"The gentlemen from Superior Insulation discovered a missing piece of duct work that was causing air from the cold air return of our geothermal heating unit to be pulling air from the unconditioned attic space above our second floor bedrooms.  My husband installed the duct work.
They put blown in insulation above our family room, above our second floor bedrooms and on top of duct work inside knee walls running the length of the house and also did spray foam insulation around some small doors into knee walls.
The work done by Superior Insulation decreased our energy usage by 40%.
We would recommend Superior Insulation to anyone.

"First,, I received a very prompt response to my inquiry for service. Carlos then came out and gave me an extremely through overview of the entire project, not missing even the slightest detail. Every step was explained and every scenario which might incur additional expense was mentioned so there wouldn't be any surprises. As a result, the estimate was spot-on. The crew was courteous and professional throughout the job, which was completed start to finish in one day. I couldn't be more happy with the service and flexibility provided by Carlos and Shirley. I highly recommend their roofing services to anyone looking for the highest quality and value for their money."

"We recently had AJ Window & Door install the Owens Corning Duration roofing system. It is beautiful. The staff, including the installation crew, were both professional and easy to work with. The installation went smoothly and the clean-up was done impeccably. I would highly recommend both this product and this contractor. L.M., Denver, PA"

"Al responded very quickly to my inquiry and was able to fit us in much earlier than other reputable roofers in our area (big demand for roofers due to hail damage). They finished the house and garage roofs in one day and cleaned up well. His men damaged our whole attic vent fan while removing it and Al immediately ran out and bought a replacement at no extra charge. The new roof is weather-tight and has stood up to strong winds. The gutter company he uses did a fine job and were very cooperative with all my requests. I would use Coopers Roofers again."

"I strongly recommend this company. They were great to work with and responded very quickly to my initial request for an estimate. The roof looks great and I was impressed with how well they cleaned up. I had trouble with my gutters getting clogged but with the gutter guards now it’s no big deal!"

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Morgantown, PA

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.
