From commercial to residential the comfort and efficiency of radiant takes on a new meaning for snowmelt systems.
Most radiant contractors consider comfort and efficiency to be the two major benefits for underfloor heat. The two words take on a slightly different meaning for snowmelt. Certainly, there’s nothing more comforting than knowing you don’t have to shovel snow or wait for a service to plow everybody else first. For the efficiency-minded, there’s nothing better than a clean surface in the middle of a snowfall.
“Safety” might be the single best word to wrap both words inside. Every winter, many who live where the temperature dips below freezing hear of someone falling on ice. This past winter, famed diet doctor Robert Atkins died from injuries suffered on an icy sidewalk.
