My part gets a lot of ice, snow, as well as cold; It is horrible dealing with the pounds of snow that occur in my front driveway.
I started out attacking all the snow by hand. I would use a snow shovel everytime it piled up too much. It took hours, was backsplitting, hot work, as well as it had little payoff. I then decided to upgrade to a snow blower; The snow blower was better, but it required maintenance. I had to make sure I had gas, it worked right, as well as that I knew how to operate it. It was such a eveningmare, then half of the time I ended up shoveling. I then did some research as well as found that those with a boiler system can hook pipes to their component as well as have a snowmelt system. The pipes go underground as well as then supply hot water to melt the snow in the driveway. It was an amazing upgrade I made. I care about that I have no snow on my driveway due to a boiler. I only have to push a button as well as wait. That is it. I keep it on most of the winter. I care about that my vehicle that sits on the driveway gets heated as a result. It warms it to the point aht there is no ice or snow buildup. It is like walking into a heated car. I have saved so much time with this new boiler addition; My boiler is able to serve as the apartment boiler simultaneously too. I know a lot of people shy away from boilers due to the upfront costs. I care about that this boiler is so powerful as well as durable though! Worth every penny.
