The "Self-Regulating" in the name means that the cable will get warmer when covered with ice or snow. Comfort Radiant's self-regulating cable will generate up to 12 watts per linear foot compared to the 'box store' cable, that is always only 6 watts per foot.
Our self-regulating cable can be used to prevent ice from forming in your gutters or to melt snow on your roof. The typical design is to keep the melting snow flowing to the gutter and then down the spout so ice dams will not form at the drip edge.
We offer Self-Regulating cable by the foot or in rolls. Though self-regulating cables are not as thorough as ZMESH under-shingle or Tuff Cable under metal systems, when the budget dictates the remedy, self-regulating ice and snow cable is the best cable on the market to melt contact snow or ice.

Just like our under-shingle or metal roof sytems, self regulating cables can be controlled using a variety of activation devices. They can be as simple as a manual timer activation or more intricate designs using automatic sensor that activate/deactivate the system when the temperatures drop below 38 degrees and then get wet. Then, when either the temperatures rise or the wet weather clears, the sensor will automatically shut the system off. |
