As one of the most durable, versatile, and long-lasting radiant heat cables on the market, ClearZone heat cable is a proven radiant snow melting solution. The twin-conductor cable features a polyolefin outer jacket with fluoropolymer insulation and metal sheathing. Combined with the advanced snow sensor and controller/contactor panel, the ClearZone snow melting system is one of the most trusted systems on the market. A special "asphalt" snow melting cable is also available. This rugged heat cable can be installed in any snow melting application. The rugged heat cable is designed to withstand the extreme heat and compression of new asphalt installations.
Warmzone offers the premier heat cable that carries one of the industry's most comprehensive 10-year warranties. Warmzone also manufacturers snow melting cable that features a specially designed outer jacket for hot asphalt installations. Simply put, Warmzone snow melting cable is the trusted heat cable of choice among professional builders. When combined with the inclusive customer services such as free installation training, installation support, and system design, Warmzone snow melting solutions are virtually unparalleled.
Electric heated driveway systems with a pavement-mount snow sensor utilize a small wall-mounted control unit to power the snow melting system. The master controllers include line and load terminal blocks, and operating contactors.
The snow melting system controller features a built-in, easy-to-use programmable timer and digital operator interface with manual override capability. The unit is compact, durable, and efficient, further complementing the overall performance of the ClearZone snow melting system. Its two-zone control allows you to individually control two zones at the same time.
Using readings from temperature and moisture sensors, the controller ensures economical control of power consumption when keeping outdoor areas free of ice and snow. These heated driveways feature a moisture sensor that is installed in the surface of the driveway. As soon as moisture is detected, the controller activates the snow melting system. Once the sensor has dried out, the thermostat immediately switches the heating system off.
Most Warmzone radiant heated driveway systems utilize an aerial-mount snow sensor. This highly sophisticated, yet durable device automatically activates the driveway snowmelt system when certain conditions are met. (If the temperature is below the adjustable setpoint, and precipitation is detected, the sensor signals the system controller and power is sent to the embedded heating element.) The sensor has several notable features, including: adjustable temperature trigger point, adjustable delay off cycle, upgradeable remote activation, and it is smart-system compatible.
Pavement-mount snow switches are also available, but these are more commonly used in commercial applications. These devices also allow the radiant snow melting system to be 100 percent automated, activating only when weather conditions warrant. Manual mode allows you to activate the system in case the wind blows snow onto the driveway or ice forms due to wind or shade.
ClearZone cable is UL listed and consists of a twin conductor with FEP/XLPE insulation. Its polyolefin jacketing provides flexibility and durability, as well as UV protection. The radiant heating cable is rated at 220° Fahrenheit and is designed to produce 30-50 watts per square foot, providing the quickest response time among snowmelt systems.

A certified electrician is required to hook up power to the control unit (for warranty purposes), but the rest of the system can be installed by any contractor. (However, it is important to have the installer(s) attend the free installation training course offered by Warmzone.) Cold leads are wired to the master control unit and then run to the radiant heating cable. The pre-spliced cold leads are spliced to the heating cable, and the cable is laid out over the driveway, walkway, or area to be heated.
Automated Driveway Heating SystemsHeated driveways and snow melting systems feature energy-efficient, maintenance-free automated operation. The electric radiant heating systems detect precipitation and automatically switch heat on and off as needed. 
ClearZone heating cable is proven to effectively heat concrete, asphalt and paver driveways. The twin-conductor, single-point connection heat cable is one of the most trusted snow melting cables on the market. The specially designed cable for asphalt installations features a durable outerjacket to withstand the extreme temperatures. The cable distributes heat evenly to the structure, resulting in a heated driveway and/or sidewalk that is kept free of ice and snow throughout winter storms. The fully programmable snow melting system makes labor-intensive snow shoveling and the use of harsh chemicals and salting a thing of the past. Radiant heated driveway systems can also increase the lifespan of the driveway by eliminating salt corrosion, frost damage, and potential damage from snow plows and other manual snow removal methods.
