Industry Leading Systems   ●   Local Installer Network   ●   Free Installation Training   ●   Unmatched Customer Service

If you grew up in the Detroit area, chances are you looked forward to winter as a kid. And as far as you were concerned, the more snow that fell the better. There were no thoughts about snow on the driveway or in the roads. There were only thoughts of snowy fun as you grabbed an inner tube or sled and headed to Derby Hill or Civic Center Park behind Lamphere High School for an afternoon of sledding. After a day of racing down hills, perhaps you tried your hand at building snowmen. Then you’d finish the day in flannel pajamas with a cup of hot chocolate and mom’s home cooking. Yes, those were the days when you didn’t have to worry about shoveling snow from the driveway or driving in the white stuff.

As you grew older and swapped your sled for a snowboard to hit the slopes after a storm, mom or dad probably handed you a snow shovel and said “first things first”. If you’re like most Michigan residents, you’ve been shoveling snow every winter since then.

But now that you’re looking out from the window of your own home, you might be happy to know that there’s a better way to deal with snow-packed driveways – and your kids will love you for it! Radiant heated driveways are an efficient and reliable way to keep your driveway and sidewalks free of ice and snow. Driveway snow melting systems are fully automated, maintenance free and easy to customize. You can heat the entire driveway, or just the area that’s on an incline, or perhaps two 24-inch wide tire tracks. The options are virtually limitless. Homeowners can work with Warmzone to design a system that is best for their driveway and budget.

Warmzone has been providing Michigan residents with radiant heat solutions for well over a decade. In addition to offering the industry’s most proven and trusted products, we also include the most comprehensive customer services in the industry. And having worked with installers throughout Michigan, chances are that we can recommend an experienced (proven) installer in your area to install your heated driveway, or floor, or roof de-icing system.

Snow melting systems in action

Regardless of your budget and snow melting needs, the system can be easily configured to meet those needs. The automated system will heat the driveway only when conditions warrant, and efficiently enhance safety while you enjoy your coffee in the morning.

If you don’t have to shovel the driveway or walks you’ll have more time to go to the park with the kids and show ‘em some old-school sledding skills. Or maybe your family would rather build the neighborhood’s largest snowman. After all, winter is a family affair. Let the heated driveway do its thing while you and your family do yours.

Don’t dread another Detroit winter. Install a driveway snow melting system and trade your shovel for a cup of coffee. Who knows, you just might start enjoying Michigan winters again.

Detroit Roof De-icing Systems

Warmzone roof heating systems are among the best, most trusted de-icing solutions on the market. Whether you choose to use self-regulating heat trace cable or the advanced low-voltage roof heating panels, Warmzone will custom design your roof heating system to best deal with Detroit winters while keeping mindful of your budget.

Roof de-icing system and heated floor

Ice dams are the most common problem for costly roof and water damage to structures in the Detroit area. Small amounts of heat can escape into the attic where it rises and warms the roof, causing snow on the roof to melt. The runoff reaches the roof eaves, but because that portion of the roof extends out from the attic and is not being warmed, the water refreezes and forms a ridge of ice. Over time more and more ice forms, creating a large dam of ice. As more snow melts, the water runs down the roof and forms a pool behind the ice dam. Water finds its way into every crevice of the roof and when it refreezes and expands at night, it can enlarge cracks or damage the integrity of the roof. Eventually water can seep into the house and cause water and mold damage before it is discovered.

Roof de-icing systems can prevent ice dams from forming. The roof eaves are heated, allowing the runoff to flow into the roof gutters. Lined with self-regulating heat trace cable, the gutters provide an unobstructed flow of water, thereby helping to protect the roof, gutters and downspouts.

Radiant Heated Floors

To beat the bone chilling Michigan temperatures, have you considered installing energy efficient radiant heat in your home? Radiant floor heat delivers luxurious warmth that heats the home more efficiently than traditional forced air systems. Each room, or zone, is controlled separately, giving you precise control to effectively heat the rooms you want in your home.

Installing a radiant floor heating system can turn a small investment into real cost-savings as well as boost your home’s value. Radiant floor heating systems operate silently and are extremely efficient. With heated floors, you can lower room temperatures by a few degrees yet still enjoy the same level of comfort as higher temperatures associated with traditional heating systems. And there is virtually no heat loss because warm air isn't wasted blowing from vents and rising to the ceiling. Radiant heat warms objects and the heat originates at your feet, making it particularly ideal for rooms where children spend a lot of time playing on the floor.
