I have oil to heat the home and a very large propane tank on the side of the house.
Do you think electric mats might be less expensive to run? I saw a system on the Internet that automatically turns on when the snow starts...and turns itself off as well.

I have thought about pavers too but I was cautioned they might be too uneven (rising and falling) given the amount of frost in the ground along with the heat dispersion.

Thanks for giving me your thoughts!
