The Brothers that Just do Gutters in Lehigh Valley, PA offers heated gutters that use self-regulating heat tape threaded into your gutters and downspouts to keep them warm during the winter. This prevents ice and snow build-up, which is especially important during harsh winters when it can lead to expensive repairs. Ice and snow build-up can also be a hazard for people below, as it can cause the gutters to pull away from your home, crack, or even fall off.
Ice damming occurs when snow melts on the roof and then refreezes, causing a dam of ice at the edge of the roof. This can cause water to back up and damage the roof, as well as cause water to seep into the walls and ceilings of your home. With a heated gutter system, the ice and snow melts quickly, eliminating the risk of ice damming and the damage it can cause.
Investing in heated gutters can save you money in the long run. Not only can ice and snow build-up lead to expensive repairs, but they can also be a hazard to anyone below. Investing in a heated gutter system can save you from having to pay for repairs to your home or any medical bills that might result from an accident.
Once the heated gutter system is installed, you don’t have to worry about it. The self-regulating heat tape will turn on when it gets cold, and off when it gets warm. This means that you don’t have to constantly check and adjust the temperature of the system, making it a maintenance-free system.

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.
