How are the snow melting and roof de-icing systems activated?
Several options are available. The most common is an aerial mounted snow switch that turns on the system when it senses moisture and the temperature is below 35 degrees Fahrenheit. A gutter mounted sensor, a pavement mounted sensor and a 12 hour timer are also used in conjunction with activating the system. You won’t have to worry about turning on the system in the middle of the night. You can now wake up to beautiful snow on your lawn and not have to waste time and energy shoveling it off your driveway.
