The Four Key Components of Snow Melting Systems

Generally, two types of snow melting systems are available for use in exterior slabs on grade: hydronic snow melt and electric snow melt systems. Both rely on four key components to turn the entire slab surface into a radiant heat source.

1. A heating element, which is embedded in the slab.
2. Sensors to detect outdoor air temperatures and moisture.
3. A power source.
4. A controller to tie the heating element, sensors, and power source together.
