THE SERVICE is a small company that doesn’t do everything but only that which is extremely important for you as a homeowner. When I think of what the home has become in the last three decades as a contractor and a personal home dweller, a few critical issues always raise their ugly head from time to time. When we not only eat and sleep, and then work in this castle almost 24/7, we have to first consider the quality of the air we breathe. That’s pivot point number one! The second imperative thought is, how clean is that spacious attic that graces the above ceiling over us rate when it comes to toxic or contaminate debris? Next is how costly and how pure is that cool air that’s pumped through those vents of ours to keep our plush lifestyle without sweat or toil? Lastly, and maybe not so common to us surf rats her in sunny So Cali, how effective is that furnace which produces heat when we’re shivering to the bone? There are tons of cold shouldered, huge corporate companies that do, so called Air Conditioning 365/24/7 for a measly buck, while The Service is just a phone call away. I’ve been there, I am there and will be in the future, so let me, as the owner of The Service, take the sting out of not knowing what you’re getting into before you regret. I won’t play the mystery card or deal from the bottom of the deck, what you see is what you’ll get. I’ll provide quality, be efficient and transparent in everything I do.

Heated driveways either heat up with electric coils or from hot water flowing through pipes, coming from your boiler. These electric cables and pipes are generally only a couple of inches under the surface. As they heat, they heat up the thermal mass of the asphalt or concrete, which melts away the snow and ice. They usually run for an extra period after all the snow is melted to dry out the surface and avoid ice accumulation.
Heated driveways will melt off snow at a rate of about two to three inches per hour. The actual rate of melt depends on the temperature you have the heating set at, the type of driveway you have, and the climate you're in. Your driveway will melt much faster in 32 degrees than it will at zero degrees. So expect your results to vary a bit.
Heated driveways may crack if the embedded heating elements are positioned too near the surface or if a system malfunction occurs. This issue arises when the coils or tubes are not installed correctly, resulting in stress on the pavement. Once the heating system is fully corrected, the necessary repair involves sealing the cracks and resurfacing. This process restores strength and ensures lasting durability.
When installed and maintained correctly, a heated driveway lasts between 15 and 20 years, on average. Proper installation using professional standards and regular maintenance of components such as the boiler and wiring guarantees long-lasting performance. Consistent care and timely repairs secure the system's durability, ensuring reliable operation throughout its expected lifespan.
A heated driveway increases home value by enhancing curb appeal and ensuring safety during snowstorms. This reliable system adds a high-value feature that stands out in areas with heavy snow, reducing the need for manual snow removal. Homeowners benefit from improved aesthetics and energy efficiency, which contributes significantly to overall property marketability.
