What is the roof heater?

roof heater is usually a system used to maintain warm roof areas to prevent the accumulation of snow and ice that can cause damage to the building. This type of system usually uses a product called a thermal tape or a thermal cable that can be lowered along the edge of the roof and through the troughs on the edge of the roof. Different types of cables and tapes can be used as roof heater; Some include systems that automatically control heating, while others will run while the power supply is supplied to the cable. Holding of snow and ice on the roof is usually held in one of the two basic ways: either on the edge of the roof itself or in the eaves on the roof. Usually the first stage usually occurs snow and melts and runs down the roof to the edge where it stops, and then deteriorates again into the ice. As soon as this happens, the snow melting Wpotom at this point I will continue to mass and create more snow and ice, which is often called the "ice dam".

Snow can also accumulate in gutters around the roof when melting snow flows into the eaves. The shots are often quite cold, so this snow and melting snow can then get worse into the ice, which is being built with a larger number of snow and ice. In both cases, the accumulation of ice and snow can be very heavy and lead to the roof damage or entering water into the walls of the building, which can cause damage and opportunities to develop molds.

roof heater is usually used to prevent both problems. When used to prevent the ice dam, there may be a heat tape or a cable that consists of a cable length and a plug that can be inserted into the socket, attached to the edge of the roof in the "winding" pattern. The tape or cable melts any snow and LEDs up to about one inch (2.5 cm) on both sides prevents the formation of ice dams. In the gutters of the house, the roof heater system can also be used using a tape or cable to prevent the accumulation of ice or snow in the eaves.

This type of roof heater can usually be found in different cable lengths and can be either standard or self -regulation. The standard cable is heated up to maximum temperature and remains on this heat while connected. However, the self -regulating cable or tape changes the temperature and will be cold at warmer temperatures and will be warmer as the outdoor temperatures drop. Both system works well as a roof heater, but the self -regulating cable can help reduce energy consumption and costs.
