While every snow melting system can be tailored for each unique installation, some common layout options include:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Heat the most trafficked areas<\/strong> &ndash; Rather than heating the entire driveway, some owners choose to heat only the areas that receive the most traffic. An 8-foot strip in the middle of the driveway or a 2-foot strip down the middle of a sidewalk may be all that the customer needs\/wants. This still allows clear access for vehicles and\/or pedestrian traffic, but brings down the installation cost as well as operational costs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Heated tire tracks<\/strong> &ndash; Another affordable option (that also requires considerably less power) is to heat two 24-inch wide tire tracks.
