    Clear Surfaces—No Shovels, No Salt

    We design hydronic or electric snow-melt systems for driveways and walkways that clear reliably without constant attention. Sensors and weather-responsive controls cut runtime and protect energy use.

    Zones are planned by exposure and traffic so you can prioritize critical paths during storms while maintaining the rest economically.

    Design & Installation

    We lay out tubing/cable spacing based on local design conditions, slab structure, and desired melt rate. Proper insulation and slab details reduce heat loss and speed response.

    Sensors (slab moisture/temperature) and controllers automate operation. Hydronic systems can share a boiler or use a dedicated source sized to the area and design day.

    We document zones, controller settings, and expected melt performance so operations are straightforward.

    Operation & Cost

    We explain automatic vs. manual modes, stand-by preheat, and weather lockouts so runtime matches the storm, not the calendar.

    You’ll see realistic operating cost ranges vs. plowing/salt and get practical ways to lower runtime—priority paths, wind breaks, and staging.

    Monitoring options log temperatures and runtime so you can verify performance and adjust settings with evidence.

    Service & Maintenance

    Seasonal checks confirm glycol concentration (hydronic), pump/valve operation, and sensor accuracy. We test each zone before winter and after major storms.

    If performance dips, we diagnose flow restrictions, air intrusion, or sensor drift and correct them, then log the change.

    A maintained system melts faster, costs less to run, and lasts longer—especially in freeze-thaw cycles.

    Imagine never shoveling or salting again. Professionally designed snow-melt systems clear driveways, walkways, and high-traffic areas automatically—improving safety, convenience, and property appearance all winter long.

    We design hydronic and electric systems sized for your climate, site conditions, and priorities. You'll see layout drawings, expected melt performance, operating cost estimates, and smart control options that balance comfort with efficiency.

    Call 412-651-1266 to schedule your snow-melt design consultation. We'll visit your site, discuss your goals, and provide a detailed proposal with drawings, equipment specifications, and transparent pricing for Greater Pittsburgh installations.
