By dealing only with an established company that offers professional design and engineering services as well as expert installation support, you'll be sure to have an energy efficient system that meets or exceeds your expectations.

The leading radiant heat solution providers include design services with the price of the snow melting system, so keep this in mind as you're comparing prices. Having a detailed layout of the system will ensure that you'll know the proper layout and materials, load calculations, breaker sizes, number of breakers, and system performance expectations of the system prior to any installation taking place. Your system layout will also show you the precise location of the components (i.e., sensor and controller) so you can install the system with confidence, knowing that it has been designed to be the most effective and efficient snow melting solution possible. The valuable design service minimizes any "installation surprises" that you may otherwise encounter, which ultimately saves you time and money in the long run. So if you're shopping around and evaluating your radiant heat options, make sure you not only compare prices and products, but design and installation support services as well. This will help to eliminate many of the "pretenders" who claim to have all the radiant heat solutions you need.

Because there are so many variables involved with heated driveways and radiant snow melting systems, professional system design and engineering are vital to ensure that the radiant heat system being installed will operate safely, efficiently and at peak performance.
