Not only can the team at Parley’s PPM Plumbing install snowmelt systems for your home, but we can also install commercial snowmelt systems. Individuals are opting for the modern conveniences for a variety of reasons, including:

  • Convenience – Snowfall accumulation throughout the winter can force individuals to spend hours shoveling. Snowmelt systems eliminate such a chore.
  • Reduce costs – For business owners, it is critical for safety’s sake to have clear parking lots and walkways. Commercial snowmelt systems can significantly decrease overhead costs by eliminating the need for snow plowing or other services.
  • Targeting trouble spots – Even when homeowners do not find it necessary to install snow melting cables or mats throughout their driveway or sidewalk, they can still take advantage of radiant heating in trouble spots where snow and ice typically accumulate.

Snowmelt Systems in Orem, UT

Parley’s PPM Plumbing offers snowmelt systems for Orem, UT homeowners. Hydronic snowmelt systems rely on four main components to become a radiant heat source. It requires a heating element embedded in exterior slabs, sensors to detect temperatures and moisture, a power source, and a controller to tie them all together. Our team of experts is happy to discuss your options.

Hydronic Snowmelt Systems

A hydronic snowmelt system uses a mixture of hot water and antifreeze circulating through a closed-loop tubing to heat exterior slabs. The fluid typically reaches temperatures between 140 degrees Fahrenheit and 180 degrees Fahrenheit to heat the surface adequately and promote snow melting. The heat source for a hydronic snowmelt system is usually a water heater or boiler, and its effectiveness depends on proper tube spacing and layout. Our contractors can lay the tubes in a serpentine or spiral pattern for even distribution.

Snowmelt System Installation in Orem, UT

The professional contractors at Parley’s PPM Plumbing in Orem, UT can expertly install either style of snowmelt system for your home or business. Tubing and snow melting cables or mats must be laid at regular, pre-determined intervals and secured before pouring concrete. The depth of the radiant heating element will dictate the response time during a storm. We take special precautions to ensure safety and efficiency during every snowmelt system installation we perform in Utah County. We are also sure to test the systems before and during concrete placement to ensure there is no damage to the heating elements during installation. Our team also adds insulation under the slab and near exposed edges to reduce heat loss.
