Install a Radiant Roof Heating System and Save!If you’re contemplating a new roof this summer, it’s a great time to invest in radiant roof heating . Sure, installing a new roof, you say, is costly enough; however, the initial expense of installing a heated roof will save you in the end. By eliminating ice buildup, ice dams and icicles, radiant roof heating protects your home from loose shingles, sagging gutters, damage from rakes and structural damage.
Save money. Of course, with falling property values, improvements like heated roof systems are a nice way to boost your equity and protect your home from structural damage you can’t see, saving you money in costly repairs. Radiant heated roofs eliminate prolonged ice damming that can cause moisture to seep through roofing materials into roof decking before finding its way inside, damaging ceilings, walls and floors and resulting in mold growth. Roof heating is efficient. It costs approximately 35 cents per continuous hour of operation. And roof heating systems run on automatic sensors designed to detect precipitation and temperature, responding to climate changes and activating only as needed. So a radiant heated roof saves you time and money, efficiently. With so many incentives, there’s no better time to include a radiant heat system in your roof installation! |
Save time. Radiant heated roofs are fully
automated. This seamless operation sure beats a roof rake.
Besides having to remember to use a rake, I may not be
able to easily reach certain areas, and I may, in my
zealous quest to be a proactive, responsible
homeowner, also cause damage to the roof. Not to mention the
muscle soreness I will undoubtedly experience with
prolonged overhead raking, and more importantly, the
time I’ll spend on yet another arduous
home-related chore. 
Radiant Roof Heating Helps to Protect our Homes from Ice DamageAs mankind faces the forces of nature we have learned to develop ways of combating the negative elements that hamper our existence. We invent things to make our lives easier. It’s just something we do. We used to rely on horses to get around. Then there were cars. Then planes, etc. Technology marches on.
Radiant heat
systems are also commonly used for
roof heating
to melt snow and prevent dangerous ice buildup.
These roof heating systems have proven to be more
valuable than most of us realize. By preventing snow
and ice buildup on our roofs, these radiant systems help to
prevent structural damage, as well as eliminate
dangerous icicles. Just as we have
developed ways of preventing frozen pipes through the use
of pipe tracing, we have developed ways of preventing
damaging ice buildup through the use of roof heating.
Every year, many of us are faced with damage caused by
ice buildup on the roof.
Roof
heating cable
can provide a means of preventing this concern. A
gutter melt system will prevent that heavy ice
accumulation that so often leads to broken gutters or worse. Homes in the higher elevations would be well advised to acquire this convenience. It’s a matter of time before it is more than just a convenience. A radiant heated roof may save you from serious damage due to ice buildup. |
Early
homes were rudimentary structures that offered
protection from the elements, but offered little else
in terms of creature comforts. Like
transportation, homes also reflect our
advancements in technology. After the fireplace, along came
central air heating systems. Becoming increasingly popular
is the time-tested, yet only recently adopted
technology of radiant floor heating, which not only
warms the floors, but the home as well.
