I believe the fluid used is, or is similar in characteristic to ethylene glycol.

Theres several ways to keep concrete pads clear of snow. I don't remember them all, but talking with a mechanical contractor should get you some answers.

For now... wait till costs of electricity raises....

Personally if it works use it. Weigh the pros and cons with your needs and expectations of the system.

But we do lots of pipe tracing for the oil companies and they aren't going anywhere anytime soon.

Yes, Nat gas is much cheaper to run while it running, but the hydronic never turns off in the winter just idles (if you want a quick melt) when no snow in which you are paying for it to do that.
How can it run as needed unless you dont mind driving up and down a snowcovered driveway? do you know how long it would take to get it up to snowmelting temperatures from cold?
99% of commercial and industrial use electric because they can't afford the chance it freezes from slow warm up time and a lawsuit comes into play.
It has to idle all winter and ramp up when the snow falls, where as the electric is only on when it snows.
There are pro's and Cons to every system. electric is better for less snowfall and hydronic is good for lots of snowfalls do to start-up and idle times.

Supposed to be finishing up my Doctorate, but let's just say I've been taking a wee break from it while I allow my tuition fees to accrue astronomically. In the meantime, I'm back to working in advertising.
