Why infrared training?

In a context where energy efficiency has become a governmental and commercial priority, electric infrared heating stands out as a high-performance, economical and environmentally-friendly solution. Yet, despite its exceptional potential, this technology remains largely under-utilized in Quebec – not because of technical limitations, but simply because of a lack of awareness. Electrical industry professionals are regularly faced with situations where customers are desperately seeking heating solutions for complex environments: garages with doors constantly open, high-ceilinged warehouses, commercial terraces, municipal facilities exposed to extreme cold. All too often, lacking in-depth knowledge of infrared, these professionals recommend conventional solutions that systematically fail or generate prohibitive operating costs.

Why Technirep?

The CMEQ selected Technirep after a rigorous evaluation of market players, based on several decisive criteria:

• Unmatched technical expertise: Over 25 years of specialized experience with 1,000+ successful installations in Quebec
• Independent validation: Hydro-Québec reports that Technirep systems are 2-4 times more efficient than gas alternatives
• Industry leadership: Realization of residential, commercial, industrial, institutional and governmental projects in partnership with master electricians, electrical distributors, architects and engineers.

Training developed in collaboration

The development of this self-training program mobilized Technirep and CMEQ teams for several months, ensuring that the content met the highest standards of pedagogical quality and technical relevance.

How to choose the right electric infrared heating solution

This training, now available through the CMEQ’s Centre d’éducation et de formation (CEF), enables master electricians to :

• Describe the principle and operation of infrared heating, including its advantages and limitations;
• Identifying ideal applications for infrared heating ;
• Select and recommend the heating solution best suited to customer needs, taking into account energy efficiency, thermal comfort and operating costs.

Technirep’s contribution: Technical expertise based on 25+ years of field experience, integration of real-life case studies with measured performance data, practical sizing methodologies and ROI calculations. Validation by CMEQ: Review by expert committee, alignment with professional standards and Quebec electrical codes, inclusion in official CEF catalog with industry-recognized attestation.
