Four Steps to Install Your SIM System
Installing a snow melt system begins with Sun Star Heating and Cooling for a free in-home estimate. During the consultation our snow melt system experts will explain how the process works, and how much it will cost. Each home offers its own set of unique challenges and factors such as driveway or walkway length and topography will be taken into consideration and included in the estimate. Installing a heated driveway or snowmelt systems for business walkways and sidewalks are a significant investment. However, the peace of mind, the increased safety, and convenience of snow melt systems are worth the expense. That being said, snow melt systems often can be cheaper than hiring a snow removal company.
