How Does Radiant Heating Work?
The system works alongside an advanced snow sensor that detects low temperatures and precipitation. When moisture from the snow is detected and the temperature is below the set point of around 39°F, the sensors will signal to start the snow melting process! This includes a signal to the controller that sends power to the embedded heat cables, which ultimately warms your driveway and melts the snow that is falling on it.
What Type Of Pavement Can It Be Installed Beneath?
Radiant heating can work with various mediums to warm your driveway. Whether your driveway is made up of concrete, asphalt, or pavers radiant heating can work with each one to warm your driveway and simultaneously melt the snow on it.
What Does The Installation Process Look Like?
Our Neerings heating and electrical team will install a series of tubes that will be placed BELOW the concrete driveway. This process can take several days to over a week depending on the driveway’s length, additional pathways, walkways, or steps that also need to be lined with infrared radiation tubes.

Why Choose Radiant Heating?
Are you looking for innovative ways to heat your home or thaw your driveway? A driveway radiant heating system could be the solution you need.
There are many good reasons to choose radiant heating service from Neerings Plumbing Heating Air & Electric. These include:
Save Energy
Radiant heating systems are more efficient than conventional heating systems, which lose a lot of energy via holes and cracks in air ducts. Radiant heating also allows you to use cleaner forms of energy, rather than having to use whatever is installed in your house.
Spend Less
When you’re not using as much energy, you won’t spend as much on energy bills each month. This can quickly amount to significant savings and is usually a more efficient way to heat your home. The system also has a long service life span.
Feel Better
Since you’re not bringing in air from outside to heat or cool your home, you won’t have to worry as much about allergens in your house; this system doesn’t distribute allergens like forced air systems. These systems also make no noise.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does radiant heating work?
Radiant heating uses infrared radiation to heat your home and driveway. We’ll heat your floors, walls, or driveway and let that heat spread to either warm your house or melt the snow and ice that has accumulated. Just like you can feel the heat coming off a hot stove burner when the house is cold, radiant heating will make your cold rooms warm.
Most heated driveways in Salt Lake City use a series of tubes that we’ll place under the concrete. When it gets below a certain temperature, these tubes fill with a mixture of antifreeze and hot water. The heat from the water moves into the concrete panels. That heat transfers to your driveway and melts the snow and ice there. In your house, we can use heated air, water, or electricity, so you can choose the type of radiant heating that best suits your needs.
