Heated Driveway Muskoka

Types of Heated Driveways We Offer

Electric Driveway Heating

Electric systems place heating cables or mats beneath the finished surface and connect to a thermostat and sensors for automatic activation. For many Muskoka homes and cottages with compact to mid-sized driveways, they're a smart, budget-forward choice: quick to install, predictable to operate, and only active when weather sensors call for heat.

Hydronic Driveway Heating

Hydronic designs circulate a warmed glycol solution through tubing embedded below the driveway. A boiler or heat pump supplies the heat, while moisture/temperature sensors trigger the system during storms or freeze events. On larger or irregular layouts common around Muskoka's lakes, hydronic systems distribute heat evenly and scale efficiently. Typical installation ranges $43.75 - $60 per sq ft, with operating costs near $0.10 per hour per 100 sq ft.
