Description

When you are designing a driveway made of pavers, asphalt, or concrete and you want it heated, WarmlyYours has the snow melting solution for you. We all know how disappointing it is to watch the snow fall every winter, knowing that it’s only a matter of time before we have to bundle up and head outside to shovel the walkways and salt the stairs. Instead, imagine relaxing by the fireplace in the comfort of your home on a snowy winter day. With WarmlyYours snow melting systems, you can do just that. 

When you install a snow melting cable system from WarmlyYours, you’ll enjoy not having to shovel your driveway all winter. Since the asphalt, concrete or paver surface, absorbs the heat from the snow-melting heating element underneath, the snow and ice melt without an effort from you. Our systems are available with a variety of different control options (sold separately) so that you can find the right control for your system based on your needs.

We’re sure you’ll love your heated driveway, and our cable heating systems come with a ten year warranty, so you can be comfortable knowing they’ll stand the test of time. WarmlyYours cable heating systems are designed for maximum flexibility and generate 12 watts per linear foot.

Whichever you choose, you can install the systems underneath asphalt, concrete, or in mortar under pavers, so you can have the driveway you’ve always dreamed of no matter what look you’re going for.

Customer Questions & Answers

Snow Melt Cables has 43 Questions and Answers.

Don't see the answer you're looking for? Post your question

How quickly do these systems melt the snow?

That depends on a number of variables (like the temperature outside) but generally speaking these snow melting systems are designed to melt 1" - 3" of snow per hour. Anything above 3" per hour is typically considered blizzard conditions.

Is it okay to cut the snow melting cable if it is too long for the application for which it was designed?

Never cut the heating cable. A heating cable will not work if it has been cut. If the heating cable is too long, call WarmlyYours to consult with a technician who will guide you in utilizing the additional length of cable.

How does the electric snow melting system compare to hot water tubing (hydronic) systems?

The material costs are similar. However, electric systems are easier to install, with fewer components and significantly lower maintenance costs. Electric systems will run for a shorter period of time to give the same level of performance but with much higher energy efficiency (typically 95%-98% efficient). Controls and sensors required for the two types of systems are very similar. Electric systems do not usually require slab insulation and do not create the concerns typically associated with hydronic systems. These concerns include, but are not limited to, return temperatures, flue gas venting, waterway shrinkage and property damage caused by leaking pipes or tubes.

May I cross or overlap the WarmlyYours snow melt heating cable?

When installing outdoor WarmlyYours snow melting cables for your driveway, patio, walkway, terrace, stairs, ramp, etc. - NEVER cross, overlap, or allow the heating cables to touch each other. Doing so will quickly cause a circuit failure due to excessive heat build up. Always follow the installation instructions and/or design layout plan to ensure the cable is installed with the correct spacing required for proper operation.

Does the factory splice need to be completely embedded during installation?

Yes. The manufacturer's splice that connects the heating element to the cold lead should be entirely embedded in a noncombustible material (like asphalt, concrete, or mortar) within the outdoor surface that is being heated.

Best service ever!

Marc C., Salt Lake City, UT on 10/19/2023

Mary was fantastic at listening and helping me find the best solution to melt ice and snow on my exterior stairs. Mary was kind and patient as this had many challenges and Mary worked through them all like a champ. We love our new system and love not shoveling.

Heating. Wire for driveway.

Vincent S., Wasaga Beach, ON on 06/07/2023

Easy to install, mostly because I have pavers on the driveway Your wiring looks very durable. My only concern is the exsesiers are very expensive. I had to look elsewhere for snow detectors for the unit. Otherwise I think your products are great.

Fantastic, knowledgeable, customer service

Jay R., Damascus, MD on 06/03/2023

Always a great experience with WarmlyYours. Efficient effective technology helps us with melting walkways and driveways as well as warming my feet in the bathroom etc.

Must have this if you live in a snowy region

Anonymous, Colorado Springs, CO on 01/03/2023

Works great! No more salt or shoveling!

No ice in front of the garage doors for the first time in years!

Anonymous, Leawood, KS on 05/06/2022

Our snow melting system was installed this fall and for the first time in years we did not have ice in front of the garage doors for weeks in the winter. The WarmlyYours staff were great to work with and answered our many questions with patience and knowledge.

Learning Curve

Scott R., Omaha, NE on 02/01/2022

There is definitely a learning curve but after that it was great to see the finished product working. Customer was extremely happy.

Your online and telephone support system is the greatest!

Bonnie P., Sterling, AK on 10/17/2021

We just finished laying in the wire and poured our cement, just a day before it started snowing-so we are curing the cement as I type. The men are now hooking up the electrical inside portions. The instructions have been so easy to follow step by step. I wanted to let you know it was so easy, I decided to do the one side of my garage with both systems to have a longer driveway of warmth/snow melt...because it was so cost effective that our family man-power did the labor. I plan on contacting you next Spring after the thaw to order up more wire, etc to do the smaller 14 foot section, which will be turned into a bedroom with a big front window I hope to enjoy looking out during the winter, instead of looking at by past 6 foot snow falling off my roof and building a wall I can't see through. I will send the end result after the electrical is finished plus a photo. :):)

Will have to wait and see!

Cwhr R., Morrison, CO on 06/18/2021

Only the wire is installed in the new walk. I will not be able to give a full review till next winter.

Just as advertised!

Cory W., Sidney, MT on 02/15/2021

We have only had the chance to use it during the last storm~not complaining about that at all. The heated sidewalk worked just as it had been represented. Melted the snow enough to make it easy to remove & when it froze later, turning the heat on for a few hours took care of it. Very happy with this purchase.
