Description

When ice and snow accumulate on a buildingā€™s roof or gutters, they can cause ice dams, which can lead to significant water damage requiring costly repairs. Thankfully, WarmlyYours offers systems for deicing roofs and gutters before problems occur. When used with temperature and moisture sensors, a WarmlyYours Ice Shield Roof & Gutter Deicing systems can detect and melt snow and ice, creating a pathway for water to drain properly and avoiding potential damage. WarmlyYours offers deicing systems in different voltages, specifically calibrated for different applications and types of structures to get the job done correctly and safely. Whether your installation is for residential, commercial, or industrial buildings, WarmlyYours has the deicing system to perfectly match your needs. When you purchase a deicing system from WarmlyYours, not only do you gain the comfort of knowing that your buildingā€”whether itā€™s a home, store, or factoryā€”will be safe from the elements, but you can also rest easy knowing that a deicing system is a great way to prevent potential damage caused when ice builds up and traps water. Ice, snow and trapped water can cause huge problems, leading to leaks, mold or even roof collapse if too much accumulates. No

Customer Questions & Answers

Ice Shield: Self-Regulating Roof and Gutter Deicing Systems has 23 Questions and Answers.

Don't see the answer you're looking for? Post your question
Can the heating element be cut to length or shortened?

Our self-regulating heating product is designed to be cut to length at the jobsite by an installer where it can then be end-capped with accessories (sold separately).
However, our constant wattage kits contain heating elements that cannot be shortened or altered in any way.

Do radiant heating products have polarity?

Electric-resistance heating cables and systems have no polarity. This includes all current WarmlyYours heating elements.

Why a GFEP (GEFP, RCCB, or heat trace circuit breaker) and not a GFCI breaker for WarmlyYours outdoor deicing and snow melting systems?

This National Electric Code (NEC) required protection for fixed outdoor deicing and snow-melting equipment may be accomplished by using circuit breakers equipped with ground-fault equipment protection (GFEP) of 30 mA. It is important to understand that this required equipment protection is not the same as a 5 mA GFCI used for personal protection.

Can the cable be left on in warm weather or all year long?

We do not recommend leaving the cable on all year long. It's an unnecessary use of energy to run the cable during warm weather and it could actually cause the heating cables to overheat if they're left on during very warm weather.Ā

How do I estimate the roof and gutter deicing cable length needed?

Ā Cable length needed depends on the sizes and areas of the roof that need to be deiced (roof with gutter, downspouts, valleys, and/or dormers). Our best recommendation is for you to give us a call (1-800-875-5285) and we can help you identify what measurements will need to be taken. Alternatively, you can
measure the dimensions of the aforementioned areas and refer to the installation manual to get an idea of how much cable you'll need.Ā

So glad I went with WarmlyYours

William M., Three Lakes, WI on 01/09/2024

I was slow to decide on a company to help me with my metal roof deicing project. I had a budget I needed to stay under. I wanted to do the work myself including the Electrical (my Dad is an electrician retired but would help). I decided on WarmlyYours because they had the best help video's, and staff to help plan and install my project. I didn't think I would get it up and running this year because of my late start. A slow start to winter let me get one leg of a two leg plan done up and running. Now we finally have snow and my one leg works great. This spring laying out the other leg will be easy (and warmer) this spring.

Roof Valley ice buildup

George E., Exmoor, NB on 11/24/2023

After talking with a support person I installed a single run up one valley to the peak and down the other. Weā€™ve only has a couple of snow falls but so far it appears to be doing the job of preventing ice build up. The heat cables are well made and look like they will stand up in a harsh Canadian winter. Finally a system that will work on a steel roof. Friendly and helpful people to deal with. A little pricy but well worth it with the warranty. Satisfied so far.

Excellent support, great product

David T., Woodland Hills, UT on 11/20/2022

Everything arrived well packaged and well documented. It was easy to connect and put terminators on the self regulating wire and the roof clamps were nicely engineered. I have already used the system several times and everything works great. Unfortunately the adhesives failed completely, even though they were applied with an air temperature of 65 and a roof temperature of 85 to a clean, new roof. I will probably have to use tar to reattach them in the spring.

Roof heat cables, Yes!

Gigi D., La Grange, IL on 02/11/2022

Product works great. WarmlyYours terrific; prepared me with all the necessary information for the installation and back end support if we needed it at the time of installation. Iā€™ll be back.

Amazing Products and Customer Service

Anna H., Elburn, IL on 09/24/2021

I have been a customer with WarmlyYours for about a year now, and i wanted to compliment the amazing products and customer service. Customer Service Representative, Troy, has been so helpful and prompt, it makes ordering a breeze

Installed myself, works great!

Michael S., Ellicott City, MD on 02/15/2021

I purchased a Transfer Switch box (12 x 120 volt), a snow sensor, and an ice sensor, and installed them myself as per instructions. I had a couple questions (how to connect two "yellow wires" and where to best position the snow sensor), both answered immediately by a quick phone call. I couldn't be happier.

The 5 stars is not for the product but the "Customer Service"

Chuck R., Rochester, NY on 02/15/2021

The 5 stars is not for the product but the "Customer Service". I could not use the product purchased, however, the return process was very easy, which I appreciated.

Order issues lead to some delivery delays

Ron H., Fond Du Lac, WI on 02/15/2021

The response to correct the issues was great. All is well.

Finally Fixed!

Robert S., Glens Falls, NY on 12/23/2019

Jenn West did an excellent job. Excellent product. Finally a fix after 37 yrs of ice on slate roof and significant water damage.

Response from WarmlyYours:

Robert, thank you for sharing your success story! I'm happy to hear that our roof and gutter deicing product did the trick! Here's to an ice-free winter! - Julia B (Owner)
