Heated Driveway in Laval, Montreal and the North Shore
Imagine a Quebec winter without shoveling your driveway. No chemical de-icer. No treacherous morning ice. That's exactly what a heated driveway provides: unmatched comfort, increased safety and much less maintenance.
How does a heated driveway work?
A heated driveway system uses electric heating cables or mats, or hydronic tubes (hot water), integrated under your driveway surface — whether asphalt or paving stones. When the temperature drops or snow falls, the system activates and melts snow and ice before they even accumulate.
Modern systems are fully automated thanks to built-in weather sensors. You don't have to do anything — your driveway takes care of itself.

Our installation process
The installation of a heating system is ideally done at the same time as your paving surface, avoiding the need to remove an existing surface. Our team installs the heating elements on the prepared foundation, connects them to the electrical panel or boiler, then proceeds with the asphalt or paving stone installation on top.
If you have an existing driveway, it's also possible to install a heating system during a resurfacing or complete reinstallation. We evaluate each situation individually.
Before and after: no more stressful mornings
Before installation, homeowners spend hours shoveling, spreading salt and watching for ice patches. After? They leave home safely, even after an overnight storm. It's an investment that truly changes daily life, especially for those with a long or sloped driveway.

A modern system consumes about 40-50W per square foot and only activates during precipitation thanks to built-in weather sensors. For a standard driveway, the electricity cost is about $300 to $500 per Quebec winter.
Can a heating system be installed on an existing driveway?
It's possible to install a heating system during a resurfacing or complete reinstallation of your driveway. Installation is ideally done at the same time as the new surface. We evaluate each situation individually.
