Since our founding in 1980, Northeast Home & Energy has been providing professional home improvement services in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut. Starting out as a small contractor, our reputation for using quality materials, installed to the highest standards, quickly spread. We install high quality roofing systems, gutter systems, vinyl siding and replacement windows. Additional DBA - Northeast Home & Energy Inc.
"After initial meeting with a project manager (Kyle) and looking at sample materials for shingles, ice and snow barrier and other items, we received contract listing itemized details very quickly. I asked for a work order change to add another gutter then accepted the contract. Job was started within the estimated time frame. House was protected by tarps and yard kept as clean as possible during the tear down and construction. The roofing was completed in 1 day and looked beautiful. The requested over-hang looks good and gives a lower roof and siding protection from ice/snow in winter. The gutter worked like a charm several days later when it rained. Total job took 2.5 days. Definitely plan on using them on future projects (new porch doors and insulation of attic) in near future. Very professional. Easy to work with. Added bonus they are only 1 town over from ours. Very pleased with them and their work."

"Fairview does not stand by their warranty or their commitments. Shingles flew off from wind and called them in June. It is now October and they have not done the repair. I have a tarp over the area that needs repair. This is the second time since installation that shingles flew off due to wind. Guy who answers the phone is extremely rude."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Cummington, MA
A typical heat cable uses 5 watts per foot, regardless of the outside temperature. So, if your cable is 100 feet long, it uses 500 watts per hour. Expect to pay an additional $40 to $200 or more per month on your electricity bill. Be sure to turn manual cables off in the summer when you don't need them.
To install heat tape on your roof, place it along the lower edge in a precise zig-zag pattern to maximize coverage and heat distribution. Professional installers secure the tape with specialized clips that attach firmly to your shingles. This method ensures even heat distribution to effectively melt ice and snow while maintaining your roof's integrity during severe winter conditions.
Choosing between heated gutters and roof heating cables usually comes down to budget, appearance, and performance. Heated gutters cost less to install and blend seamlessly with your home’s exterior, making them a discreet, lower-cost option for preventing ice dams. Roof heating cables deliver more customizable and powerful heat along roof edges to handle heavy snow and ice, but they require more material and labor, increasing your upfront investment. Evaluate your roof design, winter weather demands, and energy budget to select the system that works best for your property.
Roof heating cables prevent ice dams by melting snow and stopping ice buildup at the roof edge. Ice damming occurs when melting snow refreezes on a cold roof—often right above the gutter line—and blocks water from draining, which can force moisture under shingles into your home. Heating cables maintain a warm channel that clears ice dams as soon as they form and protects your roof from water damage and structural issues.
Roof heating cables last between two and ten years before replacement is needed, wearing out faster than your roof itself. Their lifespan depends on climate severity, cable type, and exposure to physical damage. Consistent inspections and preventative maintenance—such as clearing debris, tightening clips, and checking electrical connections—can extend their service life and ensure reliable snow and ice protection each winter.
To safely remove snow from your roof, start with a specially designed roof rake, standing firmly on the ground and pulling snow downhill rather than climbing onto the roof. You can also apply calcium chloride ice melt to break up stubborn ice or gently use a secured rope from a safe vantage point.
Keep in mind that large snow slabs can weigh hundreds of pounds and pose a serious fall risk. If conditions are hazardous or you lack the right equipment, hire a professional to protect your safety and your roof’s integrity.
