Outdoor settings like patios or pathways leading to a hot tub can now benefit from using a traditional hydronic radiant heating system or even more intriguing is the emerging trend of embedding electric heating cables to provide that desired surface temperature. Raising the surface above 38 degrees will conveniently remove any snow or ice and allow you to use your outdoor living areas more often, not to mention safely and comfortably.
For folks in snowy climates, being able to entertain outdoors year-round has been just a dream, but thanks to an outdoor heating system that dream can become a reality. Whether it’s winter or fall, or even a chilly spring, an outdoor heating system enables you to have a comfortable, heated entertaining space year-round.
You might wonder how an outdoor heating system works; well, it’s similar to how indoor radiant heat works. Radiant heat warms the floor and any object in contact with the floor to distribute an even, no-draft heat.
A good many do-it-yourselfers will have no problem laying out the cable for the outdoor heating systems and preparing them for a certified electrician to do the final connections.
Outdoor Heating System Tip: If you entertain at your home often, consider installing an outdoor heating system.

This fall you will most likely heave a big sigh of relief when you rake that last leaf into that pile and bag it up or put it in the mulch pile. At that point,  you’ll be done caring for your lawn until next spring, right? Well, just because it’ll be wintertime doesn’t mean you can’t protect your garden or lawn. In the colder months, heating systems are the best option to melt the ice and to protect your landscaping. Outdoor heating systems like heated driveways do more than just melt snow and ice from driveways and sidewalks. They also help preserve your landscaping while avoiding the use of harmful salt and chemicals.
The potential damage done to lawns and landscaping by salt spread over asphalt and sidewalks to melt the ice is notable. The sodium chloride burns the plants and gets absorbed by the plants’ root systems. This just means you’ll have damage to repair in the springtime — so easily avoided with the use of heating systems.
The solution isn’t to use alternate “ice-melt” products, which don’t work as effectively as outdoor heating systems. You see, these systems don’t use any harmful chemicals, and they melt the ice so effectively that you don’t have to do any of the work.
Heating Systems Tip: These heating systems are state of the art but easy to install for any contractor or do-it-yourself expert.

Even if you don’t get a lot of snow in your area, or if you get just ice, you still have a lot of preparation to do for wintry weather: covering the AC units, buying ice-melt, or buying a new ice scraper for car windshields. Here is a timesaving tip: a little planning this summer, could save you hours this coming winter. That’s because with one of the new outdoor heating systems available that can automatically melt snow and ice from sidewalks and driveways, you won’t be as busy with winter preparations and will have a lot more family time.
Outdoor snow melting systems in concrete, asphalt and under pavers was thought to be a luxury most people couldn’t afford. Now, heating driveways, walkways or even parking areas is becoming common for many residences and businesses. If you live in a cold region that requires snow removal you should consider a automated snow melting system before you begin construction to assure yourself the best design and performance.
Not only is an outdoor heating system convenient, but it’s inexpensive as well. By the time I account for the ice melt I won’t buy, the time I won’t spend, and the money saved on trips to the chiropractor after shoveling snow, I should have the outdoor heating system paid off in a winter or two.
Outdoor Heating System Tip: Adding a heated driveway to your home or business will add safety and value to your property.

Outdoor heating systems create comfort for outdoor areas during the cooler days and months of the year. Heaters designed specifically for outdoor areas will provide the optimal warmth. There are two main types of outdoor heating systems. The first type is those heating systems that heat the air, and increase comfort. The second are those that heat objects, such as sidewalk, driveway, etc and are used to keep snow and ice from accumulating during the winter months. This second type of outdoor heating system is particularly useful for those who live in harsh winter conditions, and have steep or winding driveways. Outdoor heating systems can also be utilized to melt snow and ice from the roof of a home.

One thing many homeowners forget about is that ice storms or wet winter weather and cold temperatures aren’t just dangerous for roads and sidewalks, they can do a real number on gutters and roofs, too. A great solution to these problems are outdoor heating systems. They can help prevent the ice from building up and destroying gutters and roofs on your home.
There are numerous systems available to prevent roof and gutter damage; one such outdoor heating system is WarmZone’s RoofHeat system. When mounted to your roof eaves and/or valleys, the RoofHeat system is designed to eliminate ice and snow in those areas keeping your home or business perimeter safer and reducing the risk of winter roof damage.
RoofHeat receives its heat from one of two sources. A “cut to length” commercial grade, self regulating heat cable can be inserted into custom channels or ⅜ inch radiant PEX tubing from an existing hydronic system. These panels are attached to the roof eaves and valleys to prevent ice and snow build up in those areas. And, how nice is this? The RoofHeat outdoor heating system is available in a wide variety of panel colors and textures to complement your roof.
