What to Expect during the Installation of your Snowmelt System

  1. Initial Consultation and Assessment
    • Site Evaluation: A professional will evaluate your property to determine the best system design and placement for optimal performance.
    • System Design: Customized plans will be made, taking into account the size of the area, layout, and your specific needs.
  2. Preparation and Excavation
    • Clearing the Area: Any existing surface materials like pavement, concrete, or stone will need to be removed.
    • Excavation:The ground will be excavated to make room for the system, and insulation may be installed to enhance efficiency.
  3. Installation of Piping System
    • Tubing Installation: PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) tubing is typically laid in a pattern beneath the surface. This tubing will carry the heated water needed to melt snow and ice.
    • Securing the Tubing: The tubes will be securely fastened to the surface to prevent movement before covering them.
  4. Connection to Heat Source
    • Boiler Installation: If one is not already present, a boiler will be installed or adapted to heat the water for the snowmelt system.
    • Pump and Manifold Setup: A pump and manifold system will be set up to regulate water flow through the tubing.
  5. Testing and System Start-up
    • Pressure Testing: The system will be pressure tested to ensure there are no leaks.
    • Initial Run: Once everything checks out, the system will be fired up and tested under working conditions to ensure everything is functioning properly.
  6. Surface Restoration
    • New Surface Installation: Once the system is installed, the surface will be replaced or refinished with your choice of material (concrete, asphalt, or pavers).
  7. Post-Installation Support
    • Instructions: You’ll receive guidance on how to operate the system and adjust settings.
    • Maintenance Information: Recommendations for system maintenance to keep it running efficiently through the winter months.
Expect a disruption to outdoor areas during installation, but the final result will provide seamless snow and ice management, making your property safer and easier to maintain.
