Canadian winters are known for being long and cold, with many people struggling with snow and ice accumulation around their home. Clearing snow from walkways and driveways is a tedious but necessary task for homeowners to increase accessibility and reduce the risk of slipping on the ice. An electric snow melting system is a reliable and efficient solution to snow accumulation, and reduces the amount of snow shovelling that homeowners need to do.
A snow melting system entails installing heated mats and/or cables under the pavement, which will be able to clear the accumulated snow and ice on areas such as driveways, walkways, parking lots and stairs. Electric snow melting systems are quick and easy to install, and do not require extensive hardware. In addition to the heated cables and/or mats, snow melting systems may also require a relay panel, a controller and sensors.
