Heated Driveways Are Not Just for the Snowiest StatesBYHYU 154
Radiant heated driveways, also called snow melting systems, are installed just beneath a driveway\u2019s surface and used to melt snow and ice without having to shovel, plow, snow blow or salt the driveway. \xa0 They keep the pavement warm enough to melt falling snow so it doesn\u2019t accumulate.\xa0 They also keep the driveway too warm to allow water to freeze into slippery, dangerous ice.\xa0
Even if you don\u2019t live in a region that gets lots of winter storms, you might consider a heated driveway if the limited amount of snow and ice you do get causes unsafe passage to and from your home\u2014 if you have a sloped driveway that would be difficult and dangerous, to drive on or clear, or if you have a sun-starved, north-facing driveway where snow and ice might not melt for many days, or even weeks. For those who get any amount of snow and ice, but don\u2019t have the\xa0time or physical ability for adequate removal, you might at least consider a heated driveway.\xa0 Keep in mind, in areas that get less snow, it\u2019s harder to find someone to hire for snow and ice removal.\xa0 A heated driveway could even be considered an aging in place feature.
