Driveway heating Toronto
No more dangerous slippery driveways. Heatedway company will take care of it.
What is a heated driveway system?
A heated driveway system prevents winter problems. With the push of a button, you ensure that snow and ice disappear from your driveway. Everything can work fully automatically, so you never have to worry about the safety of your driveway again. You can control the system manually if required.
Types of Heated Driveways
Radiant heating systems are now leading underfloor heating and snow-melting technologies. For pathways and roads, radiant heating systems are used in many new buildings in the GTA. Cold climates can benefit from the system.
For heating road surfaces in Toronto, the electric current is unrivaled for defrosting. The Electric Heated Driveway has a considerably simpler design and a faster heating response than liquid-carrying systems.
Hydronic HeatWay (Floor heating) pipes make up the driveway heating system. There is antifreeze liquid in the pipes (water-glycol mixture). When the outside air reaches a specific temperature or humidity level, the sensor, which also serves as a weather forecaster, turns on the system.
Solar Heated Driveway system is one of the radiant heating systems. This system is used in both electric and hydronic systems. In a hydronic system, solar panels are used to supply energy for a boiler. The water or solution of the system is heated through pipes in the boiler. In an electrical system, the solar panels provide the electricity used to heat the driveway.
Geothermal Heated Driveway systems use a network of interconnected pipes placed underground as heat exchangers. In winter, when the weather is cold but the ground is warm, the refrigerant inside these coils absorbs the heat from the environment and uses it for heating the driveway.
Controlling system
Heated Driveway systems can be operated manually or automatically. Automatic controllers use sensors to activate the heating element and determine when to switch it off. The user does not need to be nearby to start the controllers. The sensors measure air temperature and moisture. When they detect the presence of water at near-freezing air temperatures, the system will automatically raise the temperature of the concrete surface to approximately 45 F. The system will stop when the rain stops falling or the temperature increases. The user can manually operate the system with a switch.
Functionality & Installation
The components of snow melting systems, especially the power supply and controllers, are installed by our experts, such as plumbers (for a hydronic system), electricians, or HVAC contractors. The final concreting is done carefully.
We test both electrical and hydronic systems before and during concreting. We do this to ensure that the heating elements are not damaged during installation.
