Heated Gutters in Merrick, Long Beach, and Freeport, NY and Surrounding Areas

The Brothers that just do Gutters in Merrick, NY offers heated gutters in Merrick, Long Beach, Freeport, and the surrounding areas. Heated gutters are an effective way to protect your home from the harsh weather of winter. A heated gutter system uses self-regulating heat tape that is threaded into your gutters and downspouts to warm the gutter during winter and prevent snow and ice build-up.

Benefits of Heated Gutters

During harsh winters, ice damming and other snow conditions can lead to damage that is expensive to repair. The benefit of heated gutters is that they keep snow and ice from building up and clogging your gutters and downspouts, preventing the potential for costly repairs. Additionally, ice and snow build-up on your roof’s edges can be a hazard for people below and can cause the gutters to pull away from your home, crack, or fall off. Heated gutters provide an extra layer of protection against these hazards.

How Heated Gutters Work

Heated gutters systems use self-regulating heat tape that warms up as it senses the decrease in temperature outside. This tape is threaded into your gutters and downspouts to keep the gutter warm during winter and prevent snow and ice build-up. The heat tape is designed to be energy efficient and will only activate when needed, so you won’t have to worry about your energy bill skyrocketing.

Expert Installation for Maximum Safety

We use the highest quality materials and the latest technology to ensure that your heated gutter system is installed correctly and will last for years.

When installing heat tape, there are many things to consider. One aspect to examine is spacing, depending on the roof’s pitch and the soffit’s length. We install the heated cable into your gutters and downspouts. The preferred method is to install the heat cable under a gutter guard. We strongly recommend a gutter guard because it can protect the cable and help trap the heat —making the entire system function more effectively. Using this method will help prevent many concerns associated with ice dams.

To power the heat tape, a premade length of heat tape or a GFCI Plug-in cord-set can be connected to an existing outdoor outlet —eliminating the need to hardwire. If there is no existing outdoor outlet, or your particular setup makes these options impractical, we may suggest that you consult an electrician for the final power hookup.
