This doesn&rsquo;t mean your heat cables are always on. The&nbsp;<a title=\"ClearZone heated driveways\" href=\"\/snow-melting\/clearzone\/\">radiant heated driveway<\/a> uses sensors to detect temperatures and amounts of snowfall and activate the radiant heating system, only when needed. This means that you&rsquo;ll cut down on energy costs and eliminate the need for snowmelt chemicals or rock salt.<\/p>\n<p>Radiant heated driveways communicate with the <a title=\"Aerial mount snow sensors\" href=\"\/snow-melting\/aerial-snow-sensor\/\">snow sensor<\/a> that is programmed to activate the system when needed (usually when it detects precipitation and temperatures are below 39&deg;Fahrenheit). The sensor signals the controller (typically installed on the wall in the garage) when conditions warrant and the controller then sends power to the heat cables to heat the driveway as the first snowflake hits. Afterwards, the system shuts off.<\/p>\n<p>The driveway heating system also features manual override capability, so you can melt snowdrifts or ice that may have formed in a shady <span class=\"glossaryLink\"  aria-describedby=\"tt\"  data-cmtooltip=\"cmtt_a9b22457fd36343dd6f04bedb1d170d1\"  data-gt-translate-attributes='[{\"attribute\":\"data-cmtooltip\", \"format\":\"html\"}]'  tabindex='0' role='link'>area<\/span>.
