Does the job

Date:January 21, 2012

"I installed this on two roof areas, one with a skylight. I ran it through the troughs and down spouts. I connected the max length recommended for a 12 amp circuit. This took about five hours to install and is painless. Plan your entire routing well before you start!

I did also buy the controller but after a couple of snow falls I notice that it never turned on the cables and so I simply by passed it and plug the cables in manually when needed. Perhaps I'll try the controlled again sometime...

The cables are good at melting small channels to allow subsequent water to flow off of the roof through. Don't expect to see much snow disappear from the roof."

protect your roof

"great to prevent ice dams
not strong enough to melt snow but they keep a channel free for the water to run so it doesn't get under the roof"

Great product

"I have installed a couple of these. They do a great job of melting any ice biuldup on my roof. I plug it in only when I need it to prevent any roof damage."

How many amps does it draw?

Question:

Would I be able to attach to an outdoor sump pump discharge hose to keep pipes from freezing in the spring. Looks like it would be less costly than the regular heat cable for pipes. What is the difference?

Answer:

This type of cable is not self regulating and if crossed or placed too closely together might overheat. If you do use it ensure it does not overheat due to it's own heat output. The more expensive tape systems are much better however very costly. In theory they would not overheat however you would be careful not to cross them as well. They can also be cut to any length due to the construction. You should not leave them plugged in all the time only when required ie timers and thermostats should be used.
