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.
