Frigid temperatures put your gutters to the test. Precipitation that lands on your roof can form ice dams at the bottom of the roof, preventing your gutters from functioning properly. With Helmet Heat®, you can avoid these problems.

Read on to learn how you can benefit from this gutter protection service.

How Helmet Heat Works

The formation of ice dams during winter is a result of poor attic ventilation and clogged gutters. Snow that lands on the top of your roof will melt due to warmer temperatures in the attic. It will then refreeze in the form of an ice dam when it reaches the eaves, which is colder than the top of the roof. Ice dams can cause the gutters to sag. They can also cause damage to your roof.

Fortunately, our company provides a superior gutter cover that comes with a supplementary item to reduce the risk of ice dams. Gutter Helmet®, a smart alternative to ordinary gutter guards, is paired with Helmet Heat®, an ice reduction system. Helmet Heat features a heat cable that automatically warms up when temperatures outside reach a certain level, preventing snow from refreezing at the bottom of the roof.

Self-Regulating System

Helmet Heat’s heating cables automatically detect shifts in temperature and respond accordingly. You do not have to monitor the system at all; it is completely automatic. Helmet Heat provides just enough heat to prevent precipitation on your roof from freezing, so you don’t have to worry about energy waste.

Fits Right Under the Gutter Covers

This ice reduction system is hidden from plain view so it doesn’t obstruct your clean roof line. As it is situated directly beneath the gutter guards, it’s protected from damage.
