Utah Heat Cable Installation

When snow comes to Utah, don’t let your roof turn into a winter wonderland. With heat cables, the edges of your roof will be heated, so you can avoid ice dams and other cold-weather hazards—that could also damage your roof. On Top Roofing is a proud provider of Utah heat cable installations, so our customers’ roofs are safe and long-lasting.

Heat cables are electrical cables installed along the edge of your roof that generate heat to melt ice and snow and to create a safe path for water to drain. One of the primary goals of heat cables is to prevent ice dams, which are ridges of ice that form along the edges of roofs and can eventually cause damage to your home. When you get heat cables installed by On Top, you’re signing up for these benefits:

Why homeowners choose heat cable installation

A Roof Free from Ice Dams

Ice dams can block water from draining off your roof properly, which, over time, can then cause water to build up and leak. It can damage your shingles, warp gutters, and even leak into your home and drywall. When you get heat cables installed instead, the small amounts of heat prevent ice dams and help your roof last longer.

Increased Safety on Your Property

Rest easy knowing ice chunks, icicles, and snow drifts aren’t falling off the edges of your roof. Instead, the heat cables will help melt the snow during the winter to keep your property safe.

Minimal Construction and Hassle

The On Top team will be in and out quickly. Your brand-new heat cables don’t require a construction crew or tearing up your roof. Instead, our expert team will quickly install them and do a site clean-up to make sure everything looks like you left it.
