The challenge

The accumulation of ice and snow can cause severe structural damage to roofs, gutters, downspouts or any exposed external piping or water run-off or distribution systems in commercial and residential buildings. There is an increased danger of accidents caused by falling icicles and shifting snow. The use of suitable de-icing systems using electric heating cables can prevent ice formation and protect against property damage.

As snow collects on the roof, rising heat from the building below or exposure to sun melts the snow, creating flowing water. This water will reach the colder collection systems of the building, where it will eventually refreeze, causing blockages and ultimately damaging the gutters or run-offs. Water that cannot be directed away from a property may get into the internal areas of the building.

The solution

The heat tracing experts at eltherm® have spent years developing and optimizing freeze protection solutions for commercial and residential applications. From a wide selection of the most reliable self-regulating cables to easy to use connection and terminations assemblies and the most cost-effective control and sensing technology, eltherm®’s line of ELSR series self-regulating heat tracing products for commercial and residential roof and gutter systems provide a complete solution for the most challenging installations. This design guide provides a basis for designing roof and gutter snow and ice melting systems.
