Heated Driveways Work Behind the Scenes

What is the point of installing a fancy heated driveway system if you have to be home to turn it on? That would mean countless snow storms would happen while you were at work, gone for the weekend, or out running errands and you would have to come home to a packed driveway. It would sort of defeat the purpose of having a fancy heated driveway system, now wouldn’t it? Luckily Warmzone offers a fully-automated, maintenance-free, energy-efficient radiant heat system. These snow melting systems are seamless cables beneath the surface of your driveway and sidewalks. When engaged, a snowmelt system automatically detects temperature and precipitation and knows to turn itself on heating only when the need arises.

Automated radiant heated driveway.The heating cables used for a radiant heated driveway are extremely durable and come with a 10-year warranty. The radiant heat cables distribute heat evenly across the surface of your driveway keeping it free from snow and ice all year long. Your fully programmable automated snowmelt system takes the labor out of labor-intensive snow removal and eliminates the need for you to shovel snow and keep bags if snow melting salt on hand. The salt and other harsh chemicals aren’t that great for your driveway surface and surrounding landscape anyway, so that is sort of a win-win. A heated driveway from Warmzone works behind the scenes, leaving you to enjoy other winter related activities, none of which involve your shoveling your driveway to reach those activities.

Q: What is Warm and Underground and Melts Snow?

A: Radiant Heated Driveways

I love a good question that has an even better answer. Asking yourself each year why you have to break your back shoveling snow from your driveway is also a great question. Why put yourself through that torture, when radiant heat technology will do it for you? Installing a radiant heated driveway means that all the warmth from the cables underground radiate upward giving your driveway little time to accumulate snow. In fact, any precipitation that does fall quickly melts when it reaches the heated driveway. Radiant heated driveways are the latest home improvement project that don’t cost a lot up front but give a huge bang for the buck on the back! Literally, your back will love you. So will your knees, shoulders, and hips.

A snow melting system is simple to install under any type of driveway or sidewalk. Many businesses utilize them as well for their loading docks or entryways. The radiant heat cables are laid beneath the existing surface in a design specific to your space that you desire snow melting capabilities. Then with the help of a smart snow sensor, the temperature and level of moisture triggers the snow melting system to turn on. This means that your heated driveway is only heated when called for. It won’t run 24 hours a day, thereby wasting precious energy and money. A heated driveway heats only when there is snow present. You could go out of town and come back after several storms and find that your driveway is clear and visible, so go ahead and ask yourself if radiant heated driveways are right for you.
