How Do Hydronic Heated Driveways Work?
Hydronic heated driveways utilize a smart combination of hot water and propylene glycol, circulated through a network of flexible hydronic tube systems embedded in your driveway or sidewalks. Hydronic snow and ice melting systems efficiently warm the driveway surface, removing the need for shovelling or salt.
The heat-retaining properties of the mixture ensure optimal energy usage, enhancing both efficiency and environmental friendliness. Powered by highly efficient condensing boilers, these systems offer versatility, operating on various energy sources including natural gas, electricity, and even solar power. With lower operating costs compared to electric systems, hydronic heated driveways provide a sustainable and cost-effective solution for snow and ice removal, ensuring a hassle-free winter experience.

Hydronic Heated Driveway FAQs
The typical cost for installing a heated driveway averages approximately $5,174, with most projects falling between $2,956 – $7,795 CAD. For a hydronic system, expect installation costs to range from $5,376 to $6,720 CAD due to the inclusion of a boiler unit.
These estimates exclude expenses related to pavement work, such as pouring new concrete or asphalt or demolishing existing pavement, which may be required. Prices can vary depending on the size of the driveway, whether you are including a hydronic driveway heating system in a new build or existing property, and many other factors.

Hydronic systems typically have higher initial costs due to the necessary mechanical components. However, they boast superior operational efficiency compared to electric systems, thanks to the fuel source utilized. Electric systems, while more affordable to install initially, incur higher operational costs due to the expense of electricity compared to direct gas or oil.
Guidelines for sizing snow and ice melting systems involve several parameters:
- Maintain a minimum surface temperature of 33°F and aim for a typical snow melting temperature of 38°F.
- Ensure the maximum water temperature does not exceed 150°F.
- Space tubing at 6 inches on center with loop lengths ranging from 300 to 500 feet.
- Opt for pipe sizes of 5/8 inches or 3/4 inches.
- Design with a differential temperature of 25°F and use propylene glycol at a maximum concentration of 50%.
Hydronic radiant heating systems for driveways, featuring heated water or glycol circulating through pipes, typically have a lifespan of 30-50 years. While they require slightly more maintenance, their durability is remarkable.
On average, the annual operational cost for a driveway heating system ranges between 12 and 25 cents per square foot. This translates to approximately $120 to $250 per winter season for melting snow on a 1,000-square-foot driveway. Operational expenses will vary based on the local kilowatt-hour cost.
