Heated Roof and Gutter De-Icing

Heat cables, also known as roof de-icing cables, work by generating a controlled amount of heat to melt snow and ice on your roof and gutters. These cables are installed in a zigzag pattern along the roof edge and inside gutters, providing a clear path for water to flow away from your roof. By minimizing ice dams and ice buildup, heat cables reduce the risk of water damage, leaks, and structural issues caused by the weight of accumulated ice and snow.

The energy efficiency of heat cables can vary depending on the product and its quality. THE Heater Gutter Company uses high quality heat cables, which are designed for optimal performance and efficiency. These cables use a self-regulating technology, meaning they automatically adjust their heat output based on the surrounding temperature. This ensures they only use the necessary amount of energy to effectively minimize ice buildup. Home owners should expect an increase in their electricity costs during the winter months.

Heat cables are designed to be safe and effective for a wide range of roofing materials, including asphalt shingles, metal, slate, and wood shake. THE Heated Gutter Company ensures that the installation process is tailored to your specific roof type, taking into account any unique requirements or precautions. It is essential to choose high-quality heat cables, to minimize any risk of damage to your roofing materials. If you are unsure about the compatibility of heat cables with your roof, our team can provide a thorough consultation and assessment to address any concerns.

The durability of heat cables can vary depending on the product's quality and the installation process.
