I really want a snowmelt system
I hate getting into my car during the winter.
The snow and cold make it awful.
I know that I need to get up at least thirty minutes earlier in the winter. I have to shovel a path to my car and a path to get out of my driveway. I need to push all the snow off my car, chip away the ice and start the car heating system. You can’t just hop into a freezing car and drive away, it is not good for the engine. I then go back inside, shower and get ready. By the time I am ready to leave, the car heating system has done its job. I have looked into automatic starts but that doesn’t stop the snow problem. I found online that there are snowmelt systems you can buy. This takes a boiler system and connects piping to it. The pipes then get installed under a driveway. Hot water flows from the boiler and through the pipes to heat the driveway. You then have a heated driveway that melts the snow and warms anything touching it, like a car. The ice and snow should melt right off the windshield. I won’t need to start the car heater since the radiant heating would be below it. I could sleep another thirty minutes in the wintertime. The cost of a snowmelt system is pretty high though. I don’t even own a boiler system either sadly. I looked into boilers and they are expensive but last a long time. When my heater goes, I think I will replace it with a boiler. Then I can start shopping for a snow melt plan.
