HeatTrak Heated Driveway Mat vs WarmlyYours PowerMat Snow Melting Mat

Buy the HeatTrak mat if you want snow melting this winter without tearing up your driveway. It lays on top, comes with a power unit and GFCI, and melts about 2 inches of snow per hour. The WarmlyYours PowerMat is the better long-term choice if you are pouring new concrete, asphalt or pavers, because it embeds under the surface and carries a 10-year limited warranty. Owners rate the HeatTrak highly, but it is a seasonal surface mat, not a permanent system.

• Choose the HeatTrak mat if you need deicing now on an existing driveway and do not want to resurface or hire an electrician for an embedded system.
• Choose the WarmlyYours PowerMat if you are building or replacing a driveway, walkway or patio and want heat buried under the surface with a long warranty.
