Heat Cable Installation
We specialize in installing heat cable on roofs and gutters. Our state-of-the-art systems prevent ice from forming on the eaves of your roof. When ice forms, it blocks melting water from leaving your roof, this is called an ice dam. When this happens the water will likely get through the roof, damaging your home or business within

What's the difference between Heat Cable, Heat Tape, and Heat Trace?
Honestly, there is not really a difference between these. The term “heat tape” is widely used, it is basically a ‘slang’ term, but it is really just another word for heat cable. Another common term that is used more when referring to pipe freeze protection is “heat trace”, also just another name for heat cable. We install Drexan heat cable. It is flexible enough for pipe trace along with roof and gutter application; it is flat or oblong in shape to contour along pipelines for maximum results. We specialize in roof and gutter installation. There are really only two types of heating cable. Constant Wattage Cable and Self-Regulating Heat Cable. They both serve a purpose for specific applications and they both have different heat output.
