What type of surface you want, Asphalt Cement Pavers or Tar & Chip, once you know what surface your looking for then you just need to know which surfaces you want clear of all snow and ice.
- What questions should a customer ask before hiring a professional in your trade?
Importantly one should ask about prior work, the customer should ask if the company is a turnkey company, are they insured and most importantly is the company factory authorized.
- What services do you provide your customers after the work has finished?
Once the project has reached the completion point we turn over copies of the factory warranty paperwork.
- What would you recommend customers looking to save money?
To save money we recommend using a factory authorized installer. What ever company you use it does not matter you need 37 watts minimum per square feet to melt snow or ice, so you need the same amount of radiant cable no matter what company installs it. So that means the materials cost the same no matter what, then it comes down to labor and installation methods and there is no better installation method better than a factory authorized installer.

There truly is no standard job, whether it is a 750' long driveway, a blue stone walkway or a 400' square foot balcony we get them all. nnn

We are a turnkey company. We can prepare the drawing, submit all plans and permit application. We handle the radiant heating, asphalt, electrical and any masonry if required.
We also take care of the permits, in-house designing and upgrading of electrical service if required.
- What do you wish customers knew about your profession or trade?
A radiant heated driveway, radiant heated walkway, radiant heated sidewalk is installed obviously under ground. Install it once and have it for decades to come...
- What are the most frequent questions you get from customers? What are the answers?
How much will it cost to run the system? The average system for the average 600 square foot 3-5 car driveway costs $1.00 per 300 square feet in KW costs form the electric company so a 600 square foot driveway would cost $2.00 to run per hour. So an average 6 hour storm time $2.00 would be about $12.00 to melt all the snow and ice where installed.
