Introduction
Tempsens snow melting cables for roof and gutter applications deliver direct, uniform heating to keep your roof and drainage system load-free through the harshest winters. Unlike passive insulation, these heavy-duty, low-heat-output deicing cables react faster and give you precise temperature control, to let snow and ice be cleared before structural damage occurs. The Tempsens range covers heat loads from 300 W to 4500 W, operates at 230 V AC, and is built around XLPE-insulated heating elements with PVC (HR-FR) outer jacketing. Whether you manage an apartment block, automobile parking, driveway, outdoor ramp, or drainage area, Tempsens roof and gutter deicing cable gives you a safe, economical, and maintenance-free solution backed by a 20-year warranty.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to frequently asked questions related to Roof & Gutter Snow Melting / Deicing Cables.
Run roof and gutter deicing cable only during active snowfall or when temperatures fall below 0°C. A thermostat controller automates this, preventing unnecessary energy use between weather events.
Tempsens snow melting cables for roof use 30 W or 45 W per metre. With a digital thermostat, the system activates only when needed, keeping running costs low relative to roof repair expenses.
Use gutter deicing cables when the ambient temperature is near freezing and snow is predicted. This will typically prevent ice dam formations from occurring on roofs after a snowfall before it compacts against the roofs surface.
The amount of energy consumed by the heating wires is based on the length of wire and wattage. The energy used to de-ice the roof gutter cables is transferable through the thermostatic heat-efficient design of the XLPE material creating a decrease in the energy usage of the cable while retaining its full de-icing capability.
