With over 15 years of experience, and after serving thousands of homeowners like you, I have learned that people want a few simple things from a roofing contractor. They want to know the company will deal with them honestly and with respect, have the expertise to deliver the highest quality at a good value, and be there to stand behind the work. When we started Rhino-Back Roofing the foundation of the entire company and all of our processes centers around focusing on these simple but uncommon values everyday. HONESTY, RESPECT, UNCOMPROMISING QUALITY, FAIRNESS and COMMITMENT. Additionally, for your peace of mind, our roofing work carries a COMPREHENSIVE LABOR & MATERIALS WARRANTY backed in writing by the industry's top manufacturer. We also accept major credit cards. It would be our pleasure to evaluate your roofing needs.

"Salesmen all through the process told me I would pay my deductible and maybe a couple hundred for plywood. After the job I got a bill for 4000$ for plywood after being assured throughout the process that my insurance was gonna cover everything. Do not recommend. High pressure sales tactics that will say whatever you want to hear to make a sale. "

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in West-hartland, CT

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.
