I haven't but make sure you factor in operating cost and not just capital cost. I understand the heating requirements when it is -30 (or whatever coldest temperature we get snow at) out can be a lot, but never looked into it. I would wonder if there are smart systems that only turn on when it snows, with manual overrides, as you wouldn't want it on consistently I wouldn't think ($$$).
