We design snow-melt radiant heating for Ontario — powered by electricity and heat pumps.
We're THE Toronto experts for snow-melt radiant heating boilers using alternative energy, and an authoritative resource on this technology across all of Ontario.
What it is
Snow-melt radiant heating keeps driveways, walks, and steps snow- and ice-free using embedded heating — no shovelling, no sand, no salt. In Ontario, the modern, efficient way to power it is alternative energy: electricity and air- or ground-source heat pumps, instead of locking into fossil fuel.
Why it beats gas for this use-case
A snow-melt system runs only when triggered by precip and cold. An electric + heat-pump design can be far more efficient and future-proof than a gas boiler, aligns with Ontario's electrification direction, and avoids gas-line and combustion complexity. We're objective — but we own the electric + heat-pump expertise.
Heat pump + electric integration
The highest-performance Ontario snow-melt systems pair a cold-climate heat pump with electric backup for the coldest snaps. We handle the load math, loop strategy, controls, and backup planning.
System sizing & spec
ASHRAE-grade inputs: kW density, pump and loop strategy, load control, electricity draw, and air/ground-source options. The deliverable is a decision framework you can act on.
Typical costs & honest payback
We give honest ranges, not fantasy. A properly designed electric/heat-pump snow-melt system costs more upfront than cable — we lay out the real operating-cost and payback picture for your specific driveway, climate, and energy rates.
Common mistakes by non-specialists
Undersized loops, wrong heat-source, no backup, poor EU controls. We've seen the repeated contractor errors — and how to avoid them.
