Winter can pose many problems for unprepared homeowners. If icy gutters have caused serious problems for you and your home this winter, there’s still time to fix the problem. Huff ‘N Puff is here to help you keep your home dry and comfortable in every season.

To protect your K-style gutter, Schenectady, New York, industry experts recommend installing Helmet Heat® and Gutter Helmet®. Here’s how these products keep your gutter system in excellent shape.

Heated Gutters

Every winter, your roof and gutters may be vulnerable to ice damming. This can happen when accumulated snow on a roof melts and refreezes at the eaves or gutters. It’s important to have a functioning gutter system in winter, otherwise, water can’t drain efficiently away from your household and ice will form. As your local gutter expert, we have partnered with the leading provider of gutter protection to solve this problem.

Helmet Heat is an ice reduction system that is designed to raise the temperature of the gutters to prevent the formation of icicles and ice dams. It uses self-regulating heating cables which can detect changes in temperature and respond accordingly. Helmet Heat greatly reduces the presence of ice dams and ice buildup on your gutters and at the edge of the roofline. It also prevents the formation of ice inside gutters and downspouts.

Gutter Helmet®

Another product that can keep your home dry and comfortable in winter is Gutter Helmet. As the leading gutter protection system in the country, it keeps trees, twigs and other debris out of the gutter system. With its patented nose-forward design, Gutter Helmet lets water flow freely.

Gutter Helmet has a textured and ribbed surface that increases water surface tension and tensile strength. It can withstand the heaviest rainfall, snow loads and extreme winds. It also has a heavy-duty mounting bracket which stays put in all kinds of weather.
