Snowmelt 101

Here are some basic tips to make sure your systems have 'the white stuff.'

There are many good reasons why your customers may be interested in hydronic snowmelting systems.

First of all, snowmelt systems

eliminate the need to have someone shovel and salt walkways and driveways.

Secondly, they reduce the chances of a slip and an injury (and, possibly, a lawsuit) by an employee or customer.

Finally, there's aesthetics. Many of our bank and office building customers like snowmelt systems because of the clean, professional image it brings to the exteriors of their buildings. In addition, we recently installed a large snowmelt system for a local Harley-Davidson dealership. It can be tough to sell motorcycles in Michigan in January, and the snowmelt system helps create an illusion of nice, summer weather. Snow and slush underfoot doesn't exactly put motorcycle shoppers in the buying mood!
