Pentair announced the acquisition of Nuheat, a manufacturer of electric floor-heating systems. By combining Nuheat’s customized products and tailored expertise with Pentair’s Thermal Building Solutions’ broad range of Raychem heat-tracing systems for pipe freeze, snow-melting, and deicing applications, Pentair will be able to provide distributors, installers, and end-users with a complete and differentiated portfolio of floor heating and winter safety solutions.
Based in Vancouver, Canada, Nuheat is known for its innovative technology and providing customers with reliable, customized, and high-performance floor heating systems including North America’s first Wi-Fi enabled floor-heating thermostat. With a 4,000-point distribution network across the U.S. and Canada, the incorporation of Nuheat into Pentair’s portfolio of floor-heating and freeze-protection technology will enable Pentair’s Thermal Building Solutions to provide floor heating products to more customers in North America.
“As a provider of heat-tracing systems for commercial, residential, and infrastructure markets, we are continuously looking to provide the best service and expertise to our customers,” says Brad Faulconer, vice president, Thermal Building Solutions. “This acquisition enables us to offer an extended, high-performance and innovative product range to our North American customers as well as provide them with enhanced application expertise and design support.”
Having sold more than 1 billion feet of Raychem self-regulating cables, Pentair’s Thermal Building Solutions provides safe and reliable heating cable products for commercial and residential building applications. The acquisition of Nuheat will enable Pentair to continue serving its customers with reliable and customized residential floor-heating and freeze-protection services and applications.
