Cheyenne is the capital and most populous city in Wyoming. Situated on Crow Creek and Dry Creek, Cheyenne lies at the northern boundary of the extensive and fast-growing Front Range Urban Corridor that stretches from Cheyenne to Pueblo, Colorado. Winters are cold and moderately long and snowfall is greatest in March and April, seasonally averaging 60 inches. Regardless of the amount of snow, cold weather can bring ice resulting in slippery surfaces. An effective way to extend your outdoor entertaining season is by adding a snow melting system when installing or replacing a patio or porch. Further, you can ensure that your family and guests can safely access your home with snow melting for driveways and walkways.
Enjoy Your Porch Longer by Adding Outdoor Heating Underneath
When these Cheyenne homeowners were adding a porch they both recalled hearing the virtues of outdoor radiant heat on one of the home improvement shows. After doing some research on their own, they decided it was just what they needed to keep the porch ice and snow free through the winter season. They chose a WarmlyYours system with snow melting mats as it was easy to install and would work well under the pavers they had selected for their new porch. Each quote comes with a free no-obligation installation plan, as detailed below.
To heat 150 square feet of the porch, the cost for the snow melting mat was $1560.00 or $10.40 per square foot. Even better, the operating cost was very low at only 76 cents per hour to run the snow melting system based on the 10.16 cents per KWh cost in Cheyenne. Next, it was time to decide what control to use for their system that would best meet their needs and budget.
Snow Melting Controls Offer Variety of Choices
There are a wide array of snow melting controls to suit any budget needs and lifestyle preferences from manual and economy to advanced and premium. One simple, affordable option is the WarmlyYours manual snow and ice melting control. UL Listed at 120 VAC operational voltage, this unit features a 12-hour, adjustable timer and a NEMA 1 enclosure with hinged cover that is suitable for use with relay panels.
The option chosen by these Cheyenne homeowners was the advanced snow melting control with automatic and manual override operator controls to minimize operating costs. This advanced control includes an adjustable hold-on timer to continue heater operation up to 8 hours after snow and ice accumulation stop to ensure complete melting.
