FAQ
What do I need to send to get started?
Send a site plan or sketch with dimensions, the surface type (concrete, asphalt, pavers, or roof), panel details, the property address, and what you want heated. Message me before ordering so I can confirm scope.

Load calculations (NEC 426 and 427), heating cable or mat layout, heat trace for pipes and gutters, panel and breaker sizing, ground-fault protection, controller notes, and a single line diagram.
Do you install the system?
No. I design the system, and your electrician installs it. The plan gives them a clear scope, so you can compare quotes and avoid surprise add ons.

The plans are built for permit review, but requirements vary. Message me your address first, including whether a sealed submittal is required. Revisions for city or inspector comments are included.
