Winter weather brings slippery walkways, snow covered driveways, and damaged surfaces caused by snow-clearing. What’s even worse is when you have to go out and shovel the snow or throw down some ice melt ourself. With electric snow melting, you can say goodbye to the back breaking work that the winter months bring.
Wondering how electric snow melting works? It’s pretty simple.
A licensed professional installs the product of your choosing, either ProMelt Cables or Mats, beneath your driveway and walkway. As opposed to a hydronic system which uses hot water þowing through tubing to generate heat, an electric heating solution utilizes electricity to heat up the cables under the paved surface. All without needing to touch a shovel.
No Shoveling!
Noticing a theme?Shoveling is by far the worst part of winter. Oftentimes it feels like as soon as one snowstorm ends, another begins. This is especially troublesome if you have a large property with many places in need of clearing when snow falls. Now, you can put the shovel away for good.
Waking up early or in the middle of the night to make sure the driveway is clear for the start of the day is in the past. ProMelt controls have options for fully automatic operation or automatic start with timed melting. Now, you can get up and start your day without snow or ice inconveniencing you.
Safe Walkways
Although snowy trees and roads can make for a beautiful picture, snow also brings an everyday danger if left untreated. By installing an electric snow melting system, you can retire the rock salt that you’ll inevitably track into your home and also help prevent injuries from slippery surfaces. The last thing you want is someone to slip and fall on your property.
ProMelt Mats and Cables allow you to enjoy the benefits of snow melting in both easy and not so easy places to reach like curves, stairs, and free-form areas.
Prevent Damage
The need for clean walkaways extends beyond the safety of those who walk on them. Heavy machinery such as plows and snow blowers can permanently damage your driveway. Even if you don’t need a something as big as those machines, your typical ice melt is made of chemicals that are corrosive to your driveway.
Having an electric snow melting system will help prolong the integrity of your driveway and walkways by eliminating the snow from beneath rather than above.
Cost Avoidance
Let’s get the obvious out of the way first. Having a snow melting system installed means you don’t need to go outside to shovel or chip away at ice. The system does all the back breaking work for you.
Another great money savings perk of electric snow melting is it allows you to skip buying rock salt and paying for plowing services.
Electric snow melting is a cost-effective method of snow removal with many benefits outside of just not having to shovel. To learn more about electric snow melting and it’s benefits, get in contact with one of our reps.
