Self-regulating roof de-icing cable

Self-regulating roof heat cable is the optimum solution for heating gutters and drainpipes. It can also be run along the roof edge to help eliminate ice dams—the leading cause of roof damage and interior water intrusion. Install only in accordance with local/national codes and the manufacturer's instructions. Self-regulating cable to avoid possible mechanical damage from ladders, shovels, etc. This page complements—but does not replace—the official installation manual.

Affordable and widely recommended, self-regulating roof heat cable installs in gutters, downspouts, and eaves to help eliminate ice dams and dangerous icicles. All Warmzone heat trace cable withstands harsh weather, while the self-regulating conductive core increases output as temperatures fall and decreases as they rise—making the heat trace efficient and safe.

This construction also lets roof trace integrate with Warmzone's roof-heating panels—powder-coated aluminum profiles with pre-engineered channels that transfer heat efficiently along the roof edge. Panels come in multiple sizes and colors for both shingle and standing-seam roofs.

Roof-heating panels with self-regulating cable

Warmzone's aluminum roof-heating panels use precision channels to hold the cable and spread heat efficiently along the eaves, helping prevent ice dams and icicles. Panels are available in several sizes and colors; suitable for shingle or standing-seam roofs. (See the Roof Heating Panels page for details.)
