Install a Roof De-icing Cables System to protect you and your home from snow and ice.
Your Roof Can’t Tell You It’s in Trouble,
But the Ice Can
In Calgary’s harsh winters, snow and ice buildup on your roof isn’t just an eyesore.
It’s a hidden threat. Left untreated, heavy ice dams and frozen snow can cause leaks, break gutters, damage your roof structure, and even risk collapse.
Worse yet, falling ice can seriously injure someone below.
That’s where professional roof de-icing cable system comes in.
We prevent dangerous snow and ice before they destroy your home or business,
keeping your property safe, sound, and looking its best all winter long.
Prevent
Structural Damage
Damaged gutters and downspouts are a common result of ice buildup, as the expanding frozen water adds weight and pressure that can bend, crack,
or tear them away from your roof.
Avoid
Costly Repairs
Preventing ice before it causes
water infiltration can save
thousands in potential repairs.
Reduce
Liability Risks
Melting ice from your roof often refreezes on walkways, creating dangerous slip hazards and potential liability issues.
With a proper roof de-icing cable system, your sidewalks stay clear.
No more constant salting.

How this system works?
- Self-regulating heat: The cable adjusts its output depending on ambient temperature—producing more heat in colder conditions and less as it warms up.
- Reliable and durable: Safe for wet locations and direct burial, and outperform conventional heat tape in longevity and safety.
- Ensures clear drainage: By keeping key roof edges and channels warm, the system prevents freezing blockages and maintains effective water drainage.

TESTIMONIALS
“
Electrek installed roof/downspout heat lines at my home. Unlike other businesses Carson from Electrek showed up, did that job and worked around the other renovation crews working on our siding.
Going forward Carson will probably be first call if I ever need some electrical work done.

Carson & Shawn installed a Heat-Line roof deicing (ice dam prevention) system on our bungalow here in Parkland. Now after the first season with the system, we had absolutely no issues with any ice build-up on the roof or in the gutters.
They did an incredible job, not cheap, but know you get what you pay for, and this was money well spent. Would not hesitate to recommend Carson and his team, they were professional, responsive and even followed up by attending our property while we were out of town to ensure the system was operating as advertised.
Please give them a call for "any of your electrical needs" as companies like this are very hard to come by these days.
"FIVE STARS", and no, did not get paid or offered any discount for this review !

Electrek Installed a heater cable on the gutter and downspout to prevent ice damming.
It was done professionally and efficiently. Carson was always available to answer any recommendations. Highly recommend.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Roof de-icing actually refers to two different processes.
One is the manual removal of ice and snow build up once it's already in place and causing damage. See More Here.
The other is a more permanent preventative solution where de-icing cables are installed on the roof and they heat up to melt the ice and snow preventing it from building up. See More Here.
Manual de-icing is reactive, risky, and costly because it happens after the ice has already formed and damaged your roof, gutters, and downspouts. With our roof de-icing cable system, you’re protected before winter hits.
A "Roof De-icing Cable System", however, gently warms your roof edges, gutters, and downspouts to prevent ice dams, icicles, and water damage, keeping your property safe without repeat service calls.
The best time to install a de-icing cable system is before the snow and ice arrive. Installing early ensures our team can safely set up the cables on your roof, gutters, and downspouts, so you’re fully protected when winter hits, without the extra cost and risk of emergency work.
Yes, a roof de-icing cable system is completely safe.
In fact, by preventing ice dams, leaks, and freeze-thaw damage, they actually help extend the lifespan of your roof, gutters, and downspouts. Instead of adding stress, the system protects your roofing materials and keeps water flowing safely away from your home or business.
Yes, absolutely. If you choose our Basic Plug-In Cable system, it’s as simple as plugging it in when you see snow or ice forming. This option is perfect for homeowners who are home often and can monitor conditions.
For more convenience, we also offer Controller Systems
(so you can manage runtime) and Fully Automatic Sensor Systems that turn on by themselves—no monitoring needed.
Most jobs take 1–3 hours, depending on the size of the roof and
the severity of the ice buildup.
Basic Plug-In Cable: Plug it in when snow or ice starts forming and unplug it when it all melts.
Controller System: Turn it on for as long as needed during snow cycles.
Automatic Sensor System: No action required—it activates automatically when it detects snow or ice.
No.

Things to consider:
Is there currently snow and ice build up?
We'll need to remove that first.
Is the weather cooperating with us?
Dangerous weather conditions will have to be mitigated and can cause delays in the instillation of the cable system.
Yes. Absolutely. It stops the snow and ice from building up. With the right roof cable de-icing system, you never have to worry about ice dams again.
Manual Removal of Roof Ice
Traditionally, ice dams are dealt with after they form, using shovels, scrapers, or temporary heat sources.
This approach is reactive, risky, and costly: you’re exposing yourself to slipping hazards, potential roof damage, and expensive emergency repairs. Manual roof de-icing is only a short-term fix that often ends up costing more in the long run because you’re constantly battling ice buildup instead of preventing it from happening in the first place.
- Risky & Unsafe: Climbing on a snowy, icy roof can easily lead to slips and injuries.
- Damage to Roof & Gutters: Shovels, scrapers, and hammers can harm shingles, gutters, and downspouts.
- Time-Consuming & Repetitive: Every snowstorm requires you to work outdoors in freezing temperatures.
- Short-Term Fix: Ice will form again; it doesn’t stop the problem permanently.
- Slippery Sidewalks Warning: Even after you clear your roof, melting ice often refreezes on sidewalks—because who wants to practice an unplanned ice-skating routine before coffee?

With a Roof De-Icing Cable System, we install Heat-Line roof heating cables along your roof edges, gutters, and downspouts.
