Roof & Gutters require Heat Tracing to prevent damaging ice build-up. Ice dams form when melt water freezes at an overhang or gutter. This ice dam may grow large enough that melt water will back up under the shingle or roof seam and drip into the building space causing major water damage. Roof & Gutter Deicing cables are also effective in preventing large, damaging icicles from forming along a roof edge. Roof & Gutter Deicing cables are designed to provide a drain path for melt water to exit a roof structure. They are not designed to completely melt snow and ice on a roof or building surface. Most designs call for cable(s) to be installed in gutters, downspouts and along roof edges to prevent ice dams. Control options range from simple, dedicated gutter-mounted controls to micro-processor-based controllers with BMS interface capabilities depending on the level of control/monitoring required by the application. Self-regulating heating cables vary their power output, can be crossed over themselves without the risk of burning out and can be cut to length in the field. Thermal Fluidics, Inc. can size the appropriate heater for your application depending on your specific criteria. We will create a complete design and BOM, and develop an accurate Bill of Materials including; Cables, Installation Accessories, and Controls.
