Adding a Snow Melting System is Easy with a Free Installation Plan

Spring and summer are the ideal times to install a snow melting system — and the process is easier than most homeowners expect. Whether you're replacing a driveway, adding a new walkway, or resurfacing a patio, WarmlyYours makes it simple with a free custom installation plan included with every quote. For a full breakdown of what a system costs, see our heated driveway cost guide.

Why Spring and Summer Are the Best Time to Install

Snow melting cables and mats must be embedded beneath the surface — under asphalt, concrete, or in mortar beneath pavers. That means installation can only happen when the surface is being poured or replaced. Warm weather is essential: concrete and asphalt need adequate temperatures to cure properly, and most paving contractors won't schedule exterior work once temperatures drop in late fall.

By planning your installation in spring or summer, you'll have the best contractor availability, optimal curing conditions, and your system will be fully operational before the first snowfall.

What's Included in Your Free SmartPlan™

Every WarmlyYours quote comes with a free, no-obligation SmartPlan™ — a custom installation package prepared by our engineering team. It includes:

• An itemized product quote with MSRP pricing for your exact project
• An electrical plan detailing voltage, amperage, and circuit requirements
• An installation plan with precise layout instructions and spacing diagrams

Your electrician and contractor can use this plan directly — no guesswork, no surprises. To get your SmartPlan, simply submit a floor plan online with basic dimensions, email us at sales@warmlyyours.com, or call 800-875-5285.

Coverage Options: Full or Tire Tracks

WarmlyYours offers two primary coverage approaches for driveways:

• Full coverage — the entire driveway surface is heated. Maximum safety and convenience, higher installation cost.
• Tire track heating — two parallel heated strips (typically 2' wide) run the length of the driveway. Reduces installation cost by ~35% and operating costs significantly, while keeping the driveway passable in any snowfall.

Both options are available in mat or cable format. Mats are faster to install; cables offer more layout flexibility for irregular shapes.
