The method automatically responds to temperature drop and moisture, and as boiling water flows through the pipes, the heat melts away snow and ice
In Glenview, IL, the cold, wind and snow are a problem for more than half the year. We see temperatures well below zero and the wind chill makes it downright dangerous to spend much time outdoors… It snows nearly every day for months, with several inches to several feet of accumulation. It’s necessary to clear the walkways and driveways at least once per day. Occasionally we’re forced to handle snow removal in the morning before work and again when the two of us arrive home, shoveling snow is a horrible job. It’s labor-intensive, time-consuming and the weather conditions are brutal, but the piles of snow become so big that they create additional issues, often blocking the garage or mailbox. I am unquestionably blessed that our own in Glenview is equipped with a boiler gas furnace. The boiler heats up water and sends it through a series of pipes that are concealed beneath the floor. The heat spreads evenly from corner to corner, rises unquestionably slowly and provides a gentle and consistent comfort. The boiler is able to handle the most dire weather and keep the home warm and cozy, but plus, our boiler is linked to a snowmelt system, just like inside the home, the two of us have a network of pipes installed beneath the stone of the front steps, walkways, driveway and garage floor. The method automatically responds to temperature drop and moisture, and as boiling water flows through the pipes, the heat melts away snow and ice. It eliminates the need to shovel or plow. It avoids issues over harmful snowmelt chemicals and potentially slipping and falling due to icy surfaces.
