Heated Driveway Installation Winnipeg

Why Install a Heated Driveway in Winnipeg?

Winnipeg winters are notorious. Snow, black ice, and sub-zero temperatures make driveways slippery and dangerous. A heated driveway system ensures:

• No more manual shoveling or snow blowing

• Safer access for cars and pedestrians

• Prevention of ice buildup

• Extended driveway lifespan (less cracking from freeze-thaw cycles)

• Higher resale value

With a radiant heat driveway, snow melts on contact and drains away before it can freeze again. It’s a long-term investment in safety, convenience, and peace of mind.

Our Heated Driveway Installation Services

At Assured Builders, we offer full-service heated driveway installation in Winnipeg, including both electric and hydronic snow melt systems.

1. Free On-Site Assessment

We begin with a thorough evaluation of your driveway:

• Size and slope

• Surface material (concrete, asphalt, pavers)

• Drainage conditions

• Power/water access

• Winter exposure (sunlight/shade)

This allows us to recommend the best heated driveway system for your property and budget.

2. System Design and Planning

We custom-design your system to match the layout and performance requirements. Options include:

• Full coverage: Entire driveway surface is heated

• Tire tracks only: Two narrow heated strips where car tires roll

• High-traffic zones only: Sloped sections or trouble spots

We calculate wattage, pipe spacing, insulation needs, and control systems for optimal performance.

3. Heated Driveway System Installation

We offer two main types of radiant snow melt systems:

Electric Heated Driveway System

• Ideal for smaller driveways

• Uses heating cables embedded under the surface

• Lower upfront cost, faster installation

• Minimal maintenance

Hydronic Heated Driveway System

• Ideal for larger areas or commercial properties

• Uses glycol/water solution pumped through tubing

• Powered by a boiler (gas, electric, or combo)

• Higher upfront cost but lower long-term operating cost

We install all system components: heating cables or PEX tubing, insulation boards, smart thermostats, temperature/moisture sensors, and drainage.

4. Concrete or Asphalt Surface Finishing

We work with experienced Winnipeg concrete and paving contractors to ensure a smooth, durable driveway finish. Your radiant heating system remains invisible — only the snow-melting effect will be noticed.

5. System Testing and Smart Controls

We test the system for even heat distribution, connectivity, and performance. We also set up Wi-Fi-enabled smart thermostats so you can control your system remotely or automate it using temperature/moisture sensors.

DIY Driveway Snow Melting Systems vs. Professional Installation

While DIY snow melting kits may seem attractive, they rarely meet local code or perform well long-term — especially in Winnipeg’s harsh climate. Common issues include:

• Uneven melting or cold spots

• Tripped circuits

• Short lifespan

• No warranty

• Poor drainage or cracked driveways

FAQs About Heated Driveways in Winnipeg

Q: Can I install a heated driveway on an existing surface?

Yes — retrofits are possible by removing and re-pouring the surface. For pavers, we can lift and reinstall them with tubing underneath.

Q: How much does it cost to run a heated driveway?

On average, running a system during snow events costs $1–$2 per hour for electric systems. Hydronic systems are more efficient.

Q: Will a heated driveway crack my concrete?

No — in fact, it reduces freeze-thaw cycles that cause cracks. Proper installation is key.

Q: Is it eligible for rebates?

In some cases, energy efficiency rebates or home improvement loans may apply. We’ll help you explore all options.

Q: How long does it take to install?

Most projects take 5–10 days, including surface restoration.
