Snow and Ice Removal Systems

This sure has been a snowy winter on Cape Cod. Most of us Cape Codders are exhausted from shoveling, snow-blowing and salting. There is an easier way: South Shore Heating and Cooling utilizes Uponor's superior snow-melting system. "In the Uponor snow-melting system warm water circulates through durable crosslinked polyethylene (PEX) tubing embedded in concrete, turf, asphalt, or sandbed. The warmth from the water warms the surface to a temperature that melts snow and ice on contact.

The Uponor snow and ice melting system provides a simple, weather responsive, economic and fully automatic solution for snow melt. Uponor's hydronic systems circulate warm water through Uponor PEX tubing buried in the ground. This makes the worry and inconvenience of snow and ice removal a thing of winters past!
