"We are making several home improvements including the installation of new windows that can greatly reduce energy loss in our 1980s home. We recently chose Power Home Remodeling to replace all of our 35-year-old second-floor windows and are pleased with both the windows and their installation. The double-hung vinyl windows look great and operate smoothly. Power Home Remodeling offers highly heat-resistant windows that were custom-designed and built for them by Pella - exactly what we were looking for. Installation went smoothly, with good communication prior to the install date. The crew arrived on time, talked to us about the process and worked efficiently. They finished their work, including thorough cleanup both inside and out, in just a few hours. A Power Home Remodeling representative visited us shortly after the installation to inspect the work, talk with us about a minor exterior-paint issue and arrange for that to be corrected to our satisfaction."

"I purchased a $49 Roof Tune Up Big Deal, because I knew I had a leak in the roof.  Charles found the leak, explained it, fixed it (covered by the $49 package), and I think more important, did not try to sell me anything else I really didn't need.

"Fantastic coordination with the owner Marc - he was prompt in providing an estimate.  Over and above expections in his ability to adjust the schedule for my needs.  The crew was on time, courteous, highly skilled and they cleaned the job site after the work was complete.  When the bill came up it was at the agreed price.
I had other estimates and MI Electric was the best price, value and service.  Would hire these folks again for any sized project!!

"Gary, was very helpful and pointed me on the right direction after I had discussed my concerns. Had he been able to help me I would have gladly hired him. My system ended up being under warranty and he suggested I contact the manufacture as to not void my warranty."

"I had an emergency service request due to the weather a couple tree branches fell on my roof and one went through slightly. I called to get a quote and they they came right away. Gave me a couple of options on the shingles and underlayment. They started next morning and cleared up my roof of the branches and cut the one that had gone through and a couple others that were on the way. They removed the bad wood from the damage and installed new one. Then they changed the shingles. The gentleman gave me a quote for the ceiling and repaired that too. I'm very pleased with the result and glad I didn't have to call other people to get the other jobs done."

"Solar Interest were great throughout the entire process of reroofing my home and installing a solar system. They were never overly pushy or trying to sell me. Instead they educated me about solar and the savings I would see, and did a fantastic job on my roof. I would definitely hire them again."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in New London, NC

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.
