Oh, how I disagree.

There's nothing like sitting inside by the fire watching your neighbors

shovel
and freeze while your driveway is just wet.

No, I don't have one.....so close at one point, though. My old house had

a
very small driveway and it wouldn't have been bad to do. I ran the

numbers
and it would have cost less than $5K to install (the right way) and a
guesstimate of under $100/year to use. My current house has a 350'

driveway
and I don't know if Bill Gates could afford to heat that!


If I was pouring a driveway I'd probably spend a few extra dollars to plumb
it for heat or run a heating wire.

Personally I think using liquid would be better than electric because you
can use the return fluid to determine if you need more or less heat based on
it's temperature.
