A Norwegian Homeowner's Solution for a Safe Driveway in Winter

In Molde, Norway, a homeowner faced the persistent challenge of maintaining a safe and accessible driveway during harsh winter months. Traditional snow removal methods, such as manual shoveling and chemical de-icing, proved labor-intensive and potentially harmful to the environment. Seeking a more efficient and sustainable solution, the homeowner turned to DEVI's electric heating systems.

Challenge

The primary concern was to ensure continuous, safe access to the garage and house entrance without the need for constant manual intervention. The solution needed to be reliable, energy-efficient, and capable of withstanding Norway's severe winter conditions.

Solution

To address this, 160 square meters of DEVIsnow™ heating mats were installed across the entire driveway and entrance areas. These mats are specifically engineered for outdoor applications, providing effective snow and ice melting to keep surfaces clear and safe. The installation was executed by Holms Elektro AS, a certified installer with extensive experience in professional setups. Remarkably, the entire system was installed in just two hours, demonstrating the efficiency of both the product and the installation process.

Outcome

Post-installation, the homeowner experienced a significant transformation. The driveway remained consistently clear of snow and ice, eliminating the need for manual snow removal or chemical treatments. This not only enhanced safety but also provided peace of mind during the winter season. The DEVI electric heating system proved to be a practical, cost-effective solution, showcasing how modern technology can address common winter challenges efficiently.

This case exemplifies the effectiveness of DEVI's outdoor heating solutions in providing maintenance-free, energy-efficient snow melting for residential properties.
