We get our fair share of winter storms here in Southeast Michigan, which can take a toll on your exterior. Ice dams, in particular, pose a threat to your roof. These occur when ice forms at the edge of your roof due to clogged or frozen gutters.  Ice dams prevent water from melted snow from draining off, leading to water getting inside the home.  This can lead to many serious issues such as the growth of mold and mildew.

Luckily, with the help of Helmet Heat, you can help prevent the formation of these ice dams. This self-regulating heating cable system helps prevent the conditions for ice dams to form, offering superior protection against water damage to your roof. It’s also specifically designed to work with your Gutter Helmet system for ultimate performance. 

Here’s what sets Helmet Heat apart from other similar systems. 

• Temperature change detection: Helmet Heat cables can detect changes in ambient temperature, turning on as needed during the winter. 

• Just warm enough: Helmet Heat provides only enough heat to keep your gutters warm, but the cables aren’t hot to the touch. 
• Safety always comes first: Helmet Heat is a safe system that is incapable of overheating. It is also GFCI protected.
