Electric heating cable technology is also widely used for outdoor heating applications to minimise the hazards of snow, ice and frost and to ensure outdoor safety in winter.
Established in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1942 as a manufacturer of heating elements for industrial purposes, DEVI Electric Heating has grown significantly over the years and is now Europe’s leading electric heating brand.

Electric heating products and solutions are applied almost everywhere and anywhere you can imagine. It is used in a wide range of applications; inside and outside residential houses, apartments and public buildings. In can also be found in infrastructure, sports fields and even in more specific areas ranging from trains to airports and roads. In 2003, DEVI Electric Heating joined the Danfoss family.
As the world faces rising gas prices and potential supply disruption, electric heating powered by renewable energy sources is gaining importance as a valuable and sustainable heating option.
Indeed, demand for electricity is forecast to grow to 30% in 2030 and to reach 50% by 2050 as we strive to hit ambitious climate targets. These renewable energy sources will help significantly decrease CO2 emissions.
When combined with modern, intelligent controls, electric heating can make grids smarter and facilitate renewable energy consumption. Also, with the use of electric heating, no harmful substances are emitted to the air or to the soil.
Electric underfloor heating is a major opportunity to help reduce emissions, increase energy efficiency in buildings, and ultimately enable countries to to meet their ambitious climate targets.
Electric underfloor heating in combination with solar PV is perceived to be the most cost-efficient heating solution when it comes to highly insulated residential buildings. Electric underfloor heating is also set to become cheaper for consumers than traditional gas, liquid and solid fuel technology.
Electric heating enables a comfortable room temperature with the lowest possible energy consumption. Room temperature can be reduced by 1 - 2 °C on average compared to traditional radiator heating, saving energy use and costs. 99% of the energy consumed by the electric underfloor heating is converted into heat, maximising its energy efficiency and avoiding unnecessary energy losses by having to circulate water, for example.
An electric heating system can achieve the required temperature quickly even though this varies a bit depending on the floor construction. What this means is that rooms can be heated only when required which therefore produces some amazing energy savings. The positioning of the source of heat under the floor and very precise thermostatic control ensure an exceptionally high level of energy utilisation, giving reduced energy consumption without compromising thermal comfort.
Electric heating for indoor ensures comfortable room temperatures, be it at home, at the office, in a workshop, sports hall or virtually anywhere where comfortable heat is required. Equally important is the fact that our floor heating system can be installed in all floor types whether they are new concrete or wooden floors or renovated floors.
The ice and snow melting system for roofs and roof gutters can be applied for virtually any type of roof constructions to prevent meltwater accumulation in roof gutters and to reduce damage to constructions like frozen facades and roofs. The typical applications are roof constructions, roof gutters, downpipes, flat roofs and valley gutters.
Liquid supply systems, such as fresh water pipes, waste water pipes, cooling water pipes, supply water pipes and sprinkler systems can be prevented from freezing during winter times, with electric heating frost protection systems.
Large outdoor spaces, such as car parking areas, driveways, pavements, outdoor steps, loading platforms, ramps, bridges and drainage areas can be cost-efficiently protected during winter times, by ice and snow melting applications.
The electric heating system for domestic hot water maintains water supply at the required temperature level, provides appropriate disinfection to suppress the Legionella bacteria, reduces water waste as you get hot water immediately and savings when a circulating pipe system is unnecessary.
In areas where very cold dry air meets warm moist air, the moisture contained in the warm air flow may settle on the cold surface and turn into ice. Cold store solutions prevent frost heave and ensure frost protection in industrial buildings, supermarkets with cold rooms, cold stores and ice stadiums.
Installation of the Ice & Snow Melting System ensures a steady solution to address cold weather-related problems. Main purpose of the system is to melt and remove snow and ice from ground surfaces.
Electric heating in the sport fields or stadiums serves as a growth and restoration stimulator for natural grass. It ensures a better pitch that can extend the playable season, irrespective of the season or location and serves as an energy efficient solution preventing the field from being adversely affected by frost and snow during the winter.
Electric heating protects grapes against frost damage and offers a sustainable solution for clean future through low energy consumption during the frost period, saving up to 87% of the harvest.

The Remarkables Ski Field is one of New Zealand's premier ski fields, located at a longitude of 45.05 degrees South, elevation 1,586 m and situated near the North end of the Remarkables range. The base building has approximately 2,500 m² of heated outdoor patio at a density of 200 W/m². The heating of the patio matches the needs and requirements to prevent the surface accumulation of ice in a modern and highly efficient way.
Digital controllers have the unique features allowing you to reduce energy waste. Some thermostats are fitted with Wi-Fi allowing remote control of heating systems via mobile application.
Heating mats are used for the installation of a thin layer of tile adhesive, self-leveling mixture, or similar. The standard minimum thickness of the floor layer is 5-8 mm while the thickness of electric heating mat is 3–4.5 mm. This minimises the floor level increase. Electric heating mats consist of a thin cable securely fixed on self-adhesive glass-fibre mesh, usually of 50 cm width. Thin heating mats are manufactured as ready-made heating sections with a specific area (i.e. 0.5, 1, 1.5 … 12 m²) including a power supply cable (cold lead) and hermetically sealed connections.
Heating cables are used for a variety of applications, including indoor comfort floor heating and total heating both for small houses as well as large commercial buildings. Heating cables are mostly used in connection with new building or larger renovation projects.
Analogue thermostats are electronic control units allowing setting the heating system type and adjustment of control parameters.
Indoor thermostat is an integral component of the electric heating system, used to control the floor heating.Thermostats are electronic devices allowing precise control of the floor surface or air temperatures. They are equipped with air or/and underfloor temperature sensors control the heating element.
