Goodbye ice dams on your roof and in your gutters. We are a direct-to-consumer manufacturer with over 25 years in the business of ice dam prevention. Don't buy cheap cables (yes, we mean you, EasyHeat). Our Self-regulating heat tape can be overlapped during installation, unlike the cheap stuff, which will burn out when it happens to overlap. Our heat cable generates 9.6 watts per foot of output at 32 degrees, creating a clear melted pathway through any ice or snow on your roof. This is not your grandpa's heat cable. This is serious stuff and holding it in your hand will tell you as much. Our pre-terminated, plug-in ready heat cables are ideal for people with areas on their home that suffer from reoccurring ice dams. HeatTapePro is a worry-free, long term solution to your ice dam problems. Because this product is self-regulating, it 'asks' for more energy as it gets colder outside and less energy when it's warmer. Why have heat cables running when it's 45 degrees outside? That is how cheap, constant wattage heat cables operate. Not good. HeatTapePro is jacketed with a commercial grade fluoropolymer and comes standard with a flame retardant thermoplastic interior jacket. Our 16 gauge heating wires are 200% thicker than the conductors found in cheap, constant wattage cables like EasyHeat. Thicker conductors mean greater heating efficiency, more melting power and longterm cable integrity. And speaking of quality, our unheated lead 14 gauge wire is 48" and comes standard with an illuminated plug that confirms your cable is working. Our self-regulating heat tape, also called heat cable, can be used for a number of applications beyond ice dam prevention, including pipe freeze protection. It's suitable on pipes as small as ½" in diameter and can be used on both metal and plastic pipes. HeatTapePro does not require the use of a thermostat for efficient operation. Be sure to order recommended installation accessories including Roof Clips and Downspout Hangers if needed.
