- The average melting time for a driveway heater is upwards of 5-6cm (around 2 or 2.5 inches) per hour.
- This number may vary, depending on several factors, like how cold it is outside.
- Typical snowfall rates range from 1cm to 4cm per hour.
- Our activation sensors are fine-tuned to initiate the system under specific conditions that consider both temperature and precipitation, so the system never just runs because it’s cold.
- Once the temperature drops below the adjustable “set point,” typically between 3°C (39°F) and freezing, and precipitation is detected, the sensor promptly gets to work.
