Residential Driveway Snow Melt Systems

Getting rid of the snow on your driveway is an arduous task for those who have to shovel it out, especially if the snow is a couple of inches thick. Not only is shoveling snow a labor-intensive task, but it also comes with inherent health risks and potential for injury.

It is for this reason that you might want to consider investing in residential heated driveway systems so that you don’t have to wake up early and clear the snow out of your driveway. Just turn on the heating system and let it work its magic, and within a couple of minutes, you can go about your daily routine.

The technology relies on heating elements to generate heat. The heat radiates from these elements and melts the snow in your driveway. Primarily, two methods are employed in residential heated driveway systems: hydronic and electrical. Both methods involve uncovering the surface pavers of your driveway to install parts of the system.

Types of Heated Driveways with Permeable Pavers

Hydronic Heated Paver Driveway

Hydronic heated paver driveway systems use pumps to drive heated water, steam, or a mixture of water and chemicals via a network of pipes installed underneath your driveway. The source for heating is normally an electrical boiler located near the piping network, but gas, wood-fired, and oil-fired boilers can also be used. It is a closed cycle system where the liquid in circulation returns to the heating source after it dissipates its heat throughout your driveway. Minimal heat gets lost to the surroundings, making it an efficient form of heat delivery.

Additionally, if you already have a hydronic floor/room system in your house, you can expand the piping network to create a hydronic heated paver driveway as well. Minimal changes may be required to account for the additional heating load; hence, it can serve as a more feasible and cost-effective system.

Electric Radiant Heat Driveway

On the other hand, electric heated driveway systems rely on heating elements connected to your home’s electrical network. They are much more efficient than hydronic systems as the electrical energy gets directly converted to heat energy. The absence of additional parts means you get an even more efficient system. Again, these elements are installed underneath your driveway on top of heat-conducting tiles or pavers that conduct heat and melt the snow on their surface.

The system is more responsive as heating elements take less time to come up to operating temperature, allowing you to clear your driveway quickly.

Current technology allows All Island Radiant to install a fully automatic system, complete with sensors that detect all forms of precipitation. The system handles everything, and you always wake up to a clean and dry driveway. The automatic function can also be bypassed for manual operation during the summer months. This enables you to save up on energy costs when the heating system will likely remain out of service.

After your first initial contact, our experienced professionals will visit your home to outline the requirements of a residential heated driveway system. In our experience, no two jobs are the same. We look at the project from every angle to identify the possible hindrances you can face so that you get an optimal driveway clearance experience. A few of the considerations we have to keep in mind are as follows:

Surface Area

The surface area of the driveway needs to be heated. If you opt for a hydronic heating system, then we need to figure out the length of the piping required, the flow rate of the heating medium, and the boiler’s heating capacity. We can retrofit the system to your existing heating system or make a standalone heating system as per your instructions. If you opt for the electric heating system, we need to calculate the length of the heating element required that will dissipate sufficient heat on your driveway. If you opt for heating elements with a higher current carrying capacity, your driveway will heat up quicker and dry faster.

Cost

You may also want to inquire about the maintenance and operating costs of your system. Our representatives can provide you the estimated energy bill you’ll have to endure and the installation costs. It all depends on the system you choose and the extent of coverage you require. No matter what you choose, we’ll give you a clear picture of what you can expect out of your customized system while meeting your budgetary requirements. Of course, the larger the system is, the more operational, installation, and maintenance costs are associated with it.

Driveway Surface

The surface of your driveway greatly affects how heat gets conducted to the surface snow. Though all systems can be installed under different driveway surfaces like asphalt, concrete, or tiles, some are better at conducting heat than others. Our trained professionals can provide you with the different options available so that you get desired performance.
