Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Most everyone (where it snows) needs roof deicing cables. No ice damns, no leaks. Most effective when you're diligent about it's use.



Cons

Realistically these cables are fragile and easy to damage. They are incapable of biting into hard asphalt shingles or holding on with spring force friction. Maybe they are counterfeit?

The rc30 goes hot the moment it is plugged in and requires a wall switch or external thermostat to control it. The manual indicates it is only to be used when snow is already melting, suggesting it is not capable of preventing the build up of snow or ...  Read More

Quality


Good product works as advertised installation is not to hard with a little bit of common sense.


I was surprised by the quick delivery.

Price


After order 50 to 60 i would think i would start seeing a wholesale price, or a sufficient knock down price.

    I am really hoping to see the cable malting snow and ice and doesnt quit on me


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    During cold spells the gutter freezes solid and ice dams can form on the roof


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    If temperatures climb into the 40s f ill unplug it to save electricity


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    We would turn on when it started to snow and leave it on until the snow stopped and the shingles were visible


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    If you start by uncoiling that way it becomes a tangled mess

    They recommend uncoiling from the end of the cable but the problem i had with that is that i didnt know exactly how much extra slack i would have and didnt want to run the risk of clipping up the whole roof and running out of cable to make it down the spout and to power
