How Much Does A Heated Driveway Cost

I know that everyone wants a heated driveway, but they don’t want to spend money on it. Let me tell you how much it costs so that you can decide if it’s worth it for your home!

The cost of a heated driveway depends on the size and condition of your home, as well as whether you are adding a new driveway or repairing an existing one.

If you are adding a new driveway, the cost can range from $2,000 to $10,000 depending on the material. The most common materials for a heated driveway include concrete, asphalt, bricks or pavers.

If you are repairing an existing driveway, the cost will depend on how much damage there is and whether you need to replace any parts of it with new material.

Eco-Friendly Ice Melt

Five reasons why you should not use the heating system to melt ice

Although heated systems can help with many wintertime issues, they are not a perfect fix. Before purchasing a heated driveway or system, you should be aware of the following disadvantages:

• Hydronic heating tubes may stress concrete if the heat is not distributed uniformly. Cracking is even possible when the fluid temperature is significantly higher than the slab temperature.
• It could be necessary to tear up the pavement to repair broken heating coils. Sometimes only resurfacing is required, but the entire driveway needs to be reconstructed more often than not.
• Heated driveways can be expensive and will undoubtedly increase winter utility costs.
• Hydronic systems have high upfront installation costs but low ongoing operating costs. While installation is not overly expensive if you are laying down a new driveway, usage costs for heating coil systems are significantly higher.
• The decision to build a heated driveway will depend considerably on your particular circumstances. It would be best to consider wear-and-tear costs, which will raise your overall spending. In addition, they are not a substitute for ice melt and are not always practical.
