Heated Driveway Installation Aurora

Types of Heated Driveways We Offer in Aurora

Electric Driveway Heating

Electric heating driveway systems utilize electric cables or mats that are installed beneath pavers or asphalt. These components are connected to a thermostat, which controls temperature and timing. These systems need to be connected to a power source. Known for their reliability, ease of installation, and energy efficiency, they are well-suited for smaller to medium-sized driveways. Additionally, they offer lower upfront and operating costs for smaller surfaces.

Hydronic Driveway Heating

A hydronic driveway heating system utilizes flexible tubing laid beneath the surface of the driveway. This tubing contains glycol, acting as an antifreeze agent. By circulating this glycol through a boiler or heat pump, heat is transferred to the driveway, effectively melting snow and ice. The system's thermostat can be programmed to activate automatically based on driveway sensors.

Compared to electric heated driveway systems, hydronic heated driveway systems are more powerful, adaptable, and eco-friendly. They are particularly suitable for large or irregularly shaped driveways. Hydronic systems offer significant cost savings for larger projects, with initial costs fixed and increasing incrementally with driveway size. This scalability makes them a budget-friendly option as driveway size increases.
