Why Install VineHeat Roof and Gutter De-icing?
Ice dams can cause water ingress into a roof, physical damage to the structure, or a safety hazard due to ice falling onto unexpected pedestrians below.
Roof De-icing save money and be at ease
SAFE
VineHeat electric de-icing systems efficiently prevent excess snow and ice build-up on roofs and in gutters and downspouts. No need to climb on a ladder or the roof to clear snow and ice from the roof.
ECONOMICAL
Excess snow and ice can create leaks in roofs and exterior walls, resulting in costly repairs, inside and out. A small investment in our heating wires can mean long-term savings.
DURABLE
The waterproof cable is made of twin-core conductors within in XLPE (cross-linking polyethylene) wrapped with tinned copper wire braid, and protected with waterproof PVC with a UV inhibitor.
Ice dams can cause water ingress into a roof, physical damage to the structure, or a safety hazard due to ice falling onto unexpected pedestrians below.
Solve snowpak on Your Roof
Take proactive steps to protect your home:
- Regularly remove snow from your roof using safe methods or hire professionals for roof de-icing to prevent ice dams and promote proper drainage.
- Install roof heating systems or de-icing cables to prevent ice dams and protect against roof collapse.
- Clear gutters and downspouts of any snow or ice buildup through roof de-icing to ensure proper water flow and prevent damage to your home’s exterior.
By taking these preventive measures and implementing roof de-icing, you can avoid the costly consequences of snow buildup on your roof and ensure the safety and integrity of your home throughout the winter season.
How does Electric Heating Cable work ?
Vineheat suggests the implementation of constant wattage heating cables along the roofline, within the gutter system, and encompassing all downspouts as a proactive measure against ice dam formation. By strategically applying heat to these key zones, the objective is to maintain a steady flow of water, thereby safeguarding residences and businesses from the potential harm caused by ice accumulation and snow-related issues.
The Electric Heating Cable is designed for installation on inclined roofs with noncombustible tab shingles(such as asphalt shingles), metal or plastic gutter ,downspouts,and valleys providing a clear path for water to drain.

Having proper insulation in your building and correctly installing gutters and downspouts are just as important in keeping your roof safe from snow and ice damage.
Select the Proper Roof Heating Cable
Several important terms are defined below: An accurate estimate of the cable length you need is critical because you cannot change the cable length by cutting, splicing, or altering it in any way.
3 Steps to Install Roof De-icing:
Lay out the cable flat
Lay out the cable flat against the roof so it is not twisted or tangled.
Using the clips
Using the clips, attach the cable to the edge shingles nearest the start point.
Using a cable spacer
Using a cable spacer, arrange the cord to form a drip loop to prevent water from tracking along the cable and back into the receptacle.
Caution:
1. Lift the shingle just enough to insert the clip. Press shingle back down firmly.
2. An accurate estimate of the cable length you need is critical because you cannot change the cable length by cutting, splicing, or altering it in any way.
