Heated Driveways & Snow Melting Systems Australia
Winter-Proof Your Driveway with Automatic Snow Melting Technology
When winter arrives in the Snowy Mountains, alpine Victoria, and the ACT highlands, snow and ice transform driveways into treacherous obstacles. Clearing them manually is dangerous, time-consuming, and damaging to your pavement. P.A.P. Heating Solutions offers a permanent solution with ELEKTRA heated driveway systems — intelligent, automatic snow melting technology that keeps your driveway clear, safe, and accessible throughout the coldest months.
Our heated driveway systems are designed specifically for Australian alpine and highland conditions. We've installed countless systems across the Snowy Mountains region and can help you escape the endless cycle of snow shovelling, salt damage, and safety hazards.
How Heated Driveway Systems Work
ELEKTRA heating cables are installed beneath your driveway surface — whether you're planning new construction or upgrading an existing drive. The VCD35 driveway heating cable is engineered to deliver consistent, reliable heat output across the full surface of your driveway or pathway.
The system is controlled by an OJ Electronics ETR2 intelligent controller, which uses dual sensors to monitor both ground temperature and moisture. When moisture is detected (snow, ice, or rain) and temperatures drop below your set threshold, the controller automatically activates the heating system. Once the surface is clear, it deactivates — you never think about it again.
This fully automatic operation means no manual intervention is required. Whether you're away for winter or simply sleeping in, your driveway remains safe and snow-free. The system works flawlessly under concrete, pavers, asphalt, and decorative finishes, making it ideal for both driveways and pathways around your home.
Why Choose P.A.P. Heating Solutions for Your Driveway Heating System
P.A.P. Heating Solutions is Australia's exclusive distributor of ELEKTRA floor heating products, manufactured in Europe to the highest standards. We've been serving the Snowy Mountains and surrounding regions since 1987, and we understand the specific challenges of Australian alpine winters.

Our team has extensive experience installing heated driveway systems in the exact conditions you face. We've completed case study projects in the Snowy Mountains that demonstrate the reliability and effectiveness of ELEKTRA systems in real-world alpine conditions. We know what works, what doesn't, and how to design a system perfectly suited to your property, climate, and budget.
The OJ Electronics ETR2 controller we recommend includes cutting-edge moisture and temperature sensing technology. This dual-sensor approach ensures your system operates only when necessary, minimising energy consumption while maximising safety and convenience.
Benefits for Families and Elderly Residents
For families with young children and elderly residents, heated driveways represent a significant safety upgrade. Winter driving conditions claim lives every year. Eliminating ice and snow from your driveway dramatically reduces slip-and-fall injuries, improves emergency vehicle access, and removes the physical strain of manual snow clearing — a known cause of cardiac events in older adults.
You'll also protect your vehicle and pavement. Ice melt chemicals corrode undercarriages and degrade concrete. With a heated driveway system, you eliminate these costs entirely while preserving the integrity of your infrastructure.
