Are you thinking about switching from gas to electric or completely electrifying your home? Do you wanna learn more about electric heating installation? This video is about what I wish I had known before getting an electric heating system for our home. I installed convection heaters (Stelpro Mirage) and smart thermostats (Ecobee) for energy savings and remote control. Join me as I am sharing our experience switching from gas to electric heating. Enjoy!

If you can, choose geothermal. Geothermal saves the most money in the long run, is eco-friendly and absolutely quiet. Air-Source heat pumps are an alternative that is still much more efficient than electric heating at a significantly lower upfront cost than geothermal.
Smart thermostats can easily work on high-voltage using a transformer combined with a relay (Aube Technologies RC840T-240 On/Off Switching Electric Heating Relay with Built-in 24 V Transformer).
