& for Boston Winters
Stop shoveling. Stop salting. Stop worrying about ice.
Hydronic snow melt systems circulate heated water through tubing embedded beneath driveways, walkways, patios, and entryways, melting snow as it falls and preventing ice accumulation.
Just Right Services designs and installs automatic snow melt systems throughout Greater Boston, with a strong presence north and west of Boston including Melrose, Reading, North Reading, Andover, Wilmington, Lexington, Weston, Wellesley, Brookline, Watertown, Cambridge, Danvers, Peabody and Saugus.
Where Can Be Installed
Hydronic snow melt systems can be installed in:
- Driveways
- Walkways
- Front steps
- Patios
- Garage aprons
- Commercial entrances
- Any area where snow and ice create hazards
These systems are installed during new construction or hardscape installation and cannot be retrofitted later. Early planning is essential.
Smart Snow Melt Operation
All of our snow melt systems use Tekmar automatic snow sensors. This system:
- Detects temperature and moisture
- Activates automatically
- Melts snow as it drops
- Prevents dangerous ice buildup
This ensures surfaces remain clear throughout the storm without unnecessary energy use.
Benefits for Homeowners

Performance & Operating
A properly engineered hydronic snow melt system will melt snow as it falls and prevent snow and ice buildup, even during Boston’s worst winter storms.
In many applications, operating costs are often lower than traditional snow management when factoring in plowing, salting, labor, and property damage, all while providing superior safety and reliability.
Designed & Installed by
Snow melt systems require proper engineering, load calculations, and premium components.
We use only use the best: Viessmann and Lochinvar boilers, Grundfos pumps, Viega and Uponor tubing, and Tekmar controls.
With over 25 years specializing in hydronic systems, we ensure every installation performs reliably winter after winter.
If you’re installing a new driveway, walkway, or hardscape, snow melt must be designed in from the beginning.
We partner with homeowners, builders, and hardscape contractors across Greater Boston to integrate high-performance hydronic snow melt systems that protect surfaces and keep them clear all winter long.

FAQs about , , &
Can a snow melt system be added to an existing driveway?
Does a heated driveway run all winter?
No. Our systems use automatic Tekmar snow sensors that activate only when moisture and freezing temperatures are detected.
Will the system melt snow during heavy storms?
Yes. Properly designed systems melt snow as it falls and prevent ice accumulation.
Are heated driveways expensive to operate?
In many cases, operating costs are competitive with or lower than traditional snow removal when factoring in plowing, salting, and labor.
What areas do you serve for snow melt installation?
We serve Greater Boston, including Melrose, Reading, Lexington, Weston, Wellesley, Andover, Wilmington, Brookline, Cambridge, Danvers, Peabody and surrounding towns.
