FAQ

Heated Driveway Pros: Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How much does a Hydronic Snow Melting System cost?

• A: The cost varies based on the area size and specific requirements. On average, the system components (pipes, boiler, insulation, and pumps) can cost between CAD 25 to CAD 35 per square foot. For a standard 1500 SQFT driveway, the system might cost around CAD 60,000, excluding finishing costs like concrete or asphalt.

Q: How does the Hydronic Snow Melting System work?

• A: The system circulates a glycol solution through a series of pipes installed beneath the driveway surface. This solution is heated by a boiler and transfers warmth to the driveway, melting snow and ice.

Q: Can the system be installed on existing concrete driveways?

• A: Installation on existing concrete driveways is possible, but it typically involves removing the current surface, installing the system, and then reapplying a new surface layer. It’s more cost-effective when incorporated into new constructions or when the driveway is due for replacement.

Q: Can installing a snow melting system be considered an investment?

• A: Absolutely. It adds value to your property by enhancing safety and convenience. It also saves time and effort that would otherwise be spent on snow removal and reduces the need for de-icing chemicals that can damage the driveway.

Q: How long do these systems last?

• A: With proper installation and maintenance, a hydronic snow melting system can last for many years. The longevity of the system is comparable to that of the driveway surface itself.

Q: What is the energy efficiency of snow melting systems?

• A: Hydronic systems are generally more energy-efficient compared to electric systems. The efficiency also depends on the boiler used. Modern, high-efficiency boilers can significantly reduce operational costs.

Q: Still Have Doubts?

• A: We understand that investing in a snow melting system is a significant decision. If you have more questions or need further clarification, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Our team at Heated Driveway Pros is here to provide you with all the information you need to make an informed choice.
