Driveway & Garage Heating Systems

We provide installation, repair and maintenance for driveway and garage heating systems. This includes:

In-floor radiant heat that uses electric current

In-floor radiant heat that uses hot water

Garage heaters and venting

Even with chinooks, you can expect to shovel a lot of snow during a winter in Calgary. As a result:

You can be late for work

You can put a lot of physical stress on your body

Ice and snow can be a slip hazard, if not cleared promptly

Salt and snow-removal chemicals can cause damage to driveways, shoes and vehicles

While a significant investment, heated driveways and garages are becoming increasingly popular as a way to avoid stress during winter. With a heated driveway system, sensors can automatically detect snowfall and turn on and off accordingly. All you have to do is enjoy the results!

BRANDS WE CARRY

WHICH DRIVEWAY HEATING METHOD IS RIGHT FOR YOU?

There are two popular methods. One method is in-floor radiant heat that uses electric currents. It generates heat along a series of coils located underneath the driveway. Electric-based heating has a lower initial cost but tends to use more energy.

The second is in-floor radiant heat that uses hot water. It’s similar to the electric option but, instead of coils, it’s a collection of tubes that transports the hot water. While it’s more expensive to install, water-based in-floor radiant heat costs less over time.

Additional factors for pricing include:

Whether an existing driveway needs to be demolished

Whether you want to install a sensor system

Use Your Garage All Year Round with an Easy to Maintain Heating System

In the winter, does a trip to your garage feel like an Antarctic expedition? With the help of our experienced technicians, garage heating systems are easy to install and maintain. We will assess your garage for the perfect model and placement based on a heat loss determination. And, in no time, you’ll be tinkering in your garage again.

Ensure Your Heated Driveway and Garage is Ready for Winter

For a heated driveway, we suggest scheduling a yearly check-up. On your own, you can also check the liquid glycol level in the axiom tank. This keeps the pipes from freezing. If the level is low, you can add a glycol and water mix, to keep your system running smoothly. We will also top up your tank when we stop by for annual maintenance.

For a heated garage, aside from occasionally cleaning the fan blades, little maintenance is required. On request, we can also come by to check on gas pressure, electronics and carbon monoxide levels.
