If you’re like me, you thought that spring was here to stay.  Well, apparently not, because I woke up yesterday to almost an inch of snow.  If you live in a volatile climate like I do, one thing is for certain…the weather is not. As such, this spring and summer take advantage of an opportunity to lessen the amount of work you have to do this next winter.  I’m talking about the dreaded snow removal that I always fear.  Recently I discovered that there were snow removal systems, which are essentially heated driveways, that eliminate the need to shovel snow.  My first question was “don’t those use a lot of energy?”  Surprisingly the answer is “no!”  This is because new technology, especially in the area of thermostats make it so that the system turns on and off automatically, and runs only when needed, making it very economical to operate.  Furthermore, I was pleasantly surprised that these snow melting systems were a lot more affordable than I had assumed.  If you’re like me, and sick and tired of shoveling snow in the winter, now is the perfect time to start considering installing a heated driveway.  This spring, as you start on your “to do” list of home improvements, make sure that a heated driveway is at the top of your list.
