"We have real winters. The entrance is on the north side of the house gets virtually no sun in winter and we had a constant build up of ice on the granite steps from snow melt off the porch roof.
Even using chemicals to melt the ice was an unsatisfactory stop gap measure as we need the steps clear for guests 24/7. Heattrak is the perfect solution. The steps have been clear of ice and snow all winter."
