Easy Heat 120' Roof & Gutter De-Icing Cable — Self-Regulating, Includes Mounting Hardware

The Easy Heat 120' Roof/Gutter Cable is a self-regulating roof de-icing cable designed to keep gutters, downspouts and roof edges clear of damaging ice buildup.

Ice dams form when trapped meltwater refreezes along roof edges and in gutters, causing leaks and material damage. The Easy Heat 120' Roof/Gutter Cable creates a continuous heated channel that helps melted water flow off the roof instead of pooling behind frozen ridges. Built for typical asphalt-shingled, sloped roofs, this kit adapts to most gutter and downspout layouts and arrives ready to install with mounting hardware included.

How does the 120' cable prevent ice dams on roofs?

The cable produces a warm path that encourages snowmelt to drain rather than refreeze at the eaves and inside gutters. It's intended specifically to manage meltwater flow and reduce the hidden ice that causes most damage, rather than to melt every bit of snow on the roof.

• Self-regulating heating element that adjusts output with temperature
• Continuous heated line along eaves and inside gutters and downspouts
• Reduces hidden ice accumulation under shingles and behind gutters

Is this cable easy to install and maintain?

Yes — the kit is made for straightforward installation on inclined roofs with tab shingles and standard gutters. It includes mounting clips and screws, and once fitted requires no routine servicing under normal conditions.

• Includes 6 mounting clips and 2 screws for secure attachment
• Designed to fit most roof-edge and gutter configurations without complex tools
• No regular maintenance; inspect visually after severe storms

Where can I use the 120' Roof/Gutter Cable and what are the limits?

The system is intended for preventing ice dams on sloped roofs with asphalt/tab shingles and for keeping gutters and downspouts flowing. It is not meant to serve as a full snow-melting system to clear an entire roof of heavy snow loads.

• Best for inclined roofs with tab-style shingles and conventional gutters
• Use inside gutters and downspouts to ensure proper drainage
• Not engineered to remove deep snow accumulations across whole roof surfaces

What components come with the kit and how long will it last?

The 120' kit ships with the heated cable plus mounting accessories to get you started. Easy Heat manufactures components from durable materials and performs quality checks during production so the cable is built to operate reliably season after season.

• 120 feet of self-regulating de-icing cable sized for typical eave and gutter layouts
• Includes 6 clips and 2 mounting screws to secure the cable
• Manufactured and quality-tested for long-term operation with minimal upkeep

Who this is for: Homeowners with sloped, asphalt-shingled roofs and conventional gutters who want a practical, low-maintenance way to reduce the risk of water infiltration and gutter damage from ice buildup. It’s aimed at properties experiencing recurring ice-damming issues where improving meltwater drainage along eaves, gutters, and downspouts can protect roofing and fascia without a full rooftop snow-melt installation.
