250’ Roof and Gutter Deicing Self-Regulating Heating Cable, 5W/ft., 240V

When ice and snow accumulate on a building’s roof or gutters, they can cause ice dams, which can lead to significant water damage requiring costly repairs. When used with a temperature/moisture sensor and an applicable control (sold separately), the Ice Shield Self-Regulating Roof & Gutter Deicing heating system can detect and begin melting snow and ice, creating a pathway for water to drain properly and avoid potential damage. The self-regulating cable, which fluctuates wattage per linear foot in response to the temperature outdoors, is highly energy efficient, which can save on operating cost.

With roof clips (sold separately), this heating cable can be used to create a zigzag pattern along the perimeter of a roof, where residual heating from the home is at its weakest, to prevent the formation of ice dams where they’re most likely to form (and cause the most damage). The cable can also be run through gutters and down downspouts to ensure the melted runoff doesn’t refreeze and cause further damage. The durable, thermoplastic outer-jacket makes this product impervious to the elements and it works with a wide range of roof materials like asphalt shingles, metal roofs, slate roofs, and more.

The Ice Shield roof and gutter deicing cable is also self-regulating. This means the power output (watts per linear foot) of the product will fluctuate based on the cable’s temperature. This is automatic and ensures both energy efficiency and low operating costs. It also helps prevent overlapped or criss-crossed cables from overheating. This particular cable has a nominal heat output of 5 watts per linear foot when the cable is at 50°F (10°).

As an example project, this 250’ length of 240V heating cable could be used to provide heating for a 50’ roofline with zigzag overhang coverage with a single run through the gutter and 2-3 downspouts. With the use of Power Connection Kit (SR-PWR-KIT) accessory, which is sold separately, it can be trimmed and end-capped to exact size by the installer at the jobsite.
