NeverFreeze® Snow & Ice Melting Cables for Driveways, Walkways, Ramps and Steps

NeverFreeze® snow melting cable provides reliable electric radiant heat for outdoor surfaces, helping to prevent snow and ice accumulation on driveways, walkways, sidewalks, ramps, and steps. Compatible with concrete, asphalt, and paver applications, the cable is designed for permanent installation and dependable winter performance. Unlike pre-spaced heating mats, the loose cable format offers maximum flexibility for custom layouts, making it ideal for irregularly shaped areas, curved pathways, and projects with unique design requirements. Installers can adjust cable spacing and routing to accommodate obstacles, optimize heat coverage, and tailor system output to the specific needs of each application, resulting in an efficient and highly adaptable snow melting solution.

NeverFreeze® snow melting cables help reduce shoveling, salting, and snow or ice buildup by providing electric radiant heat beneath driveways, walkways, steps, concrete, asphalt, and pavers. The electric heating cable format supports custom routing, field spacing, and custom layouts where flexible placement is helpful. Pair the heating cable system with outdoor rated temperature sensors and controls for automatic snow and ice management. US Manufacturer ThermoSoft offers different heating cable sizes and multiple power options for residential, commercial and industrial applications.

For larger applications, see the PYROBOX® line of controllers for increased electric power loads and alternating between multiple heating zones.

Spec Sheet

What are NeverFreeze® Electric snow and ice melting cables?
NeverFreeze® Electric snow and ice melting cables are electric radiant heating cable installed beneath outdoor surfaces to help melt snow and ice. These cables are installed beneath outdoor surfaces like pavers, concrete overlay, or asphalt to help melt snow and ice. They are designed for application in driveways, walkways and stairs
Why choose NeverFreeze® Electric snow and ice melting cable instead of mats?
NeverFreeze® Electric snow and ice melting cable supports custom routing, field spacing, and less regular layouts where flexible placement is helpful. Both electrically heated outdoor mats and cables serve the same snow and ice melting applications, but cable can be helpful when a pre spaced mat does not fit the project cleanly.
Can NeverFreeze® Electric snow and ice melting cables be used for driveways and walkways?
Yes. NeverFreeze® Electric snow and ice melting cables can be used for driveways, walkways, steps, and other outdoor surfaces when installed according to the product requirements and local electrical code.
What surfaces can NeverFreeze® Electric snow and ice melting cables be installed in?
NeverFreeze® Electric snow and ice melting cables are engineered for concrete overlay, asphalt, and paver applications. The final installation approach should match the surface material and project requirements.
Will melted snow refreeze into ice?
The outdoor snow and ice melting controls include features that help prevent refreezing. They allow the system to continue operating for a period after snow has melted so the surface can remain clear.
How fast will NeverFreeze® Electric snow and ice melting cables melt snow?
On average, the NeverFreeze® Electric snow and ice melting cables can melt about 2 inches of snow per hour. Actual performance depends on snowfall rate, temperature, wind, controls, and installation conditions.
What is the lowest temperature the NeverFreeze® Electric snow and ice melting cables can handle?
Controls usually shut the system off at around 17°F, but that setting may be overridden when needed. Performance depends on the conditions and system design.
What conduit is needed for NeverFreeze® Electric snow and ice melting cable system?
Lead wires are typically pulled through outdoor rated conduit to a junction box rated for outdoor use. A qualified licensed electrician should follow the ThermoSoft installation manual and local code requirements.
Will I need an expanded electrical panel?
Many snow melting projects require added electrical capacity. The amount of power needed depends on the heated area and system design. Always consult a licensed electrician. You can also call ThermoSoft US experts for assistance.
How much power does NeverFreeze® Electric snow and ice melting cable system use?
Power depends on the heated area. For snow melting heating cables, use this planning formula: 45 W per sq. ft. x heated area in sq. ft. divided by voltage equals Amps. For help sizing a system, call ThermoSoft US experts at (1) 800 308 8057.
How much do NeverFreeze® Electric snow and ice melting cables cost to operate?
Operating costs depend on heating system size, local electricity rates, run time, snowfall, and lag time used to prevent refreezing. For a specific project estimate, contact ThermoSoft US experts at (1) 800 308 8057.
How much does a NeverFreeze® Electric snow and ice melting cable system cost?
Project cost depends on coverage area, controls, surface type, electrical work, and installation requirements. Controls are sold separately. Contact ThermoSoft for help estimating your project.
What happens if the heating cable is damaged during installation?
Stop installation and contact ThermoSoft immediately for assistance. Do not continue installing a damaged heating cable.
Can heating cables overlap?
No. Heating cables must never overlap. Overlapping can severely damage the system and must be avoided by following the required spacing.
Can cold lead wires be cut?
A qualified licensed electrician may cut, extend, or splice cold lead wires in a junction box when allowed by the installation manual and local code. Contact ThermoSoft before making changes.
Can I cut the heating cable?
No. The heating cable must never be cut. Cutting the heating cable will destroy the system and void the ThermoSoft Warranty.
How does electric snow melting compare with hydronic snow melting?
Electric snow melting systems are often easier to install and can be more practical for many residential projects. Contact ThermoSoft for project guidance.

Snow Melt Controllers & Sensors

Customize temperature, moisture, and timing settings with a snow and ice melting controller. A ground or aerial sensor is required for a complete system. Some controllers are not rated for outdoor installation. Ground sensors are designed for flush installation with the outdoor heated surfaces. Contact an expert for guidance.
