Harsh winter elements can be hard on your home. Fall is an excellent time to gear up your property for snowy and icy conditions. One often overlooked aspect of winter preparation is ensuring your gutter system’s integrity and functionality.
Installing Helmet Heat before winter is one of the best ways to keep your gutters efficient and reduce the likelihood of ice dams. Read on to learn why.
What Is Helmet Heat?
Helmet Heat is a premier solution for homeowners looking to prevent ice dam formation. They feature self-regulating heating cables that adjust their heat output based on the surrounding temperature. These cables can prevent freezing without the risk of overheating.
When combined with Gutter Helmet®, Helmet Heat offers comprehensive protection against ice dams and clogs caused by leaves and debris. These heating cables are installed beneath gutter guards, preventing ice formations without compromising your property’s appeal.
Did you know Helmet Heat uses less energy compared to whole-roof heating systems? It focuses heat solely where it’s needed, making it a cost-effective option. With Helmet Heat, you can avoid the dangers and inconveniences associated with climbing ladders in the cold to remove ice and snow from gutters.
Why Install It Before Winter?
Ice dams form when melted snow refreezes at the edge of your roof, preventing water from draining properly. This can lead to water backing up under your shingles, causing leaks, structural damage and even mold growth inside your home. You can prevent them by keeping the temperature of our roof’s edge and gutters above freezing. Helmet Heat is specifically designed for this purpose. Its self-regulating heating cables automatically adjust to ambient temperatures, ensuring your seamless gutters and downspouts remain ice-free throughout winter.
Installing Helmet Heat before the cold weather sets will give you peace of mind. It will also save you from the hassle of dealing with ice dams and their aftermath during the peak of winter. Moreover, it’s crucial to hire an experienced local contractor like Barry Best Seamless Gutters for its installation. You can count on us to install your Helmet Heat system promptly and efficiently, providing optimal performance throughout winter.
