Installation of roof heating wire/cable

What is the purpose of a roof heating cable?

A roof heating cable is an effective solution for preventing damage caused by excessive snow and ice accumulation. During winter, snow can turn to ice on the roof, creating risks such as :

• Water infiltration: Water from melted snow can penetrate the roof structure, causing leaks and long-term damage.
• Heat loss: A layer of ice or snow can insulate your roof, increasing your building’s heating costs.
• Structural damage: Excessive snow and ice accumulation can weigh down the roof, leading to the risk of collapse or deformation.

A strategically installed heating cable melts snow and ice, clears gutters and drainage channels, and avoids these potential problems, while protecting your roof structure and ensuring optimum comfort inside your premises.

Roof heating cable: an essential winter solution

The accumulation of snow and ice on your roof can lead to serious problems such as water infiltration, structural damage and the risk of falls. A roof heating wire or cable helps prevent these risks by melting snow and preventing ice formation. It’s particularly important in regions with harsh climates like Quebec.

On what type of roof should a heating cable be installed?

Heating cables are particularly recommended for all types of roof, including flat, sloped, slate and asphalt shingle roofs, as the risk of ice formation exists even on sloped roofs. However, metal roofs are not recommended for this type of installation because of the risk of overheating. Our experts will carry out a thorough inspection to advise you on the most suitable solution for your roof, preserving its durability and integrity.
