Why not some PVC and plumbing a water cut off from the hot water system to cycle hot water through when you need it.
$100.00 PVC

Maybe $200.00 labor.
Yes, it does depend on where you hot water is located compared to the steps.
So, if you don't need it, the water in the pipes freezes, not only seizing the system, but also cracking the pipes AND the concrete? I don't think you could do it that way on-demand. There's a reason those systems are designed the way they are.
