What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this ice dam prevention cable for effectively melting ice and stopping water leaks, with most reporting immediate results and properly draining gutters. Installation is consistently described as straightforward with included clips and clear instructions, though a few note the clips feel flimsy or the process is physically demanding on steep roofs. Users emphasize the heavy-duty construction and multi-season reliability, with many installing it on multiple properties. Some mention cable length may be insufficient for larger roofs. Despite minor installation challenges, most customers consider it essential winter protection that delivers reliable, long-term performance.

Works wonderfully!
Would RecommendWorks as pictured! I was amazed how such little heat going through the cord made such a difference. I put it up toward the end of winter, but it still did the job. I’ll definitely put it up before the first snowfall next time. All in all, I was first looking for something to cover more area, but I realized I just needed to get the valley portion of my roof and the gutter that led to the downspout for it to be most effective.

I removed the old de-icing system and the wire was super stiff! I was happy that the new wire was much easier to work with!

( that controller has wiring, which was short, both for the A/C cord ( using a preexisting outside outlet) and an extra wide eves, to get the temperature probe into the bottom of the gutter.
Be ready for snow melt.
Would RecommendLast year we had a large area on our roof above the gym entrance. This area laid heavy with ice. We have not had the need to use it yet. Just from the install, it will make the doorway much safer.

Melts snow/ice, but will also ruin roof
Would Not RecommendThis would work if you had ample space 2 mount it and some sort of different wire security system. However, be prepared to destroy shingles or some of your roofing material if you follow the instructions. The clips are very evasive and I did not want to risk ruining my roof for a heating kit. Ended up just laying the wire up there and then took it down after a few weeks and returned it because no way to secure it without destroying my roof. Definitely not worth the aggravation. The wire does get...
Gutter warming cable
Would RecommendThese cables have saved me from endless hours of clearing ice from my gutters. I now have started installing them in my Mother's gutters as well. This one is the third cable I've installed. Last year I needed to solve an ice issue in my 2nd story gutters. Not knowing the proper procedure, the 1st was Most difficukt because there were NO instructions in the package so it took me almost 4 hours as it tskes multiple sets of hands to work the cables ip the downspouts and ghru the getters. Now havi...
Works for several years.
Would RecommendGreat product - very effective - freeze a cup of ice around the end in your freezer, tear off the plastic cup, and drop the ice end down your downspout so it goes all the way to bottom.
