Waking up to a clear driveway after a snowstorm in Durango, Colorado is a wonderful feeling. The ski runs are all freshly covered, the mountains and valley look spectacular, and even though the roads are still hiden under the fresh snow, your driveway is clear and dry. Radiant heated driveways operate automatically, so when a storm hits during the night, the system kicks on and warms the driveway, preventing any snow buildup. That way you can start your day with a warm coffee mug in your hands instead of gloves and a cold snow shovel.
As environmentally-conscious homeowners look for clean, energy-efficient ways to keep driveways and sidewalks clear and safe during the winter months, radiant heat systems continue to be the solution of choice — not just in Durango, but throughout the country. Clean operating radiant heat systems operate without any negative side effects to the environment, but that's just one benefit. Warmzone® radiant snow melting systems offer an array of attractive characteristics, including:
Full Automation: Radiant snow melting systems are fully automated. An advanced snow sensor (aerial or pavement mounted, depending on your preference), detects both temperature and precipitation, so when weather conditions warrant, the sensor signals the system controller. Power is then sent to the embedded heat cable to warm the area and prevent snow from accumulating. The system remains on for a short time after the storm to dry the surface of the driveway so that thin sheets of "black ice" don't form. This valuable safety feature is known as the "afterrun" function. (The system controller also includes a manual override function so you can activate the system to melt snowdrifts or ice if needed.)
Versatile and Easy to Customize: Warmzone heated driveway systems can be easily customized to accommodate your snow melting needs as well as your budget. Heat cable can be installed to heat just about any layout and medium (even hot asphalt). This versatility makes it easy to customize your system to best meet your budget and available power as well. Installing heated tire tracks is a popular option for many homeowners, especially those with long driveways. Driveway heating systems can also be tailored to target specific areas. If you don't want to heat the entire driveway or parking area, you can simply heat a troublesome spot, such as an area that is always shaded, or perhaps an incline that is often treacherous after a snowstorm. The layout options are virtually limitless.
Maintenance Free: Warmzone’s electric radiant heat systems are relatively simple, consisting of only three main components. The controller, the activation device (snow sensor), and the heating element. Since they have no moving parts, the systems are reliable and maintenance free.
Superior Heating Element: Warmzone’s ClearZone heat cable features an advanced design and rugged construction. It’s intended to operate under adverse conditions, and can withstand the stress of heavy concrete pours, installation under stone pavers, and even in hot asphalt installations. (For details about our high-temperature asphalt heating cable, call 888.488.9276.) ClearZone™ heat cable is UL listed and features twin-conductor cable with FEP/XLPE insulation, polyolefin jacketing design for flexibility and UV protection. The superior cable allows the snowmelt system to consistently provide top performance during harsh winter conditions.
Customer Services: "Service" is a word that is often thrown around lightly nowadays, but that's not the case with Warmzone. We've built our company on the foundation of surperior service, and as such, we've raised the bar in the radiant heat industry. Warmzone includes free installation training, technical support, and professional system design and layout. Our training courses can be completed with an instructor online, via video conference. Every aspect of the installation is covered, and installers can stop and ask questions at any time. Technical support is also available. Even after the training, sometimes installers may encounter an unforeseen issue during the installation. Our radiant heat experts are only a phone call away, and we stand ready to assist you any time.
Custom system designs are provided by Warmzone. These professional drawings serve as a "road map" for installers, and include all the layout and electrical information, including: the proper materials and layout of cable and components, proper load calculations, breaker sizes, number of breakers, etc. By working with Warmzone, you partner with experienced professionals who will support you throughout the installation.
Environmentally Friendly: Warmzone radiant heated snow melting systems not only operate on renewable energy, but eliminate the need for salt and harsh snowmelt chemicals. Runoff from these can kill and damage nearby grass and other vegetation near the edge of the driveway, as well as damage the pavement over time.
Designed to ASHRAE Standards: No two heated driveways are exactly alike. Warmzone snow melting systems are designed to ASHRAE standards to ensure that customers receive the most effective and efficient snow melting solution for their location, layout, and snow melting needs.
Quick Response Time: Electric radiant snow melting systems are noted for their fast response time when compared to other radiant snow melting systems on the market.
