How is a Hott-Wire system designed and sized?

All Hott-Wire systems are custom-designed to ASHRAE standards — the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Engineers’ snow melting data provides region-specific watt-per-square-foot targets that account for local snowfall rates, ambient temperatures, and wind exposure. Cable spacing is calculated to meet the required watt density for the installation region. The MI variant must be ordered to exact length once the design is finalised; the self-regulating variant can be cut to length on site.
