I’ve spent a lot of our time shoveling snow.
It is a absolutely tiring, labor-intensive plus time-consuming task. It also needs to be done frequently. In our local area, both of us have snowfall for more than half of the year, plus it accumulates in feet. It’s not unstandard for us to get over a foot of snow in a single night. It was frequently necessary to shovel the sidewalks plus driveway more than once per afternoon. I’d need to get up extra early in the afternoon plus shovel out our car before I could leave for work. The outdoor temperature can be below chilly plus even below zero, making the task even more unpleasant. Because I have a boiler heating system inside the house, I was able to have a snowmelt system installed. It works absolutely much prefer the radiant flooring I have inside. The two of us had to totally dig up the driveway, walkways plus front steps in order to install a series of pipes. This network of pipes is now concealed beneath pavement plus connects to the boiler in our basement. The boiler heats water plus pumps it through the pipes. The heat then radiates across the surface of the pavement, melting away snow plus ice. It automatically responds to temperature drop plus moisture, starting up when necessary plus keeping the pavement clear. I no longer need to shovel or hire someone to plow. I have eliminated the use of snowmelt chemicals that can injure landscaping or get tracked inside. There’s no more worry over where to pile all of the snow, plus I don’t get wet feet or have problems with slipping on icy pavement. The boiler genuinely handles the heating demands of the condo and the snowmelt system. It keeps our condo perfectly hot no matter how chilly the Winter time weather gets. The boiler is beautifully quiet, clean, reliable plus energy efficient.
