Heated Sidewalk And Walkways Services

No more slippery sidewalks and walkways in Toronto.

HeatedWay is on the way to your home.

How do Heated Sidewalks work?

In the Heated Sidewalk system, the snow and ice melt by using the Radiant heating system. Then the run-off created is discharged from the sidewalk surface. As a result, the sidewalks will be free of ice and snow.

Technologies

HeatWay Company uses a radiant heating system in the Heated Sidewalk in Toronto. The Radiant heating system technology is an idea taken from nature. For this reason, this heating system is very economical and low consumption. According to your needs and demands, hydronic snow melting systems or electric snow melting systems are applicable for heating the sidewalks.

Heated Sidewalk installation

Hydronic Heated Sidewalk

In the hydronic heating system, we use special pipes and a heat source. Also, we use water or water mixed with antifreeze as the fluid inside the pipes. The fluid moves inside a closed path of pipes and is heated by a heat source such as a boiler.

Benefits

  • One of the main advantages of the Hydronic Heated Sidewalk system is its economic efficiency. It encouraged many people in GTA to use the heated hydronic driveway and heated sidewalk system.
  • In a Hydronic Heated Sidewalk system, the heat is spread evenly on the sidewalk surface, and the snow on the ground melts completely.
  • Using this heating system in automatic mode will make the system turn on when needed, and your sidewalks will no longer be slippery.
  • Due to the high heat transfer of water, less electricity is required to start and maintain the heating function of boilers.

Electric Heated Sidewalk

In the electric heating system, we use a type of thermal-electrical cable (a special element). The thermal cables are connected to a power source.

To install this system, we first place a network of thermal cables under the sidewalk surface. After that, we cover the cables with cement. In the end, we pave the sidewalks.

Benefits

  • In an Electric Heated Sidewalk system, everything is completely electric and automatic.
  • The installation and operation of the electric heating system are easier than the hydronic heating system. Electric circuits that can radiate heat are used instead of pipes in this system.
  • The heating power of this system is very high.

Sidewalk controllers

We use the ambient temperature controller to adjust the temperature of the Radiant heated driveway system and the Heated Sidewalk system. Using controllers optimizes energy consumption.

Temperature adjustment of the Heated sidewalk system is made by two systems:

  • Manual control system
  • Smart control system

The cost of a Heated Sidewalk system

The installation of a Heated Sidewalk system is much different from the installation of other heating systems. For this reason, it is not possible to accurately estimate the costs. The cost of setting up a Heated Sidewalk system is influenced by the required materials, the contractor’s salary, and other things.
This heating system has a long lifespan. Also, this system increases the lifespan of the sidewalk tiles due to not using chemicals for snow melting or tools for shovelling. This will save you money and peace of mind.
