Clear the Way With a Radiant Snow Melting System We are in the
thick of snow season and I know each of us have other
things we prefer to shoveling snow. You are aware
aren’t you that you don’t really need to
be shoveling that snow? Electric heated driveways are
not just a fantasy any more. They are the ticket to easy
snow removal. Snow melting systems are a convenience
that will over time become more of a necessity as we
realize how functional and affordable they are. Radiant snow melting systems consist of a wiring system installed within the surface of the driveway or sidewalk. A sensor will automatically signal the control unit which actives the system when conditions for snow are present. The surface is heated and the snow is gone. Your driveway is now a “snow-free zone”. How much more convenient can it get than arriving at home with a snow free driveway? Seeing the snow on your neighbor’s driveway may remind you of the days when you had to shovel, but chances are, you won’t really miss those times. But be a good friend and tell your neighbor that radiant snow melting systems can also be installed in existing surfaces. He’ll certainly thank you for it. |
Just as microwave ovens used to be a luxury,
heated driveways may be such right now but that will
change. Oops, did I go back too far? Yes, believe it
or not microwave ovens have not always been around. I
remember the days, oh I digress. 
Floor Warming Mats Keep Floor Surfaces Perfect for Naked ToesIf you are anything like my mom, you loathe the thought of winter when you have to slip back into socks and shoes to endure the extreme cold. She is a bare foot lover and would walk inside and out with nothing covering her feet year round if she could. She doesn’t like to be tied down to the constraints of socks. “Let those toes breathe!” she would shout as the snow fell. But sadly, she has to don thick socks once in awhile to keep her toes intact and her feet happy. One method of helping those toes breathe is to choose to heat your home from the floor up.

Warmzone floor heating systems feature perfected the technology allowing radiant heat to work for you. They also keep your floors warm year round, allowing you to enjoy the freedom of a sock-less world if you so choose. My mom rejoices every time she steps bare footed across her radiant heated floors.

With the assistance of floor warming mats placed seamlessly beneath your floors you’ll never have that sensation again. Warmzone warming mats can be installed under your existing flooring and are extremely popular in bathrooms. It seems these rooms across America suffer most with cold floors and we are especially prone to want a warm floor after stepping out from a shower or warm bath. So, if the thought of remodeling your entire home overwhelms you, start there and feel the wonderful warmth that radiant floor heating has to offer. And while you are at it, start to toss those thick socks and make room in your life for the affordable luxury of heated floors in your home. |
In-floor heating systems keep floor surfaces at
an ideal temperature to strut your naked toes around
the house. Warming a floor using radiant floor
heating is the most efficient way to heat your home.
The Battle You’re Sure to Never LoseSpring is just around the corner, and with it comes warmer weather. While we’d all like to see the sun again, we don’t want those pesky ice dams to form on our roofs that can quickly turn a delightful spring into an expensive season of our discontent. Fortunately for all of us, radiant roof heat is here to keep our upcoming months pleasant and ice-dam-disaster free.
Ice dams occur when warmer weather or interior heat warms the heavy snowfall on your roof, leaving a pool of water under the feet of snow that quickly accumulates and starts leaking into your home. Besides causing catastrophic water damage, these ice dams can also destroy your gutters, promote toxic mold growth, and potentially cause structural damage that’s sure to leave you with a headache. With so much on the line, it only makes sense to install a radiant roof heating system. Radiant roof heat is the best way to stay ahead in the battle against ice dams. Warmzone offers a variety of roof heating solutions that are sure to keep your home safe from structural damage and your family safe from dangerous icicles. You can experience the benefits of a radiant roof heating system no matter what type of home you have—new or old. Additionally, our team will work with you to create a roof heating solution that’s catered specifically to you. Don’t wait for the dam to break—install a radiant roof heating system now before it’s too late! |
Ice
dams are a common problem that often lead to
catastrophic solutions. The good news, however, is that
radiant roof heating systems are an easy and
affordable option to prevent ice dams before they even
start.
Kiss the Dust and Allergens Goodbye and say Hello to Clean, Efficient HeatIt may still be blustery outside, but spring is just around the corner, and you know what that means—spring cleaning! Of course, keeping your home warm and dust free might be difficult if you’ve still got an old forced air heating system, so what better time than now to make the switch to electric radiant floor heat?
Radiant floor heating systems are a whole new echelon of home heating that leaves forced air heating in the dust. Radiant floor heat is the most effective way to heat your home. Rather than heating the air in the room, like forced air heating, radiant floor heating systems heat the floor and the surrounding objects, creating a perfectly even, perfectly luxurious heat. Additionally, heated floors take a lot less time than forced air heaters to heat your home, saving you money and also the environment’s resources. So this year as you start your annual spring cleaning duties, don’t settle for the dusty old forced air heater. Say goodbye to allergen issues and carbon monoxide scares once and for all and make the switch to radiant floor heating. Once you experience the unparalleled warmth, comfort, and affordability of heated floors, you’ll never go back. |
Forced
air heating systems do just that—force air, but
more often than not, a slew of allergens come out with it,
including harmful dust and pollen. Additionally,
forced air heating systems aren’t exactly safe.
Carbon monoxide leaks and fires are always on the minds of
those with forced air heating. With the dust, dirt, and
danger of forced air, it’s easy to see why
consumers are flocking to the comfort and convenience
of heated floors.

Trick or Treat? Is Radiant Heat Installation a Trick or a Treat for End Users?
Warmzone offers a relatively simple product called ClearZone snow melting mats. These radiant heat mats are quite simple to install but come with a few disclaimers that if followed will help you avoid mishap. The great news is that ClearZone mats have pre-spaced cable rows making it simple to follow the correct method of laying the heat cables down. One of the most important things to be aware of is that you must never cut the cables in an attempt to make them fit an awkward space or fill in a gap. Also, be sure to lay the cables at least two inches apart from its neighbor. If the cables are placed too closely they will overheat and reduce the life span of the radiant heat cables. No matter how confident you are with your placement and installation it is usually wise to hire a professional electrician to do the final inspection. Following these simple guidelines will help your radiant heated driveway installation be a wonderful treat instead of a horrible trick. |
