Automatic heated driveway and radiant driveway systems for Big Bear Lake, Big Bear City, Fawnskin & the entire San Bernardino Mountains. Free quote. Serving since 1998.
A heated driveway — also called a radiant driveway — in Big Bear Lake isn't a luxury, it's a necessity. Living at 6,752 ft in the San Bernardino Mountains means dealing with some of Southern California's most extreme winter conditions. Your driveway becomes a safety hazard overnight.
Heavy wet mountain snow packs into dangerous ice overnight
Black ice on steep driveways is invisible until you're falling
Shoveling at high altitude strains hearts and backs
Steep San Bernardino Mountain driveways become impassable within hours
Freeze-thaw cycles crack concrete without proper drainage
We install radiant driveways in Big Bear Lake, Big Bear City, Fawnskin, Running Springs, Lake Arrowhead, Sugarloaf, and surrounding San Bernardino Mountain communities.
The heart of the San Bernardino Mountains gets 90+ inches of snow annually. Year-round residents and vacation homeowners deal with heavy accumulation from November through March — a heated driveway eliminates the daily shoveling grind entirely.
East of the lake, Big Bear City has many residential streets with steep driveways that become impassable overnight. A radiant driveway system keeps your property accessible no matter what the night brings.
On the north shore of Big Bear Lake, Fawnskin's dense forest canopy means snow accumulates faster and stays longer. With 100+ inches per year, a heated driveway is the difference between being snowed in and staying mobile.
A gateway community to Big Bear, Running Springs has steep residential roads that become dangerously icy within hours of a storm. A radiant driveway system automatically melts snow before it ever builds up.
Wet Sierra storm systems hit Lake Arrowhead hard — snow freezes quickly on winding mountain roads and lakefront driveways. A heated driveway ensures you can get in and out of your property safely all winter long.
One of the highest communities in the region. At 7,000 ft with 100+ inches of annual snowfall and steep grades, a heated driveway isn't a luxury here — it's an essential safety investment for every homeowner.
From residential heated and radiant driveway systems in Big Bear Lake to commercial snow melting, we have the right solution for your property.
Keep your entire driveway snow-free all winter long. Our electric and hydronic systems melt snow as it falls, keeping your surface safe and accessible.

Our radiant driveway systems work with all major surface types. Choose the surface that fits your style and budget.
01$1–$5 / sq ft
A durable, flexible option that handles cold weather well by expanding and contracting without cracking easily. Cost-effective but requires regular maintenance and seal coating.
02$4–$7 / sq ft
A popular, low-maintenance, and long-lasting choice. Offers a smooth, clean aesthetic. Can crack in extreme freeze-thaw cycles if not properly installed.
03$1–$3 / sq ft
An inexpensive, rustic, and low-maintenance option that is ideal for long driveways and cold climates — not affected by freezing.
04$10–$50 / sq ft
Highly customizable and durable, with lifespans up to 50 years. Offer high curb appeal but sit at the higher end of the price spectrum and take longer to install.
05Mid-range
A modern, low-maintenance, and permeable option. Porous, allowing water to flow to the water table. Resists weed growth and algae.
06Varies
Eco-friendly, allowing water to drain through the surface. Some designs allow grass to grow within the structure for a green, sturdy, and aesthetic look.

Every coverage option carries a different electrical load. Here's what your panel needs to handle for each setup.
Highest electrical demand. Full driveway plus walkway requires a dedicated 240V, 60–100A circuit. A panel upgrade is often needed for older homes.
Moderate electrical draw covering the full driveway surface only. Typically needs a dedicated 240V, 40–60A circuit. Compatible with most standard residential panels.
Reduced demand heating two tire strips plus the walkway. Usually runs on a 240V, 30–40A dedicated circuit with minimal impact to your existing panel.
Lowest electrical requirement — the most energy-efficient option. Two heated tire tracks run on a standard 240V, 20–30A circuit with no panel upgrade needed.
