"I found Mr. Hershberger on angies list, after seachingh for a contractor to fix a supposed problem in my attic, according to homeowners insurance company. When I contacted him he was very helpful in answering all my questions and when he came out to my house to inspect the situation, he also called the windstorm inspection company on my behalf to get clarification . I ultimately hired him to install accordian hurricane shutters throughtout my home. His company did exellent work and I was 100% percent satisfied. I will definitely hire him again for other home improvements/ upgrades.

"The furnace took 4 days to get approved( not counting a Sunday) the others were quick but the water heater had to be ordered so without hot water for a week. One ceiling fan was easy but within a year their policy changed and They would not install the one I purchased and had to get a new one approved and then ordered online and took several weeks to get straightened out. Not sure who was at fault, AHS, installer or scheduling with renter. Fee is usually $75 per visit"

"We had a coupon through our daughter for them.  They would have probably initially charged $6000.00 or $7000.00, but we had a nice coupon.  She saw their sign when she was riding.  She asked some of her co-workers about Eicher's and she heard that they were very good and that they had a good product.  We got life time shingles called weather watch instead of felt.  We were really pleased with it.  They did the job.  They had quite a few guys out there.  I think they did really well.  I did get other estimates and until the coupon came up I was about to say no to them because their price was more.  The guy told me about the product and the change in what they do and what normal roofers were doing.  We had had our roof done years before and my husband wasn't too pleased with it.  He was sitting and listening for everything that he had problems with to see if they would address them.  He was really impressed with a new material called weather watch and another kind of weatherstrip.  They did a little extra from what the regular roofers would put with just the felt and then the shingles.  They replaced some of the decking and they put the new material which has the shingles lying flatter so you didn't have to worry about water getting in and causing problems.  My husband knows a lot about roofing because he did a lot of stuff like that.  He has gotten to the age where he couldn't deal with the heat up there so we wanted to get someone to do it.  I asked other people too and they said they had heard about Eicher's.  It's a family owned company.  They came out and they did a great job.  We are pleased with it.  They came in the time they said they were coming.  I would recommend them to a friend or a neighbor.  My husband sat up there with them and said that they did good work.  The company knew that he was looking.  The owner said they appreciated that and that my husband now knew what they went through in a run of the day.  My husband wanted to make sure he watched and make sure that they moved the decking like they were supposed to and not covered it up like the company did before.  The guys did a really good job.  We didn't have any problems with them.  They all were very nice.  They cleaned up around very well."

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Suwannee, FL

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.
