ABOUT HEATED GUTTERS

HEATER CAP HAS A PROVEN TRACK RECORD OF PREVENTING ICE BUILD
UP IN THE GUTTERS

Roof damage is very common because of ice
dams. The cup-like shape of the gutters forms
an anchor for the ice to get up under the
first row of shingles, which is the first line
of defense for the roof. Ice pries up the
shingles wrecking them, and water works its
way through the roof into the attic and other
structures. Eventually, the ice melts and
causes water damage in the ceiling.</span >

A properly installed</span >Heater Cap</span >system will melt the snow and ice on a
continual basis eliminating hazards from
falling ice and slippery walkways. Heater
Cap is the best solution for these
problems.</span ></span >

HEATED GUTTERS

Heater Cap</span >is the best and safest solution to ice
formation in gutters. It can be installed
with or without gutter covers and also
adapts to most existing gutter protection.

HEATER CAP HAS A PROVEN TRACK RECORD OF PREVENTING
ICE BUILD UP IN THE GUTTERS.</span >

Heated gutter covers can be added to the existing
gutter protection system. Or if there isn’t a tree
issue, they can be installed on the roof, gutters,
and down spouts to protect against ice issues. There
are some systems available, but the patented Heater
Cap has several advantages:</span >

  • Self regulating, heavily insulated, heat cables
    that don’t get above 90 degrees Fahrenheit during
    the winter</span >
  • A heat dispersing panel to go over the cable to
    spread the heat out to melt large amounts of snow
    or ice</span >
  • The system is hardwired into its own separate
    circuit in the breaker box with a 20 or 30 amp GFI
    breakers with EPD (equipment protection device)
    components</span >
  • Heater Cap can be mounted in just the gutters and
    down spouts, or on the roof if organic debris is
    not an issue</span >
  • Heater Cap can be mounted on most metal panel
    gutter guards</span >
  • Heater Cap has been installed by a network of
    dealers since 2003. As with anything electrical,
    we have had time to work out the bugs in the
    system</span >

GENERAL ASKED QUESTIONS

  • HOW DOES HEATER CAP WORK?

    Heater Cap is a heating system that gently
    heats the ice and snow coming off of your
    roof. The system uses a combination of heat
    disbursement panels and self-regulating
    heating cable. The heating panels melt the
    ice and snow while a relay of heating cables
    keep the water melted and flowing through
    the gutters and down spouts. Heater Cap is
    safely hardwired into a circuit breaker to
    be turned on and off when needed. Heater Cap
    can be installed on the roof, in the gutters
    and down spouts or on top of gutter guards.
    In some cases it may be applied to
    underground draining systems.

  • WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE HEATER CAP OVER CONSTANT
    WATTAGE PRODUCTS?

    Heater Cap is more effective than constant
    wattage heat tapes and wires because it
    melts a larger area of ice and snow. Heater
    Cap is also safer because the
    self-regulating heat cable doesn’t get hot
    enough to start a fire and is properly
    grounded to avoid sparking, and is hardwired
    into the home. Also, Heater Cap is less
    visible than the zigzag configuration.

  • HOW MUCH WILL THE COST BE TO INSTALL HEATER
    CAP ON MY HOME?

    The expense is determined by a lot of
    different factors. Heater Cap is a
    professionally installed product with
    varying degrees of difficulty to install
    depending on your specific home. Call us
    today for a free in-home estimate.

  • HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO OPERATE HEATER CAP?

    Heater Cap draws the equivalent of having a
    hair dryer on. The amount of energy used
    will be determined by the length of heating
    cable and the outside temperature. The
    longer the run of cable, and the colder the
    outside temperature, the more it will cost
    to operate. Typically, the electric bills
    during the winter months can be $.50 to
    $2.50 more per day.

  • CAN I JUST HAVE A PLUG-IN ARRANGEMENT?

    Heater Cap should always be hardwired into
    the circuit breaker on a separate circuit in
    order to function properly and safely.

  • HOW DOES HEATER CAP MELT THE LARGE AMOUNTS OF
    SNOW AND ICE COMING DOWN THE ROOF VALLEYS?

    Roof valleys require a proactive stance. The
    cable and panels will be doubled up and
    mounted in the roof valleys (areas where two
    or more sections of roof join) to melt the
    ice and snow. Otherwise, the massive amount
    of ice and snow would overwhelm the system.
