August Is the Smartest Time to Plan Radiant Heat Projects

For contractors, timing is critical—and August delivers a distinct advantage.

Whether you’re preparing a job site for in-slab floor heating or lining up a snow-melt system for winter, August offers optimal conditions to plan, source, and install radiant heat systems without the seasonal bottlenecks.

From new construction to retrofit applications, this is the time to get ahead of the curve and set your projects—and your clients—up for long-term success.

Why Plan Now? Four Key Advantages

1. Secure Materials and Lock in Pricing

Lead times tighten and pricing fluctuates when the heating season ramps up. By starting now, you can:

  • Lock in current wholesale rates
  • Reserve materials while stock is strong
  • Avoid seasonal shipping delays and backorders

Planning in August protects your margins—and ensures your jobsite stays on schedule.

2. Capitalize on Ideal Install Conditions

Warm-weather installations offer real advantages for crews:

  • Concrete cures evenly for in-slab applications
  • Mats and cables install smoothly in dry, stable environments
  • Roof work and open trenching are safer and more efficient in summer

Avoid weather-related downtime and streamline your workflow while the forecast is still in your favor.

3. Design Without Rush or Compromise

When you’re not racing the first freeze, you have time to fine-tune every aspect of the system:

  • Zone planning for targeted heat
  • Exploring the benefits of electric vs. hydronic
  • Smart control integration for performance and efficiency

ProLine’s in-house design team provides free layout services and technical guidance tailored to your application—so you can deliver the best possible outcome for your client.

4. Deliver Systems That Are Winter-Ready—On Time

When jobs get pushed to late fall, there’s risk: colder temps, limited access, and missed deadlines. But with August prep, you’ll be positioned to:

  • Complete radiant floor installs before final finishes
  • Activate snow-melt systems ahead of first snowfall
  • Prevent ice dams with roof de-icing before gutters freeze

It’s a smoother path to satisfied clients—and repeat business.

May Means Melting—And It’s the Perfect Time to Line Up Snow-Melt Projects

As spring settles in and the last snow piles vanish, it’s time to shift from winter cleanup to summer project planning. But seasoned contractors know: if your clients are thinking about next winter, the time to act is now.

Demand for radiant snow-melting solutions is already heating up, and securing systems early ensures your projects stay on track.

Spring Thaw, Summer Build

A harsh winter doesn’t just beat up driveways—it takes a toll on sidewalks, entryways, parking areas, and outdoor surfaces. As property owners start planning resurfacing, repairs, or new pours, it’s the perfect opportunity to recommend integrating a radiant snow-melt system.

Spring and early summer offer prime conditions for installation. With the ground thawed and flexible construction schedules, you can install heating systems with minimal weather delays before the late-season rush.

Design Without Compromise

Early planning allows you to customize layouts to meet each project’s needs. Whether you’re designing a commercial driveway, a sidewalk network, a parking structure, or a large outdoor gathering space, ProLine’s experts can help you create an efficient, cost-effective solution.

Working with ProLine early means:

  • Custom designs to heat only key areas like tire lanes, stairs, ramps, or ADA access points
  • Proper insulation placement to boost energy efficiency
  • Strategically positioned control panels and sensors ensure reliable operation

You’ll also have access to full system drawings, load calculations, and on-call technical support to keep your projects running smoothly.

Beat the Rush—and Material Price Hikes

As construction season hits full stride, material prices are moving. Ordering your snow-melt systems now locks in today’s pricing and helps ensure you have all the necessary components when it’s time to build.

Avoid the fall bottleneck and give your clients the peace of mind of having winter-ready surfaces long before the first snow flies.

Systems That Work Across Every Application

ProLine’s radiant heat systems are versatile, durable, and built to handle various surfaces and traffic loads.

Our snow-melt solutions install cleanly under:

  • Concrete
  • Asphalt
  • Stone or brick pavers
  • Large outdoor plazas and commercial decks

Whether you’re working on a corporate campus, municipal sidewalks, hospital entryways, or parking structures, ProLine has the products and expertise to match.

Get Ahead, Build Better

Installing a snow-melt system isn’t just a luxury—it’s a practical upgrade that improves safety, reduces maintenance headaches, and boosts property value.

Contractors who offer these solutions show clients they’re thinking long-term and position themselves as trusted partners, not just builders.

Spring Is the Best Time to Install Radiant Heating Solutions

Winter might be ending, but now is the perfect time to install snow-melt systems, pipe tracing, and heat tape. If you’re a contractor or landscaper, offering these upgrades to your clients can save them from winter headaches—and boost your business.

ProLine Radiant: The Best in Wholesale Snow Melting and Roof De-icing Solutions

Winter brings beautiful snowfall, but it also comes with the challenges of snow-covered driveways, icy walkways, icicles, and potentially dangerous and damaging ice dams on roofs. Dealing with these hazards can be time-consuming and exhausting, but ProLine Radiant offers top-quality and cost-effective solutions.

With wholesale pricing, industry-leading products, and premier support services, ProLine Radiant provides reliable, fully automated snow melting and roof de-icing systems that eliminate snow and ice without the need for shoveling, salting, or harsh chemicals. Plus, every system comes with free installation training, professional design, and technical support, ensuring a seamless experience from start to finish.

The Benefits of ProLine Radiant Snow Melting and Roof De-icing Systems

1. Heated Driveways: Say Goodbye to Shoveling

Few things are more frustrating in winter than waking up to a snow-covered driveway. Shoveling can be exhausting; snowplow services are costly, and ice-melting chemicals can damage concrete and nearby landscaping. A ProLine Radiant heated driveway system eliminates these problems by melting snow and ice cleanly, quietly, and automatically.

How the Automated System Works:

  • ProLine’s high-performance heating cables are embedded beneath the surface of your driveway, whether it’s concrete, asphalt, or pavers.
  • When a snowstorm is detected by the system’s snow sensor (activation device), the device sends a signal to the small controller (usually mounted on a wall in the garage). The control unit sends power to the embedded heating elements, quickly warming the surface to prevent any snow from accumulating. Another advantage of this automated system is that it is maintenance free.
  • Once the driveway is clear, the system remains on for a few more minutes to ensure that the driveway is dry. The “afterrun” function eliminates the chance of thin sheets of ice from forming, which would create a potentially hazardous situation for pedestrians. This valuable safety feature helps to ensure that the driveway remains clear and dry, despite the weather conditions.

Needless to say, these automated systems are very effective, and extremely energy-efficient. (Automated snow melting systems can also be activated manually if desired. For example, if a windstorm hits a day or two after a heavy snowfall, snowdrifts may form in the driveway. If that’s the case, the system can be turned on to melt the snowdrift, or clear any patches of ice.)

Why Choose a Heated Driveway?

  • Increases Safety – No more slippery surfaces help to prevent falls and injuries.
  • Saves Time – No shoveling, no plowing, no salting. (This is also good news for those with back problems.)
  • Protects Your Driveway – Prevents damage from freeze-thaw cycles and corrosive de-icing chemicals.
  • Low Maintenance – Once installed, the system operates automatically with no upkeep required.

2. Roof De-icing Systems: Protect Your Home from Ice Dams

Ice dams are a major cause of winter roof damage. When heat escapes from a home into the attic, the warm air can melt the bottom layer of snow on the roof. The water typically runs down the roof slope, but refreezes as it approaches the colder eaves (because the heat from the attic doesn’t reach the overhanging eaves). This causes the runoff to freeze and creates a barrier. Over time this process continues, and the barrier grows into a ridge of ice, which prevents any runoff from reaching the roof gutter. Additional melted snow begins to pool behind the ice ridge, and that water can seep into tiny cracks in the roof or shingles. When it refreezes at night, the ice expands, which can further jeopardize the integrity of the roof. Eventually, this can lead to roof leaks, and even cause water damage inside the home. Ice dams are the single most expensive and prominent problem affecting roofs today.

A good de-icing system can prevent ice dams from forming. ProLine offers a variety of affordable solutions. The roof de-icing systems are designed to facilitate runoff, and prevent ice dams from forming along the eaves or in roof valleys. Keep your roof safe all year long with an efficient, maintenance-free de-icing system.

Two Proven Roof De-icing Solutions:

  • Self-Regulating Heat Cable – Installed along roof edges, gutters, and downspouts, this durable cable adjusts its heat output based on the surrounding temperature. The cable is installed to provide channels for the runoff to reach the roof gutter.
  • Low-Voltage Roof Heating Panels – A thin, energy-efficient heating system that is installed under shingles or metal roofing to provide consistent, even heating. This system ensures that the entire roof eave is free of snow and ice.

Why Invest in a Roof De-icing System?

  • Prevents Costly Roof Repairs – Eliminates ice dams before they can cause damage.
  • Improves Safety – No more hazardous icicles form along the roofline.
  • Keeps Gutters and Downspouts Clear – Prevents heavy blockages and water buildup.
  • Extends the Life of Your Roof – Protects shingles, flashing, and structural components from damage.

3. Walkway, Stairs, and Sidewalk Heating

Beyond driveways and roofs, ProLine Radiant’s snow melting systems can also be installed in walkways, stairs, ramps, and sidewalks, ensuring that all outdoor surfaces remain clear and safe.

Key Benefits:

  • Prevents Slips and Falls – Keeps paths clear for you, your family, and visitors 24/7.
  • Enhances Curb Appeal – A snow-free entrance makes your home look well-maintained.
  • Can increase Property Value – Heated sidewalks, porches, and walkways can add a premium touch to any property.

At ProLine Radiant, you get the best products at unbeatable prices. By offering wholesale pricing, ProLine ensures that builders and homeowners get the most value for their investment without compromising on quality.
