How Snow Melting Systems Contribute

• Many municipalities have banned plowing and dumping snow into your local waterways. The melt water from your embedded snow melting system will either evaporate into the air or drain into your sewer system where it can be treated.
• Eliminates the use of corrosive salts and chemical de-icers that run off the surface and seep into groundwater and destroy nearby vegetation.
• Lengthen the life of interior floors because your visitors will not be carrying corrosive salts on the bottoms of their shoes into buildings .
• Lengthen the life of your pavement by preventing stored snow piles from cracking pavement surfaces and impeding the ability of drivers to see oncoming traffic. 

According to the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Equipment (A.S.H.R.A.E) and the U.S. Department of Energy (D.O.E.) electric resistance heating elements convert nearly 100% of their energy into heat.
