Helmet Heat®: The Gutter Accessory Gary, IN, Homeowners Can’t Live Without
When it snows in Indiana, it freezes. During this time, the task of keeping the interior of your home toasty is only one item on a very long list of winter preparations. Another one of the most important responsibilities on this task list involves maintaining your gutter system. While this may not seem like an important or relevant chore, keeping your gutter system free of excessive ice buildup, ice dams, and icicles can help prevent future home damage from occurring. The solution: Helmet Heat® Ice Reduction System.
What is Helmet Heat?
This proven ice-dam solution by Gutter Helmet® is a heated drainage system that protects your property in the winter by melting snow and ice that builds on your gutter system. In turn, this innovative product helps prevent common damage and hazardous conditions related to ice forming on your home, in addition to maintaining a clean and functional drainage system.
How it Works
The Helmet Heat system consists of three heat cables that are securely fastened to your gutters or gutter guards by using patented Gutter Helmet brackets. This method evenly distributes heat throughout the gutter system, eliminating any icicles or ice dams that could otherwise form. In fact, this system is engineered to prevent ice from building up 8 to 10 inches from the nose of the gutters, ensuring that your home’s entire drainage system remains ice-free throughout the duration of winter.
Helmet Heat Ice Removal Sensor Controller
To improve the functionality of the Helmet Heat system, we can also rig it with a deicing controller. This automatic controller is designed to activate your system when outside temperatures reach levels that are likely to produce icicles and ice dams. This device will also amplify energy output as the temperature falls or reduce output as the temperature rises, granting you peace of mind that the system is only operating when it needs to and avoiding excessive energy use. To illustrate that Helmet Heat has begun preparing your gutter system, a visual light notification will appear.
