Looking for effective, affordable and fastest way to melt ice gutter roof ice on your Toronto homes? Heavenly Heat has the answer! Our quality, affordable floor heating systems and roof heater system will ensure that your roof will be quickly relieved of any snow and ice buildup, and remain that way for good.

When it comes to accumulated snow and ice buildup, we often think of it as snow and ice on the ground, covering our driveways, sidewalks, and generally making every step outside an adventure. After all, a Canadian winter wouldn’t be the same without it. While snow and ice buildup on the ground is definitely a constant nuisance in the winter months, it is a hazard that we are all well aware of. Most people, however, are unaware or remain unconcerned that there is another location where ice and snow buildup routinely occurs on their property: the roof. Snow and ice buildup on the roof of one’s home can cause many problems for homeowners if left untreated.

Snow and ice buildup on the roof can cause various problems to the occupants of the household, in addition to the structural integrity of the property itself. Buildup that accumulates during winter months can cause ice dams to form in the gutters, create dangerous icicles that may fall at any moment, and result in water damage that encourages mold growth. All of these problems become difficult and costly to repair over time.

Most removal methods requires manual labor and also eavestrough cleaning or the use of chemicals for complete elimination of the problem. Due to the precarious nature of the roof, it is necessary for most homeowners to hire professionals to undertake the snow removal process; however, this is often a difficult, time–consuming and ultimately temporary process that needs to be repeated every winter.

Heavenly Heat has a better way to treat this problem. Our patented system uses de–icing cables will eliminate the problem at its core by getting rid of any and all snow buildup through the simple application of heat, melting any snow or ice that might cause problems for the roof of your home. By simply applying heat to the area, snow and ice cannot build up — thereby eliminating the possibility of ice dams and icicles from forming, as well as accumulated water and frost damage.

Evaluating The Roof Before Installing Gutter Deicing System

Warm Roof – How it Works with Roof Heater

When poorly insulated, heat loss through the roof causes positive temperature on the roof surface under the heap of snow. This causes snow to melt, and the water collects in the cold roof, drains and freezes. A roof heater ensures snow melts away as soon as it lands, thus preventing leaks.

Cold Roof – How it Works with Roof Heater

When the roof is insulated properly, sunshine will melt the snow, and the water will drain to the areas of the roof where sunlight doesn’t get to. The water will then freeze again, and this will repeat. Over time, this occurrence will end up harming the roof and cause the gutters and downspouts to split from the roof. Roof heaters ensure snow melts and drains completely off the roof.

The installation of a roof heater starts with establishing an installation plan. You have to pick a starting point of the deicing system by locating the right placement of the outdoor electrical outlet. Caution must be taken to avoid doors, windows, high traffic areas and other distractions. The design will be determined by the roofing materials as well as the length of the overhang. You must always adhere to the instruction manual when coming up with an installation design. If your question is, can I put ice melt in my gutters? The answer is yes. We provide self-regulating electric cables for both roof and gutter heaters. Our roof and gutter deicing systems are ideal for both residential and commercial use. We guarantee optimal solutions for roof and gutter heating.

Roof and gutter deicing systems work best with a reliable automatic thermostat as well as a sensing device. The role of the sensor is to monitor temperature and moisture levels to ensure they are at the desired range. For outdoor mounted controls, the DS-series is the recommended automatic controller. The Commonbox-600 also works great. The ETO2 module that comes with ETOR roof sensor is perfect for indoor-mounted devices. If you go for the NAMSR-Kits, you don’t need control devices. We offer a full range of sensors, controllers and accessories to guarantee the best performance for roof and gutter heating.

Is it okay to overlap a cable over another run or to have the cable touch another portion of it?

No. Overlapping the cables will cause the system to overheat. Don’t allow portions of the cables to overlap or touch another deicing and/or heating cable.

Can you install the cable to remove ice dams that are already formed or to clear existing snow or ice from the roof?

It is not recommended to install the cable to remove ice or snow that has already formed or to clear existing snow or ice.

Can the cable be left on in warm weather?

The cable can be left on all year long. However, you must avoid operating the cable in warm weather (above 50 degrees F or 10 degrees C) to prevent overheating.

Can the heating element be cut to the desired length?

The Deicing Cable Kit cannot be shortened by cutting. It has a constant wattage heating element that cannot be altered in any way.

Can the product be supplied with 220-240V?

No. The Deicing Cable Kit has been rated for 120V. The system must also be grounded and be ground fault protected in order to comply with the local electrical codes.

Does it need a controller or thermostat?

Yes, it does. The Deicing Cable Kit requires to be connected to a controller/thermostat and must also be connected to a power outlet throughout the winter period or during a single snow event or when you need to de-ice manually.

How do you test a de-icing kit to make sure it is working?

First, uncoil the cable to ensure they are not touching or overlapping. Never plug the kit in until you have uncoiled it completely. Plug the cable in and in 5 minutes it should be slightly warm to touch. You can perform a resistance test using a digital multi-meter.

How do you estimate the length of the cable needed?

The length of cable that is needed will depend on the size of the roof or the total area of the roof that needs to be de-iced. You have to account for the downspouts, gutters, valleys, and dormers if they will be deiced too. You have to measure the dimensions of your roof when estimating the length of cable needed. Our team at Heavenly Heat will be happy to help with these measurements.
