Product OverviewSkip the shovels with the HeatTrak HR10-30 Residential Snow-Melting Stair Mat. Sold individually, these HeatTrak stair mats are designed to be placed on your outdoor exposed steps during the winter time to melt snow and ice that has accumulated on those stairs. The mats plug into each other and ultimately into a standard US 120V outlet. These steps are ten inches wide by 30 inches long, providing ample coverage for any set of stairs that you may have. These mats are made of a plastic material and can melt up to two inches per hour of snow/ice accumulation. These mats can be used on any type of outdoor steps including concrete and wood steps.Pricing and Potential UsesThese stair mats cost $59.99 per mat. The standard wood deck has between 5-10 steps. Therefore, you can expect to spend between $300-600 to cover all of your steps. However, when considering the price, consider the cost of medical bills if you slip or fall, vet bills if your dog is injured on slippery steps, and the time spent shoveling or applying melting agents to those steps. Although I ended up spending $600 on these steps, I have no buyer’s remorse and neither will you.The potential applications for these mats are endless. You could utilize them for a wooden deck, or you could use them for steps to a concrete patio. These steps are very durable, so they can be walked on by dogs or people. These are designed for residential usage only, so it would not be recommended to use them at a high traffic business because they are not designed for that level of usage.My ExperienceI purchased ten of these mats for the wood deck in my backyard at my home. The reason I purchased them was because I wanted my dogs to have safe access to our backyard from our all-season porch. These steps are easy to setup, allowing for setup within minutes. I live in Minneapolis, so you can rest assured that these stair mats can hold up to extreme cold (temperatures as low as -30 Fahrenheit) and large amounts of snow and ice. Last week, we received nearly a foot of snow. I checked the mats during the heaviest period of snow and they were completely uncovered. In the three months I have owned these mats, they have completed the job every time. I highly recommend this product.

These are expensive, there’s no getting around that. We live in the Buffalo area, so we are no strangers to snow. I placed these by my sliding glass door where I let my dogs out, and connected a path down the stairs from my deck. They work great and it’s so wonderful to be able to let the dogs out without snow falling into the kitchen when I open the sliders, and I never again have to bundle up to clear a path to the backyard. Wow! Amazing. There are a couple inconveniences about these mats though that mainly have to do with setting them up. First of all, the doorway mats don’t have a connector feature so you can’t connect them to the pathway mats or the stair mats so we had to run a separate extension cord. Secondly, they take a little more power than what a typical outdoor outlet can handle. We tripped the breaker a bunch of times until we realized we needed to use two different outlets to accommodate the whole pathway. Our entire path includes a doorway mat (30x40) which is in one outlet, and two pathway mats (20x30), connected to three stair mats on a separate outlet. At our front door we also have a large doorway mat (30x40) and I can’t have all my Christmas lights plugged into the same outlet as the mat without tripping the breaker. It’s not ideal but the Christmas light issue is an inconvenience for a month, the mats are a huge convenience for three or four months. I’m sure I could have an electrician beef up my amperage, and I may do that, but then I’m making the mats even more expensive. First world problems. All things considered, I’m really happy with these mats. Would definitely do it again even knowing the inconveniences. Oh…added bonus…put a water bowl for the dogs on a mat and it keeps the water from freezing.

I ordered these three small mats to use on the steps in conjunction with three large mats on my icy deck. All six mats are connected in series and powered by the power unit that is required for their use. Like the large mats, these mats are textured to provide safe footing even when wet. The mats are very effective at melting an inch or two of ice/snow and keeping them ice-free as long as they are powered up. If there's more than an inch or two of ice/snow on the mats, the excess should be removed to allow the mats to work in a timely manner. Highly recommended for safety.

These work. I read all the instructions carefully and decided not to use one on my front porch, because they clearly state they aren't designed for packages to sit on them (even when they are off). They are engineered to be outside all winter, though.I worked in the electrical biz and they did a good job explaining the amp calculations. The short story is that each full-size mat uses ~5 amps. Most household circuits have 15 amp or 20 amp breakers (older homes may have 10). You don't want to exceed 15 amps, because your wiring may not be rated for higher current draw, so don't daisy chain a bunch of them. The stair mats are designed to work with a larger mat as a parent (they draw less current).Make sure you have GFCI outlets with in use covers (typically a clear plastic bubble cover that closes but has a place for the cord to descend underneath. I also bought some GFCI type on-off switches, because there's no real way to shut off the mat unless you unplug it (exposing plug to moisture) OR you use the mat's GFCI to switch it on-off. GFCIs aren't designed for on-off switching (neither are the ones on your porch).My GFCI on my front porch is nuisance tripping, so I'll have an electrician look at that before I use the stair/walkway mat I got. The 2 larger mats I put on my back patio (1 in front of the grill, and 1 right outside the patio door). I'm pleased.

The only thing you have to be careful of is if there is a lot of snow, the melt rolls off the pads and freezes around them. So when you walk on them, step directly on the pads and avoid the surrounding ice.

This is a good buy! A little pricy but fit the spa step and keep it warm and without ice and water for safety. I feel more safe getting in and out of the spa during the winter. Better safe than sorry. What a nice idea! Thank you. I also have the carpet that goes with it.

Un peu cher, car il faut acheter les prises séparément, mais fonctionne bien dans l’hiver québécois, mais il faut être proactif et les brancher des heures avant le verglas et en temps très froid.

Very expensive product that does not keep up with Atlantic winters. Creates ice doms over top of the pad and we still have to break it and shovel it during bad weather. Mild weather and flurries it works wonderful. In picture you can see the pads, but we had to shovel them first and break up the ice over top of them. The pads are on as seen by the red dot on the last pads plug. I had more steps to do, but I’m not going to be buying more.
