HeatTrak mats melt up to 2 inches of snow per hour. If snowfall builds up faster than that, snow can accumulate while the storm continues, and the mats can catch up after it ends. Use that melting rate when planning coverage for your steps, walkway or entrance.
Each power supply supports a combined load of up to 14 amps. Add the amperage listed for every mat in your planned chain to check the total; the number of mats depends on their individual draw. Stair and walkway mats require a separately purchased power supply, while entrance mats include one.
Stair mats have both leads on the same side, with a longer output lead to reach the next step. Walkway mats have connections at opposite ends for building a path. Neither includes a power supply. Entrance mats include a power supply but have no output connection, so they work alone or last in a chain.
Yes. HeatTrak rates its mats to -8°F (-22°C). They heat to about 40°F (22°C) above the air temperature and melt up to 2 inches of snow per hour. HeatTrak notes they work best on concrete, and less efficiently on elevated decks or metal grates. Backyard Canada also tested an entrance mat through a Calgary winter, and it kept melting snow on the coldest days we saw.
In our experience they’re warm underfoot in most condition, making them a comfortable path from your backdoor to a hot tub or sauna, or a comfy place to stand outside while enjoying the outdoors.
Yes. HeatTrak residential mats plug into a standard 120V outdoor outlet, and each mat has an integrated ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) built into its plug. According to HeatTrak, the GFCI cuts all power if it detects a current leakage of more than 6 mA.
According to HeatTrak, its mats are certified by TÜV to UL 499 and certified to CSA C22.2. Each mat also has an integrated GFCI in its plug.
Backyard Canada offers shipping across Canada for HeatTrak snow melting mats. When planning your order, check whether you also need a power unit, controller or cable extender. Stair and walkway mats do not include a power supply; entrance mats include one.
The range includes wireless one-outlet and two-outlet remote controls, an Outdoor Smart Home Wi-Fi Wireless Outlet, an Automatic Inline Thermostat Extension Cable and a Thermostat & Snow Sensor Controller. HeatTrak’s wireless remotes support up to 15 amps per remote, and its inline thermostat switches the mats on below 35°F (about 2°C) and off above 50°F (10°C). The snow sensor turns the mats on when it detects snowfall.
