Product Description

Size: 80-Foot

Product Description

Cable helps prevent damage by ice build up in gutters, downspouts, and under shingles. Cable maintains a clear path for water drainage. Installs easily with special clips to hold cable securely to roof without damage. Spacers and instructions in each package. Preassembled in several lengths. Can be used with roof de icing control, model

From the Manufacturer

It's not those big icicles that do the real damage--it's the ice you don't see that backs up in gutters and under shingles. When the ice melts it can really do a number on repair costs. Easy Heat ADKS-400 80-foot roof de-icing cable prevents this water, snow and ice damage by providing a clear path for melting water to flow off the roof. The versatile design adapts to most roof and gutter configurations. This product is intended for the sole use of preventing ice dams from forming on inclined roofs with tab shingles, in gutters and downspouts. This roof de-icing cable is not intended for use as a snow melting system to clear roof of ice and snow. This system can be installed with confidence that it will operate for years without requiring service. All components are made of the highest quality material and are tested during critical points in the manufacturing process.

works great
By Michael Hagerty on November 11, 2009
Size Name: 30-Foot Verified Purchase
I have had one of these de-icing cables on the front of my house for a few years and it worked great so I decided to add a few more around the house. I have never had a problem with ice dams but this seems like a pretty cheap precaution especially up here in NH.
They provide you with plenty of clips to attached to the shingles and the process is very easy and is a DIY project if you don't mind being on a ladder. It only took me about 30 min. to install the cable.

Just make sure you buy the correct length cable, the way to figure that is through some pre-planning. Take a look at the area you are planning to install the cable and take some measurements. You should have approx 2 foot loops about 16" apart, so if you have a 30 length of roof you want to cover your already at 60 ft., you also need to figure in extra cable for a double run in the gutter (if you have one) so if you add the 30 ft. gutter x 2 that's another 60 ft.

Then add the downspout, let's just say that another 15 ft. x 2 (need a double run for best results) that's another 30ft. So in total you would need a 150 ft. cable for a 30ft. length of roof with a gutter and a downspout.

Great product at a great price.
By Dr. Pilot on September 5, 2008
Size Name: 100-Foot
Like another review said, the local hardware store wanted $85. I purchased one 100 ft length last winter after ice dams were already formed (oops). I just laid it out on top of the ice and snow--like it should have been mounted on the shingles; still worked great. I just moved it a few times to completely melt the ice. I just ordered 3 more 100' lengths to mount permanently with the roof clips.

Check all requirements first
By srca Marv on September 19, 2011
Size Name: 100-Foot Verified Purchase
This is more of a before purchase warning. There are a number or physical and electrical requirements (some more important than others) that you should be aware of before purchase. I my case it wasn't until I received the product that I found that "ADKS cable cannot be used on slate, stone, metal and ceramic roofs". I would suggest downloading the "ADKS Roof and Gutter De-Icing Owner's Manual" available on the Emerson Industrial website before purchase.

These cables work, but they have their limits...
By Joseph Plummer on February 4, 2011
Size Name: 100-Foot Verified Purchase
Length: 2:30 Mins
This season (2010 / 2011) these cables just weren't able to deal with the heavy snow and frigid weather. That said, the ice dam wasn't as bad as I would have had without the cables. They're still worth having, just not the "perfect" solution for extreme weather. (See video for more info.)

Works great, buy longer than you think you need
By R. PC on December 25, 2009
Size Name: 100-Foot Verified Purchase
We've had serious problems with ice dams in one section of our roof despite trying several methods to stop them. This year the de-icing cable has solved the problem with flying colors. We have not had temps below zero much yet but ice dams form mainly when the snow is melting and that's when this works the best.

Installation was pretty easy. I had no problems with the clips and the main challenge was working out a scheme to run the cable along the roof edge and into the gutter, but even that was pretty straightforward.

That brings me to the one thing I wish would be made more clear - when you install the cable it is in a triangle shaped pattern along the roof, and you may also run it up any valleys in the roof and down the gutter. For me I ended up using about 3 feet of cable per one foot of the actual roof run, so buy longer than you think you will need.

Addendum: We've had this thing five seasons now and it continues to work great. It's unusual to have a purchase that works this well for this long, but we have not had a bit if a problem with ice dams since we bought it, even with the severe winter we just went through.

Easy Heat review
By Dr Bigger on January 25, 2010
Size Name: 30-Foot Verified Purchase
Product relatively easy to install. Does not seem to deteriorate over # of years. Heat is enough to melt through snow and ice no matter how heavy within 6 hours. Very effective for preventing gutter freeze ups resulting in roof damage. Have been using for 15+ years.

Good value, appears to have solved problem
By Frozen in Sault Ste. Marie on December 13, 2008
Size Name: 80-Foot
I purchased this product for installation in a valley on a shingle roof that gets considerable ice buildup. The valley faces the sunshine, so even with proper ventilation the ice melts and refreezes. I ran the cable from the house receptacle, up the downspout, through the gutter, and up AND down the valley. We have had considerable winter weather so far this year and I am happy to have the heat tape there melting the buildup and providing a clear path for water to escape

Works great so far.
By B.Walters on December 7, 2007
Size Name: 100-Foot Verified Purchase
I bought this Easy Heat de-icing cable mainly for the price. It cost nearly half what similar products were going for in the local hardware stores.

So far, I've been very pleased with it. The instructions were very clear and easy to follow. And the package includes a more than ample supply of roof clips. And, we just went through our first major snowstorm a week ago and the cable worked perfectly. The real test will be to see how many years this lasts. But, for now, I'm a happy customer.
