A complete solution from start to finish
Biothermic is a national company supplying all Canadian provinces and territories with world-leading wood heating systems from Fröling and Polytechnik. We merge top technology from Austria with North American heating system components to provide turnkey products for our clients.
Modern wood heating is in place and proven in many European countries, but Canada still views wood heating as just fireplaces and outdoor boilers. Modern wood heating offers centralized heating using low-cost, renewable fuels while maintaining total control and without creating smoke pollution.
Biothermic brings modern wood heating to Canada with well-designed, well-built, smart and complete heating systems.
