As winter weather intensifies, homeowners often grapple with the issue of snow-covered driveways.

The Functionality Of Driveway Snow Melting Driveway Systems

Driveway snow melting systems work by heating the driveway surface to melt snow and ice, preventing accumulation and ensuring a safe, clear surface. They consist of a network of heated cables or tubes installed beneath the driveway’s surface. There are two types: electric systems, which utilize heat cables, and hydronic systems that work with tubes filled with hot water. Both types radiate heat upwards, melting the snow as it falls.

The Hidden Costs And Drawbacks Of Snow Melting Systems

Despite their effectiveness, snow melting systems are often associated with high installation and operational costs. Depending on the size and complexity of the driveway, installation alone can run into thousands of dollars, with added expenses if the driveway requires excavation for system installation.

Moreover, these systems consume significant energy, contributing to hefty utility bills during heavy snowfall. Regular maintenance and servicing further increase the overall cost of these systems, and potential damage from system malfunction can result in costly repairs.
