Snow Melting – A Cost Effective Winter Solution in Chicago

Situated on Lake Michigan in Illinois, Chicago is among the largest cities in the U.S. Renowned for its bold architecture, its expansive skyline welcomes visitors with skyscrapers such as the iconic John Hancock Center. The city’s lakefront is host to many residents as well as visitors during the warm summer days with its many beaches and harbors. However, when those summer days turn to fall and then winter, Chicago is also well known for its cold winter weather. 

Winters onslaught brings unwelcome icy, snow-covered walkways and driveways but there is a convenient solution. A snow melting system from WarmlyYours can take the sting out of winter by saving you from dealing with the snow removal and any expensive de-icing chemicals, while it ensures that your home is safe for visiting family and friends. 

Snow Melting System Offers a Safe Landing 

For full accessibility to your home during adverse winter conditions, consider installing a WarmlyYours snow melting cable system. Designed to install directly in concrete, asphalt, or in mortar beneath pavers, our cable snow melting systems ensure that the driveway, patio, walkway, ramp, landing or stairs stays both ice and snow free, allowing for safe passage. This cable snow melting system was installed on a landing. See floor plan below. 

In this instance, the cost was $1370.00 for a WarmlyYours snow melting cable system to heat 234 square feet of landing. That amounts to just $7.62 per square foot. In addition, you can choose from among many snow melting control options to operate the system. 

Controls Designed to Fit Your Individual Lifestyle

There are a wide variety of snow melting controls to suit any budget and lifestyle from manual and economy to advanced and premium.

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. 

To minimize operating costs, another option is the Advanced Snow Melting Control with automatic and manual override operator controls.
