Radiant Heated Driveway and Snow Melting System Options
Radiant heated driveways and snow melting systems can be easily customized
to meet your snow melting needs and your budget. Electric heated driveways utilize
heat cable that can be configured to warm unique spaces because the cable can be easily
manipulated and installed to warm custom areas. The cable can even be laid out to heat
steps or narrow pathways and ramps.

Popular Radiant Heat Snow Melting Options
Whether you want to heat your driveway, walkways, patio and other areas to keep them free from snow and ice, or simply want a minimal radiant heating system that allows you to be able to get in and out of your driveway during heavy winter storms, there are a number of radiant snow melting solutions that will meet your specific needs.
Heat entire areas - Radiant heat can be installed to keep
your entire driveway, sidewalks, and other outdoor areas completely clear of
snow and ice. Snow melting systems are often installed to heat entire ramps,
parking areas, bridges, sidewalks and walkways, and more.
Apply radiant heat only to trafficked areas - Heat the most trafficked areas of your property, whether it's asphalt, cement or stone pavers. For example, instead of heating an entire driveway, just heat an 8-foot strip in the middle of the driveway, or the most trafficked area of a ramp or loading platform. Or heat a 3-foot center portion of sidewalks or entryways. Save money by installing radiant heat only to areas that are going to be accessed the most.
Heat small, select surface areas - Rather than installing
a snowmelt system under the entire driveway surface, apply radiant heat
only to minimal areas. For example, install a pair of 2-foot-wide heated tire
tracks for your driveway. The top radiant heat providers will
work closely with you to show you how to best meet your snow melting needs while
keeping within your budget.
Small, custom sized radiant heated snowmelt systems can be installed in disability ramps, stairways, small patios, walkways, dog kennels, and more. The applications are limited only by your imagination.
Both electric and hydronic radiant heat technologies can be used for heated driveways and snowmelt systems. Both of these Warmzone systems feature the highest quality components available. Radiant heated driveways can be installed in virtually any application and customized to any unique shape, making radiant snow melting a realistic option for all consumers.

Driveway Heating
Controls and Activation Devices
Snow sensors and controllers ensure fully automated, energy-efficient snowmelt operation. The radiant heated snow melting system utilizes minimal energy, yet achieves optimal results. The driveway heating system is activated by the snow sensor only when specific weather conditions have been met. The heated driveway system then shuts down when it is no longer needed.
The master control unit used for heated driveways with an in-ground snow sensor features an easy-to-use digital interface with a programmable timer and manual override capability. If you choose, you can activate the system for an allotted time and then shut it off after the time expires. The manual mode is particularly useful for times if you need to melt snowdrifts or ice as a result of winds and shade.
It is possible to operate the controller from an external signal (day/week timer, GSM-module or other signal source) It can be switched on/off (standby) and the heating system can be forced on, in the after run time that has been set in the menu.
Controller Features:
- ● Electronic on/off control up to 11 KW
- ● 2-zone control, individually controlled at the same time
- ● Economical control - Minimizes energy consumption
- ● Control of electrical or hydronic snow melting systems
- ● Detection of temperature and moisture
- ● Display and "knob wheel" for easy programming
- ● Adjustable moisture sensitivity
The master control unit is designed to accommodate extension units for larger jobs, making automated snow removal possible for virtually any sized project. For more information, call 888.488.9276 or CONTACT US online.
