Helmet Heat® Ice Reduction System: The Proven Ice Dam Solution
Helmet Heat by Gutter Helmet is an exclusive self-regulating heating cable designed to keep ice and snow from building up around the edges of your roof.
How It Works
Helmet Heat reduces ice dams by melting snow before it has a chance to accumulate at your roof eaves and affect the flow of water through your gutters and downspouts. In this way, damage is averted.
Features & Benefits
Benefits to having a Helmet Heat system installed on your home include:
-
Energy efficiency
-
Self-regulation
-
Safety
-
Clean installation
-

Full compatibility with the Gutter Helmet system
Installation
Helmet Heat is installed directly under Gutter Helmet gutter covers, without visible roof clips or exposed wire. It can be mounted on any home that uses the Gutter Helmet gutter protection system. Your local dealer can set up both systems at the same time.
Operating Instructions
Once the Helmet Heat system is installed on your home, all you need to do is switch it on or off at the recommended times via dedicated heat cable breaker(s) or with a dedicated light switch. Any build-up that has already formed may be knocked off manually to expedite thawing.
