Is HeatTrak Equipped to Manage the Challenges of Lake Effect Snow?

If you live in a region prone to lake effect snow, you know how relentless and unpredictable winter storms can be. With snow accumulations piling up at astonishing rates, it’s crucial to have a reliable snow and ice management system in place. HeatTrak’s heated snow & ice melting mats are designed to tackle these challenges head-on, providing a convenient, effective, and efficient solution to keep pathways clear and safe.

Understanding Lake Effect Snow

Lake effect snow occurs when cold air moves over warmer lake waters, picking up moisture and depositing it as snow onshore. This process can result in intense snowfall rates, often exceeding several inches per hour, leading to treacherous conditions for businesses and homeowners alike. For those in the so-called "snowbelt," preparing for these weather events is a non-negotiable part of winter.

Enter HeatTrak: A Reliable Solution for Winter Snow Challenges

HeatTrak snow-melting mats are designed to melt snow at a rate of 2 inches (5 cm) per hour, ensuring your walkways, driveways, stairs, and ramps remain clear even during heavy snowfall. The mats work exceptionally well down to -5 degrees Fahrenheit and, depending on the type of surface, could perform in even lower temperatures, making them ideal for use on sidewalks, decks, and elevated surfaces like porches. With this performance, HeatTrak mats can keep up with most lake effect snow events, reducing the need for constant shoveling or salting.

Key Features That Make HeatTrak Stand Out

Powerful Snow Melting

Electrically operated heating elements are encased between two layers of non-slip rubber, providing durability comparable to automobile tires. This construction makes them as durable as automobile tires, capable of enduring harsh wear and winter conditions.

Ease of Use

Lay the mats directly on your surfaces and start melting snow in a matter of minutes - no costly installations required!

For the best results, it’s recommended to turn on HeatTrak mats before snow begins to fall. Thanks to advanced wireless controls, managing your mats has never been easier:
