What Is a Snowmelt System?
Snowmelt systems are automated, hydronic heating systems installed directly beneath an exterior surface, such as your sidewalk, driveway, patio, etc. Once installed, the system of thermal tubing loops is designed to circulate warm water, which radiates heat throughout the structure, thus melting any snow/ice and improving safety and accessibility to the building.
It’s important to note that snowmelt systems must be installed with the construction of the surface because it isn’t possible to retrofit this type of system.
