Winters in New York can be hard on gutter systems, with snow and ice collecting in the channels and compromising their effectiveness. To protect the fixtures from winter conditions, the remodeling specialists at Home Works Home Improvement, servicing Long Island, recommend installing PermaThaw^® Gutter Heating Systems. Below, the premier remodeling contractors share a brief guide to the gutter system’s capabilities and how it will benefit your property. 

How the Advanced Gutter System Technology Works

To keep snow and ice away from gutters, the PermaThaw process is relatively simple. Low-level heat cables are first installed in the area of the gutter system with the M-channel component. After, a protective cover is placed on top of the network. The cover serves as a natural barrier to snow and ice. If any does enter the system, the heating element will melt it. The liquid drains away from the property before settling in the gutters and causing problems.

Why the System Benefits Property Owners

Maintaining the gutter and roof system can be difficult in winter, when icy conditions make it unsafe to climb ladders or walk on slippery surfaces. The PermaThaw Gutter Heating System is designed to reduce the potential dangers of gutter upkeep, preventing ice and snow buildup without manual assistance. Snow and ice melt before settling in the channels, reducing the likelihood of icicles forming that could make the area unsafe.
