Q: What are the operational costs of your snow melting systems?
A: The average operational cost for a snow melting system is approximately $0.28 per 100 square
feet per hour. This
figure is based on a system producing 35 watts/sq. ft. with a kwh rate of $0.08
per hour (the national average kwh is $.08/hour). If you know the square feet of the
area you
want to heat and your kwh rate, you can calculate the operational costs with this formula:
heatable sq. ft. times watts/sq. ft., divided by 1000, times your kwh rate.
Q: What are the power requirements for your snow melting systems?
A: On average, a 240 V. 30 amp breaker is required for every 175 square feet you are snow
melting.
Q: Are your snow melting systems manually or automatically activated?
A: Danfoss snow melting systems come standard with an aerial-mounted, automatic snow switch
and a 4-hour manual timer. The system automatically turns on when the temperature is below 38°
and there is moisture on the sensor. Pavement-mounted snow switches are available.
Q: In what types of surfaces can your systems be installed?
A: Danfoss snow melting systems can be installed in almost any surface, including concrete,
stamped
concrete, asphalt, and under pavers.
Q: Can the cables be cut or spliced together?
A: Danfoss snow melting systems come with the cold leads pre-spliced and should never be cut
or spliced together. If you have questions during installation please consult the installation manual
or contact us for assistance.
Q: Can the cold leads be cut or spliced together?
A: Cold leads can be trimmed if there is excess cable, but they should never be spliced to other cold
leads or cable.
Q: Does Warmzone provide detailed layouts for purchased systems?
A: Warmzone provides detailed layouts for systems at the price of $0.35 per square foot for most
snow melting systems.
