Wesley and the Well - March 2009
Bringing water and community together. In March 2009, Nuheat employees came together to support a wonderful project to build a well in Singo, a community in Southen Sudan.

While Wesley was on vacation in Europe a war broke out between the North and South in his home country of Sudan. He was unable to return home and went instead to Kenya where he became a refugee. In Kenya he met his wife, and together they emigrated to Surrey, Canada. He journeyed back to his community, years later…giving them the gift of water.

"Before I dreaded taking a shower or getting out of a bath because I would feel so cold and I feared my body 'freezing' as has happened many times in recent years. Now I can stand on the heated floor in my bare feet without even a towel wrapped around me and not shiver. I feel normal again. Thank you, Nuheat."
Wally, Homeowner — Suffers from Parkinson's, Wilmot Creek, Ontario

"We live at 7000 ft above sea level. Last week it was -26 Celsius. However, our Nuheat kept our bathroom tile floor absolutely toasty and it has never failed in the 12 years that we have had it. The heat radiating from the floor sure beats a cold floor when using a forced air heater. Our next house will have Nuheat throughout! Thanks for a great product."
Frank & Sheri, Homeowners, Meeteetse, Wyoming

"We love the Nuheated tiles in our new kitchen. From the easy installation to the user-friendly thermostat, this system couldn't work any better. The pre-settings on the thermostat are great. Not only will it save me money, but it is also fantastic to walk into a warm kitchen in the morning. I've become an evangelist for Nuheat's products. Thanks again Nuheat!"
Greg, Homeowner, North Vancouver

"Nuheat, a product I strongly recommend, is the only type of electric heating I would use. Nuheat is a great product - highly efficient compared to older technology."
Mike Holmes, Contractor & host of the hit TV series Holmes on Homes

"I love this stuff. I actually have this in my own home. It's a great way to heat the space and make it more comfortable."
Lou Manfredini, Today Show contributor, "Mr. Fix It"

"Nuheat is what makes our house a home."
Stephanie, Homeowner

"It's simple."
