-to-Order
Every HCW panel is custom-assembled in our factory. It is designed based on the characteristics of your building: the energy source, the surface area and the number of rooms to be heated. You’ll enjoy savings thanks to our custom manufacturing system: you only pay for the parts you need. This versatile system works with all types of floor coverings.
Warranties
Boilers (water heaters)
One of the best warranties on the market! Ten years on electric boilers and five years on gas boilers.
Parts
We have confidence in our plumbing parts and warranty them for three years. Pumps, manifolds, bleed valves, expansion tanks and PEX tubing are all covered by the warranty.
Manufacturing and Assembly
Your panel comes with a one-year manufacturer’s warranty covering any defects in the factory-made panel assembly.
100% compatible with all types of floor coverings
Our water-based underfloor heating systems are compatible with all types of floor coverings: hardwood, floating wood, ceramic and many more. Let your imagination run wild: the possibilities are endless!
Characteristics of hydronic underfloor heating systems
Can I heat my entire home with an underfloor heating system?
Of course! Our water-based underfloor heating systems produce enough heat to keep your entire home at your desired temperature. They’ll meet your heating needs in even the coldest weather, with no need to add other heat sources.
Why choose a hydronic underfloor heating system over an electric one?
Water-based underfloor heating systems are ideally suited to new construction. Unlike with systems that use electric wires, repairs will never involve digging up your floors all the way down to the concrete.
Discover the benefits of hydronic underfloor heating systemsAre your systems water-based or glycol-based?
Our systems use a water-based liquid that contains some antifreeze (glycol). The latter protects the underfloor heating system against breakage by preventing the pipes from freezing.
