From the Manufacturer
It's not those big icicles that do the real damage, it's the ice you don't see that backs up in gutters and under shingles. When the ice melts it can really do a number on repair costs. Easy Heat ADKS roof de-icing cable prevents this water and ice damage by providing a clear path for melting water to flow off the roof. The versatile design adapts to most roof and gutter configurations. This product is intended for the sole use of preventing ice dams from forming on inclined roofs with tab shingles, in gutters and downspouts. This roof de-icing cable is not intended for use as a snow melting system to clear roof of ice and snow. This system can be installed with confidence that it will operate for years without requiring service. All components are made of the highest quality material and are tested during critical points in the manufacturing process.

Had this heat tape for several years still going strong.

I've been using Easy Heat roof de-icing cables for 20+ years. These cables work perfectly to prevent ice dams. The first set I installed lasted over 18 years (!'m told by an electrician who professionally installs Easy Heat cables that they usually last about 10 years depending upon how much summer sunlight they're directly exposed to). I've just installed new sets after having my roof re-shingled. Due to the rough winter last year, I've also added cables over areas of the roof not previously covered with the cables in order to prevent any ice dam formation in those locations in the future. The installation instructions are extensive and very clear (you can download them from the web and review them beforehand). The instructions provide guidance on how to measure areas of your roof where you want to install Easy Heat cables so you can order cable sets of the correct length. Installation is straightforward. Easy Heat uses a clip that slips onto the edge of shingles in order to hold the cable in place. Other cable systems sometimes use clips that are nailed to the roof which was certainly nothing I wanted to do. Easy Heat clips are easy to slip onto the edge of the shingle without damaging it. I recommend Easy Heat cables for home use.

After one season of use I have to say that this works as described. Installation went well and despite an extremely cold and snowy winter I did not get any buildup of ice where this was used. Knocking it down one star because the clips which hold the cable in place dislodged twice and I had to climb the ladder and reattach. I've got a relatively new 30 year architechural shingle and the initial bite seemed great but didn't hold at every point in the long term. Maybe putting them on in December doesn't give time for the shingles to adhere best? Not sure, but I'll be straightening it all out once it warms up because this still saved me a lot of headaches.Oh, and you get an abundance of clips with your initial order, which would be great if you can remember where you put the extras. I can't. Guess I'll buy a bag to be sure I've got good ones in place next winter.

Great product came in the same box as my other one I bought from Lowes but a much better price. I have installed both one on each valley of a north facing jut out from the main house. They both have perform as expected in an exceptionally hard winter (ideal conditions for Ice dams.) As far as I can tell they are identical products. I was a little concerned because of all the talk of generic boxes and problems but I had none. They are easy to install but do it when the weather is warm or you will have trouble getting the clips under the shingles. I used a piece of chalk to mark the 15" between each row along the roof and at the ridge so I could just slip in the clips and run the cable without measuring all the time.

I live in the North West. We are having much longer periods of single digit weather this year. We purchased the 200' version. I found the installation clips very flimsy and weak. They are made out of a very lighweight aluminium with 2 fishhook type barbs that are supposed to push onto a shingle and the barbs are supposed to go into the underside of the shingle to hold it tight. I found them coming off the shingle with very slight tugging as I was installing the triangular pattern on my roof. I called the company as to what I might do to make the installation more secure and the solution was to send me another package of clips. After more time on the installation than I planned, I did get them to stay. The system does work if you can get the clips to hold,you will be happy. I will see how they do in a high wind storm. Good Luck EJ

The gutters on my house would always freeze up and when the thaw would come in the afternoon, it would refreeze around the drainage spout...creating a serious hazard.Installation was a little more challenging than expected (the clips provided are extremely snug to get under my composite shingles) but after some trial and error I got the hang of it.The first snowstorm hit about a week after I installed it. I went outside, plugged it in and let it do it's thing. This is by no means a fast melt, it is a very steady warmth that is emitted. It worked perfectly. Our gutters did not freeze and the water flowed from the downspout nicely. It even did a good job at keeping snow away from the roof.Our patio was more slushy than icy this year and it is all because of this device.

For years we suffered from a combination of poor gutter installation and a climate that fosters ice dams plus full and frozen gutters. I actually used some Christmas tube-lights to keep the gutter clear, but they draw a lot of current and have obvious side effects. I found this solution very easy to install, the instructions were clear, the accessories were simple to understand and use, and the gutter has run free and clear since. Plus, this solution does not require installation of new electrical outlets. This is been a cheap and effective solution to our problem with gutters freezing over and dropping ice on our walkways. I would highly recommend this product.

For the money, I was really happy with this product and the result. The pictures I'm adding were the first snow fall and rather old. I probably could take more dramatic pics right now. But regardless. I decided to run the cables back and forth 3 times and down the downspout. One run on top of the bracket with zip ties, two runs on the bottom of the gutter separated by spacers that are provided. Those are oversized six inch gutters. Pretty dramatic result. N side, full of snow. S side with cables clear. Today, if I took more pics the N side is 6 inches of ice. The south side is almost 100% clear. Normally due to the extra sunlight, the S side would be frozen and dripping water over the course of the day, and freezing on my stoop and walkway. But with the cables, not a drop. Problem solved.
