Our services
Driveways and sidewalks are crowded areas. Our specially designed snow-melting systems prevent the ground on the sidewalks and driveways from freezing in the winter.
Why snow melting system
In Canada, a snow melting system uses energy-efficient systems that employ heated wires to avoid snow, ice, and frost damage to address the issue of the changing seasons. This technology is an energy-efficient, long-term answer for a greener future. Here are a few of the advantages.
- A constant temperature gradient
- Low operating costs
- Simplicity of use,
- Without any environmental pollution
Why Heated Drive Ways?
snow-melting Technology
We use radiant heating technology in our snow-melting systems. Radiant heating brings you the best efficiency and the lowest energy consumption. It is standard to use radiant heating in cold regions like Canada.
What does the snow-melting system do?
This technology protects parking lots, garages, stairs, sidewalks, and other ground-level surfaces so they can withstand the adverse effects of winter. Our snow-melting system consists of four main components:
- A heating element (pipe, cable, or mat)
- A control unit (it can be digital with humidity and temperature sensors or analog with temperature sensors)
- A power source.
- Extra accessories depending on the selected equipment (e.g. clamps, fixing tape, or similar)
This system is essential for sloping surfaces, such as garage entrances. There is no need to heat the entire driveway. Only the small areas touched by the vehicle tires need to be heated.
We place the cables on the surface of the stairs and cover them with a concrete layer three to five centimetres thick. We do every step of the operation carefully because the concrete must adhere firmly to the entire surface of the cable without creating air bubbles.
We install a drainage system in the driveways with steep angles to drain water from melting Snow and ice.

FAQ
Installing a heated driveway is an investment that can enhance the value and functionality of your property. At HeatedWay.Ca, we provide a transparent breakdown of the costs involved. The installation of essential components like pipes, boilers, insulation, and pumps typically ranges between CAD 25 and CAD 35 per square foot. For a standard 1500 square foot driveway, the total system cost would be approximately CAD 37,500 to CAD 52,500, with finishing costs for materials such as concrete or interlocking pavers adding another CAD 15,000 to CAD 20,000. We believe in making informed decisions, so we ensure our clients understand the financial commitment before proceeding. While opting for less expensive contractors might seem tempting, it can lead to higher long-term costs and additional hassles. If the investment seems substantial, consider delaying the project rather than compromising on quality. At HeatedWay.Ca, your long-term satisfaction is our priority.
Radiant Heating Systems work by producing heat through thermal radiation. A controller is attached to a heated driveway system intended to run automatically. The controller will activate the system to heat the surface to a temperature slightly above freezing as it keeps track of moisture, temperature, and precipitation. There are also manually operated timer systems available. HeatedWay is one of the leading Toronto snow melting system providers you can rely on. Call us now for more information and get a quote.
The radiant heat wire can be put in all common materials, including roads made of concrete, asphalt, and pavers. Ramps, steps, loading docks, walkways, and other surfaces are heated with radiant heat. Our snow melting system is a tried-and-true snowmelt solution that is perfect for small, custom home-heated driveways, big commercial projects, and even runaway truck ramps. It is built to resist the rigours and stress of concrete pours and hot asphalt applications.
The OHM tests of the heating cable that are done before, during, and after installing an electrically heated driveway system are crucial. This makes a successful installation more likely. It would also avoid damaging the cable when pouring concrete over the snow-melting system and tangling the cable with instruments such as rakes, shovels, and trowels.
This system can add value to your property. The property will rise in price, which is beneficial in the long term
The heated systems are generally built to endure 50 years or more, which is far longer than the life of a driveway material. In fact, whenever there is a need to fix your pavers or asphalt every 10 years or so, there is always a chance to make improvements to your system, in case the technology enhances. However, with a given installed system, there is rarely a need to go back to adjust as these heating systems are designed for a one time-long lasting installation. Should there ever be a need to troubleshoot anything in your system; the HeatedWay team is always available for support to ensure your system is up and running as expected.
When precipitation and freezing temperatures are detected, our snow-melting systems in the GTA automatically activate. These controls ensure the system is only running when necessary and reduce unnecessary energy use.
You may have encountered the repeated scenario every winter when you wake up early or get home in the evening, only to see your driveway covered with heavy snow. Today, a city like Toronto adds up with our entire winter season. A day or two of snowy days may seem manageable; however, when the count goes up, it takes your life energy, time and comfort away. In fact, many homeowners complain of the stress they experience; as soon as the weather channel predicts snow storms, they only think about shovelings the day effectively after to get to work on time; or avoid liability issues in their driveway when kids go to school.
Many struggles to maintain a safe and functional property, as the average annual winter snowfall in Southern Ontario is roughly 107 cm. This is when a Radiant Heated Driveway can be the remedy many are looking for to put their mind at ease. These Radiant Heated Driveways are heated flooring systems that can turn everything upside down this winter on your driveway, exterior stairs, deck and porch area. In addition, there are options to use heated systems for interior use as required.
