Self Regulating Heating Cables for Roof Ice Dam Prevention
For some customers, a self regulating heat cable in the gutter and downspout is all that is needed. These roof heat cables control their own temperature or "self regulate" through the core which adjusts the electrical flow as it warms to its desired temperature. We use only top-tier commercial grade self regulating heat cables and customarily stock multiple voltage and wattage selections for quick installation. Our heat cables are CSA (C,US) and UL listed. This means peace of mind.
Self regulating heat cables for roof and gutter are more efficient than the constant wattage heat cables (thin, round heat tape) found at the hardware store. These are typically used by homeowners who are willing to replace them season after season and put up with their ineffectiveness. Their lack of efficiency and zig-zag installation means spending up to 70% more to operate.
For minor ice dam problems resulting from gutter ice build up, install our heat cable in the gutter bottom combined with an aluminum cable cover bracket for maximum heat distribution.
