Roof Snow Melt System Installation

During intense winters in the Northeast, snow and ice can pose numerous issues that keep property owners in a constant battle to avoid and mitigate damage. One of the most common and harmful problems homeowners face is the accumulation of ice in gutters. Ice buildup can cause substantial interior and exterior home damage, so it’s essential to understand the causes of ice dams and implement effective solutions to prevent them from occurring. 

When it comes to avoiding ice buildup, electricity can be a homeowner’s best friend. At Lippolis Electric, Inc., we have decades of experience providing electrical services to customers throughout NY, CT, and NJ. Our team can help you design, install and maintain your roof snow melt system to prevent ice dams and the damage they cause. 

What Are Ice Dams? 

Ice dams are a common problem for homeowners battling harsh winters throughout the northeast. When densely packed snow and ice accumulate on the roof of a heated and insulated building, the snow closest to the home’s interior will begin to melt while buildup at the roof’s extremities remains. 

Before long, the melted snow from higher on the roof begins to drip down toward the ice-filled gutters. The water then sits among the ice — farther from the building’s interior heat. It refreezes, creating a larger dam as the cycle continues. Without treatment, an ice dam can damage the gutters or shingles, cause a large amount of ice to collapse below or result in a roof leak. 

How Do Roof Snow Melt Systems Solve Ice Dams? 

Ice melt systems make winter roof care easy by stopping ice dams before they form. An experienced technician from Lippolis Electric can install one of these systems into your roof and in your gutters and downspouts for a solution that will last for many winters ahead. Resting just beneath your shingles, roof melt systems convert electricity into heat, which radiates throughout the surface and melts snow as it falls. This prevents water from becoming ice. 

Roof melt systems are easy for our team to install during new construction, a roof replacement or a retrofit of an existing roof. Because there are several ice and snow melting systems available, you can trust our team to help design the most effective ice dam melting solution that retains your home’s curb appeal.
