This project in Vaughan, Ontario, features a state-of-the-art electric snow melting system expertly installed within a new 767 sq. ft. asphalt driveway and adjoining stairs. The homeowners now have a powerful and efficient solution for automatic snow removal, guaranteeing safe, clear surfaces throughout the harsh Canadian winter. This heated driveway eliminates the need for shoveling, plowing, and corrosive de-icing chemicals.
To provide complete and reliable coverage, this installation utilized a combination of high-performance components tailored to the specific surfaces.
The entire ground heating system is governed by a premium automatic controller and an aerial-mounted snow sensor. This smart combination detects both temperature and moisture, activating the system only when it's cold enough and wet enough to form snow or ice, ensuring maximum energy efficiency.
