Cost Savings

Delays in snow removal can indirectly and directly result in loss of revenue. With airports, shopping malls, and parking lots a delay in snow removal can result in tremendous loss of revenues in addition to the trucking costs. Although costs are of the most importance, speed of removal is equally so.

Snow melting is a viable cost effective alternative to trucking and can save municipalities and snow removal contractors 50% or higher off their regular snow removal budgets. The potential for yearly and future costs savings is astounding. In most cases if these savings were applied against the purchase cost, assuming the snowmelter operates for only 16 days per year, 12 hours a day and disregarding interest, the capital cost on an average machine would be recovered in 4 years or less.
