remember all you need is a few degrees above freezing to melt snow and
ice.

The problem with hydronic is all the moving parts (heater, pump, etc.) and
dealing with changing the anti-freeze semi-annually.

Why would you have to change the antifreeze twice a year?



Consider we may only get a few snow storms each year and then nothing for a
few years, electric seems like a "less hassle" option. Out of sight until
needed, no maintenance.

Still, any snow melting option has got to cost more than even the best snow
blower.
