How do Warmzone radiant snow melting solutions work to preserve the environment surrounding your home? Electric snowmelt systems utilize durable, highly efficient cable that distributes heat evenly across the surface of your driveway or sidewalk. The cable is rugged enough to be installed in new concrete pours, under pavers and even in harsh, high-temperature new asphalt construction projects, alleviating the need for shovels, snow removal services and snow melting chemicals—all of which can have devastating affects on the exterior of your home, from your lawn to your exterior landscaping. Warmzone ClearZone heating cable is the most popular driveway snow melting cable and features efficient, maintenance free operation and a 10-year manufacturer warranty.

Of course, no single radiant heating system is perfect for every type of job. What makes Warmzone more attractive than those “other” radiant heat providers? It’s their ability to match you with the best product for your project at the best price. Warmzone doesn’t partner with just one manufacturer. They carry a variety of top radiant heat solutions for just about any application, allowing them to deliver sincere, non-biased recommendations that best suit your project requirements. Warmzone’s experienced staff is well-versed in each and every one of the products available, and can get you matched up with the best product at a price you can live with.

From heated driveways, heated steps, portable snow melting, heated sidewalks, and heated roofs to gutter and downspout heating solutions, Warmzone’s definitely got you covered; and all these systems can easily be customized:

Radiant heated driveways: Warmzone’s ClearZone snow melting system can heat almost any size, shape and type of driveway. By the spool or with the help of pre-configured mats, ClearZone electric radiant heating cable can be installed under just about any surface (asphalt, pavers or a fresh concrete pour). Driveways can even be retrofitted with a ClearZone snow melting system.

Radiant roof heating and gutter trace systems: These best-in-class radiant heat systems prevent hazardous ice dams and icicles from forming on your roof. They eliminate prolonged ice damming and the severe effects of seepage through roof decking that can work its way inside your home, damaging ceilings, walls and floors, resulting in mold growth.

Portable snow melting: WarmTrax portable snow melting solutions, including portable heated traction mats and stair treads, are a great alternative to the permanency of embedded snow melting systems for heating outdoor walkways, ramps and stairs. Made of electrically operated heating elements sandwiched between two protective surfaces of non-slip rubber, WarmTrax heated traction mats are a popular, affordable and very versatile snow melting solution that serve a wide variety of uses.

Many of these snow melting products (and projects) are perfect for first-time do-it-yourselfers. If you’re ambitious enough to take on the project, Warmzone is right there to back you up.

You’ll know the electrical requirements, technical specifications and system performance expectations before one foot of heat cable is installed. You get all the details with minimal installation surprises to save you time, money, and in the end, the heartache of a radiant heat project gone wrong.

Heated driveway with brick pavers

It’s because of this flexibility—in the products, services and ongoing support Warmzone delivers—that gives them the edge in delivering superior radiant heat solutions for heated driveways, walkways, and roof deicing. Warmzone systems can be customized to meet the needs of virtually any area that requires snow and ice removal or ground thawing—for residential customers and contractors alike. And Warmzone’s reach extends throughout Northern America. Dennis S., a Warmzone customer in Calgary said this in regards to the performance of his electric radiant heated driveway, “This past weekend, we received over four inches of snow and temperatures of 15 degrees C – that’s like Green Bay cold.” Despite the ferociously cold temperatures, according to this happy customer, “the heated driveway did its job.” The driveway has also attracted a lot of attention. “A lot of folks in our neighborhood stop by on their walks and have conversations about my driveway, or ask questions if I am outside.”

Dennis is just one of many satisfied Warmzone customers able to realize the benefits of a radiant heated driveway. The biggest, of course, is the benefit of not having to worry about snow removal. No more back-breaking shoveling or wallet-breaking checks to the snow removal service. Because, after all, when you can operate the system for just pennies on the dollar without any effort at all, it just makes plain dollars and cents to install a radiant heated driveway. And what about those curious neighbors Dennis describes? It’s actually quite a boon to him if you think about the positive effects such talk might have on his home’s equity. In a word, radiant heat is an incredibly practical way to boost the equity in your home, while making your life easier. And the word is definitely getting around.

It Won’t Break the Bank, or my Back (Shoveling)

Location: Calgary, Canada

Solution: ClearZone Heated Driveway

Heated tire tracks in driveway

This past weekend, we received over four inches of snow and temps -15 degrees C . . . That’s like Green Bay cold!

Anyway, as you can see, the heated driveway is doing its job. Just a week ago, my electrician installed the correct type of wire for the CDP 2 so everything is functional now. A lot of folks in our neighborhood stop by on their walks and have conversations about my driveway, or ask questions if I am outside.

I know that some think this would be extremely expensive to operate, but last month, with Christmas lights on every night, I saw only a $150 increase in my electrical bill. Also, we only have 2 or 3 months of significant snow in Calgary so it won’t break the bank, or my back (shoveling) and delivery people don’t have to crawl up the slope in fear of slipping!

Have a great day.

I Feel That Your Company is one of the Best for Customer Service

Location: Maine

Solution: ComfortTile Floor Heating System

I would like to express my gratitude towards your organization. First of all my name is Rick M., and I live in Maine. I was doing a kitchen floor remodel and living room floor remodel. My wife and I decided to pull up carpet in living room and tile the kitchen. I decided that from talking to others who have done the same, that they experienced cold floors in winter months. I decided to research “radiant heat“. I was at our local Home Depot store and they were all set in selling me their product. I decided to research out electric radiant floor heating on the internet.

Thanks to the Internet I found places that gave me a lot of info.. However, as I filled out your questionnaire at “Warmzone” I was pleasantly surprised at the response I got from Matt. He was extremely pleasant to deal with was extremely knowledgeable of your product, and if he did not know the answer he said so and got the answer I needed. After the purchase of your products (ComfortTile heat cable for under tiles), I started my homeowner installation. I am very handy with my construction abilities. However, I never put in a radiant heat system. In short, Matt was able to answer any questions I had come up with (and they were numerous) and keep me rolling along.

Not only was Matt very helpful and knowledgeable about the installation but when I had electrical question about the programmable thermostat, Matt had hooked me up with Dan. Dan effortlessly had me program my thermostat and was working like a charm. My hat goes out to all at Warmzone for your great product and customer service. I feel that your company is one of the best for customer service!!! Thank you Warmzone for the great service.

It’s Nice to Walk on a Warm Floor During a Cold Day

Solution: Hydronic Heated Floors

The hydronic heated floors are working well. It is nice to walk on a warm floor on a cold day. We installed the tubing ourselves. Laying the tubing is a fairly easy task for the do-it-yourself person. I would recommend covering the tubing with 1½-inches of gypcrete. It is nice being able to set the thermostats a few degrees lower than our old forced air system and have the house feel just as warm.

All the people at Warmzone were very helpful and knowledgeable and gave us all the time we needed answering our questions we had using the thermostats. We will definitely call Warmzone when we are ready to finish our basement.

Thanks for all your help. We hope all of you and your families have a happy holiday season.

The Job was Simple to Install

Location: Idaho

Solution: ClearZone Snowmelt System

Thanks for supplying my customer with exactly what they needed. Living in multiple locations, the weather-censored concrete heating system you offer was the perfect match for my Boise, Idaho homeowners. Being new to this type of installation, I expected things to be a little more complicated. A few phone calls after receiving the product within days made the job simple to install.

I would have to say that customer service with your company was by far second to none. I look forward to doing business with you in the future and referring you on to homeowners with snow melting needs.

A sincere thank you,

Cody D. – Owner, Perfection Construction

I am Happy With my New Warm Floor

Solution: RetroHeat Floor Heating System

I wanted to let you know how happy I am with my new warm floor.

I finally persuaded my handy man to brave the depths of the crawl space under the kitchen floor of our old house. He then installed your RetroHeat system without too much difficulty. Despite having to penetrate a plywood sub-floor and Mexican tile, the floor is now lovely and warm.

It’s a constant happy surprise to put a bare foot onto a tile floor in the depths of winter and feel . . . warmth!

Many thanks,

You Made me Feel Very Comfortable

Solution: ComfortTile Floor Heating System

Floor heating mats being installed

You took me patiently through the layout process and designed my plans according to my home plans. You made me feel very comfortable and came close to the $$ range that I wanted to spend (I didn’t mind spending a little more for what I believed to be a better product….and you helped a lot with that). Shipping and after-sale support were also excellent.

With kind regards,
