About the Project

For this new construction home in Andover, Just Right Services designed and installed a large-scale snow melt system to eliminate the challenges of snow buildup across an expansive 14,000 square foot driveway and walkway.

With no practical space to relocate snow during winter storms, the homeowner wanted a solution that would maintain the clean appearance of the property while avoiding large, unsightly snow piles. A fully integrated hydronic snow melt system was installed beneath the surface, allowing the driveway and walkways to remain clear automatically throughout the winter months.

The system was built using Crete-Heat insulation and Viega tubing to ensure efficient heat transfer, durability, and long-term performance. Spanning six zones, the layout was carefully engineered to provide even coverage across the entire driveway and surrounding walkways. The system is controlled via a manual switch located in the basement, giving the homeowner full control over operation during snow events.

Snow Melt System Design, Performance & Results

Because this was a new build on an empty lot, the system was integrated from the ground up, allowing for optimal design, clean installation, and seamless coordination with the overall construction of the home.

Beyond convenience, the system delivers significant long-term benefits. It eliminates the need for shoveling and salting, improves safety by reducing ice hazards, and helps lower ongoing snow removal costs. It also protects nearby landscaping by preventing large snow piles from accumulating on planting beds, which can damage or stunt the growth of trees and shrubs.

Following a recent nor’easter, the homeowner reached out with simple but powerful feedback: “It’s a beautiful thing.”
