Exceptional Features and Benefits of Helmet Heat®

By April 10, 2017October 18th, 2023No Comments

Ice dams are one of the top problems you have to deal with during the winter months. These are ridges of ice that develop at the edges of your roof due to improper ventilation and warm attic space. When not addressed immediately, the snowmelt can back up behind the dam and leak inside your home. This can inflict major damage to your property.

Fortunately, ABC Seamless offers a smart solution to minimize the development of ice dams. We can supplement Gutter Helmet®, the perfect substitute to a typical leaf filter, with Helmet Heat®. We discuss further:

How Does Helmet Heat Works?

Helmet Heat is an ice reduction system that lessens ice and snow build-up around the edges of your roof. This enables snowmelt to flow freely into your gutters and down the downspouts. It comes with the following features:

  • Self-Regulating Heat Cable. A heavy-duty heat cable with a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) over jacket is located at the center of the system. Its irradiated conductive core produces heat based on fluctuating temperatures. It is energy-efficient since it is a self-regulating heating device. All you need to do is to switch it on or off when needed.

  • Control Box Options. Choose from two durable weatherproof control/junction box options.

  • Safe to Use. Its cables won’t overheat, since it warms up enough to melt ice. They can sustain their temperature up to 150°F through the winter when necessary.

  • Neat Installation. We install this directly under your Gutter Helmet without roof clips or exposed wire in sight. This maintains a clean look on your roof line.

How Will It Benefit Homeowners?

Investing in Gutter Helmet and Helmet Heat can save you from costly repairs. It prevents your gutters to sag or break loose by melting snow right away. Furthermore, it reduces the formation of dangerous icicles that may fall anytime and injure unsuspecting passersby. By keeping your gutters efficient during winter, it will keep the vulnerable parts of your home damage-free. This makes it an excellent complementary piece for Gutter Helmet, which is an ideal alternative to an ordinary leaf filter.
