Default heated driveway

I am looking for information on installing a water heater to provide
heat to my driveway. The former owner removed all the michanical
equipment just before the bank forclosed. I don't have a choice about
heating or not heating as the driveway is too steap to plow, snowblow,
etc. The toubing installed in the driveway is in good shape and the
cannections are in the garage, I just dont know what to hook to them,
Any help will be apreciated.


These systems run anti-freeze, not water. Get it done properly or the
tubing will burst, I heat my garage floor with water and never had a
freeze up, but a driveway would have to be on glycol. A neighbor down
the street has a heated driveway, he still has to shovel so I'm not so
sure they are worth it in the upper midwest. But maybe in the lower
midwest they would be just the ticket.
