When properly installed, heat coils work very well in melting the ice immediately around them, providing enough space for water to run off into your gutter. Take note that it doesn’t stop ice dams from forming, but they won’t block the flow of additional snow melt, and that’s what protects your roof. It’s important to bear in mind, however, that the performance and longevity of this system hinges on proper installation. Know that not all heat cables are the same, and they’re certainly not compatible with all roof, gutter, and downspout materials. You got to know which materials you have to ensure heat cables won’t cause damage or become a safety hazard. With this in mind, you can’t just get anyone to do the job. Or even if you’d been wanting to do the job on your own, nothing beats the knowledge and expertise professionals can offer – this will ensure both you and your property’s safety. We’ve been in this industry for many years now, and you can rest assured that our experienced professionals can identify the best products for your roofing needs and budget, and can install them right on a timely manner.
