How Snow and Ice Melt Systems Work
Snow and ice melt systems utilize electric heating cables or hydronic tubing installed beneath the surface of your driveway, walkway, or patio. When activated, these systems generate heat that warms the surface, melting snow and ice on contact from the bottom up. The melted water drains away, leaving your outdoor spaces clear and safe to navigate – and you never have to pick up a shovel!
Benefits of Snow and Ice Melt Systems
Convenience
Never worry about shoveling snow or spreading ice melt chemicals, which can degrade your landscaping. Snow melt systems operate automatically, melting snow and ice as soon as it begins to accumulate, so you can enjoy clear pathways and driveways without lifting a finger.
Safety
Slippery sidewalks and driveways pose a significant safety hazard during the winter months. Snow and ice melt systems eliminate ice buildup, reducing the risk of slips, falls, and accidents for you, your family, and your guests. Plus, it eliminates the need for back-breaking labor on the coldest days.
Protects Surfaces
Traditional snow removal methods like shoveling and plowing can damage surfaces, including concrete, asphalt, and pavers. Snow and ice melt systems prevent damage by eliminating the need for physical snow removal, preserving the integrity and longevity of your outdoor spaces and hard surfaces.
Energy Efficiency
Electric snow melt systems are energy-efficient, as they only operate when needed and use electricity or heated water to melt snow and ice. By eliminating the need for continuous snow removal and reducing the use of ice melt chemicals, these systems can help lower your energy bills and reduce your environmental impact.
