So many people get heated driveways, use it for a year, get the cost for running it and never use it again...

It seems like it would only be close to “reasonable” to run in a place where snow is so minimal that you don’t even need to bother dealing with it.

But if you live somewhere like where I live, where a bad storm is 10-14” of snow, that’s gotta take what, days of running the system?

Wouldn't you just run it as the snow falls, so none of it sticks??

[–] Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 weeks ago

In reality, you turn it on before the snow falls and do not turn it off until the spring. This isn't the type of thing you turn on when you think it's needed, it stays on all season
