LOW VOLTAGE - SNOW MELTING
The BenefitsSnow Melting OptionsHow It WorksThe InstallationProjects / Applications
The Installation

Low-voltage cable is installed in concrete or asphalt driveways, ramps, steps, and walkways. This product can be incorporated into small or large residential and commercial projects easily, cost effectively, and virtually maintenance free.

Snow Melting Retrofit Application
Snow Melting Retrofit Installtion
This cable can be retrofit (installed into previously poured cement) for melting snow and ice. Grooves are saw cut into concrete, and sealant is used to protect and secure the installed cable. It can also be used for space heating and floor warming.

  


Installation of Components
The Control Unit is hung between two wall studs and is mounted to the backplate, which is included in the rough-in kit. (See the How It Works section.) Cold lead is then attached to the transformer, which is inside the control box, and run to the start of the cable. The cold lead is then spliced to the cable.

The Low-Voltage Cable is spaced at 4 inches across the area to be heated. For a new pour concrete application, the cable is secured to the remesh and raised, if necessary, to be within 2 inches of the surface. When retrofitting the cable into concrete or asphalt, 1/4-inch wide by 1-inch deep grooves are saw cut into the existing surface. The cable is then laid in the grooves, after which backerod is used to fill in the space between the cable and the surface. The surface is then sealed with concrete or asphalt sealants.

The installation of our radiant snow melting systems is fairly easy compared to other radiant heating systems. Any electrician should not have any trouble installing the system. A contractor could install the system and then have an electrician hook up the power. Technical support is available 5 days a week, and the installation manual, and system diagrams are available online.
