Imagine waking up after a fresh snowfall to a driveway that’s already clear.
No shoveling. No icy sidewalks. No scrambling to spread salt before guests arrive. Just safe, dry walkways and a driveway that’s ready when you are.
A hydronic snowmelt system makes that possible—and summer is the ideal time to install one.
At Thornton Heating & Sheetmetal, we design and install custom snowmelt systems that help homeowners throughout Southern Idaho stay ahead of winter while protecting their property and making daily life easier.
A hydronic snowmelt system uses a network of durable tubing installed beneath your driveway, sidewalks, patios, steps, or entryways.
Warm water circulates through the tubing, gently heating the surface so snow and ice melt as they fall. The result is a safer property without the constant need for shoveling, snow blowing, or de-icing chemicals.
Snowmelt systems are especially popular for:
Whether you’re building a new home or remodeling your existing property, a snowmelt system is one of the most convenient upgrades you can make.
While snowmelt systems work during the winter, they’re best installed long before the first snowfall.
Installing during the warmer months offers several advantages:
Planning ahead means your system is ready to perform the moment winter weather returns.
Homes throughout Ketchum, Sun Valley, Hailey, Bellevue, Stanley, Carey, and the surrounding Wood River Valley experience long winters with heavy snowfall and icy conditions.
A professionally designed snowmelt system helps:
Instead of spending your mornings clearing snow, your driveway simply stays clear.
Snowmelt systems use the same reliable hydronic heating technology trusted in radiant floor heating systems.
Warm water produced by a high-efficiency boiler circulates beneath the surface, providing consistent, energy-efficient heat exactly where it’s needed.
