Installing a DANFOSS GX heated driveway or other electric snow and ice melting system benefits you and your family by enhancing safety and increasing the value of your property.

DANFOSS GX heated driveway snow melting systems operate automatically. The electric heating systems detect when areas of your driveway or walkways require snow or ice melting, and automatically switch the embedded heating cable on or off as required. Subsequently, the heated driveway is kept free of ice and snow throughout the winter, making labor-intensive snow shoveling or salting unnecessary. Radiant heated driveway systems also increase the lifespan of the structure by preventing frost and salt damage.
 
Effective heat control ensures optimal operating economy
Danfoss GX thermostats and sensors ensure energy-efficient operation. The radiant snowmelt system utilizes minimal energy - only when needed - yet achieves optimal results. The electric driveway heating system activates only when precipitation is detected and temperatures are below 38 degrees. Installation and operating costs of DANFOSS GX radiant heat ice and snow melting systems are modest when considering the many immediate and long term cost-savings and advantages. Radiant heated driveways and walkways increase property values, eliminate the need to shovel and salt driveways, walkways and parking areas, and prevent costly property damage typically caused by ice, snow, salt, plowing and other manual snow removal methods.

Electric Radiant Heat - Suitable for virtually all surfaces
The DANFOSS GX heated driveway and radiant snowmelt systems are safe and effective to use under just about any type of surface, including: asphalt, concrete, tile (pavers), and more. Among the many DANFOSS GX ice and snow melting applications are: heated driveways, walkways, parking areas, outdoor steps and stairways, loading platforms, ramps and bridges, etc.
