Just in time for winter, it’s Helmet Heat® to the rescue! With the arrival of colder weather comes the chance for powerful snowstorms and extensive damage to homes and property. Gutters may fill with ice and tear away from your home, ice dams can cause roof leaks, and icicles can form on eaves and create hazardous walkways and steps. An ice dam is a build-up of ice along a roof’s edge that can trap water and allow it to penetrate your shingles, causing serious leaks.
Many of these distressing winter problems – along with thousands of dollars in gutter cost and repairs – can be avoided with Helmet Heat®. Now is the time to get your home ready for the 2014-15 winter season, which the Farmers’ Almanac predicts will be bone-chillingly cold with above-average snowfall across much of the United States. If you are concerned about the potential costs of another severe winter, now is the time to get Helmet Heat® installed before snow and ice arrive.
Helmet Heat® is a self-regulating gutter heating system that significantly reduces the amount of ice buildup in your gutters. Helmet Heat® offers important advantages over traditional roof heating cables. Because Helmet Heat® automatically adjusts its heat output to the temperature outside, it is both effective and energy-efficient. It’s also nearly invisible: Helmet Heat® is designed to be concealed inside the Gutter Helmet® gutter guard system, so there is no unsightly exposed wire or ugly clips. Gutter Helmet® further protects your home from damaging ice formation because it installs right over your home’s existing rain gutter system to keep out leaves, pine needles and other debris that traps water.
When custom-fitted by professional installers, Helmet Heat® and the Gutter Helmet® gutter topper provide superior protection against the worst winter weather.
