Stop ice dams permanently with professional heated gutter systems in Ontario. Our self-regulating heat cables prevent ice buildup, eliminate dangerous icicles, and protect your home from costly winter damage. Serving Toronto, Hamilton, Mississauga, and all of Ontario.
Ontario's freeze-thaw cycles create perfect conditions for ice dams. Cities like Toronto, Hamilton, and Mississauga experience severe ice dam damage every winter, costing homeowners thousands in repairs.
Ice dams occur when heat escaping from your attic melts snow on your roof. This meltwater flows down to the colder eaves where it refreezes, creating a dam of ice. As more snow melts, water pools behind the dam and can seep under shingles, causing extensive damage to your home's interior.
In Ontario, our climate is particularly conducive to ice dam formation. The Greater Toronto Area, Hamilton, Niagara Region, and Southwestern Ontario all experience the freeze-thaw cycles that make ice dams so common and destructive. Without proper ice dam prevention, Ontario homeowners face significant risks every winter.
Our heated gutter systems use CSA-approved self-regulating heat cables that automatically adjust to temperature changes. When it's colder, they produce more heat. When it warms up, they use less energy. This smart technology provides reliable ice dam prevention while keeping operating costs low.

Common questions about ice dam prevention, heated gutter systems, and our services in Ontario.
Ice dams form when heat from your attic melts snow on the roof. The water runs down and refreezes at the cold eaves, creating a dam that backs up water under shingles. In Ontario, our freeze-thaw cycles and heavy snowfall make ice dams particularly common in cities like Toronto, Hamilton, Mississauga, and throughout the GTA.
Ice dam prevention systems in Ontario typically cost between $1,500-$4,000 for an average home, depending on roof size and complexity. This includes self-regulating heat cables, professional installation, and warranty. Compare this to ice dam damage repairs which often exceed $10,000-$20,000 including roof repair, water damage restoration, and mold remediation.
Yes, heated gutter systems with self-regulating heat cables are the most effective ice dam prevention solution available. They maintain a clear path for snowmelt to drain, preventing the ice buildup that causes dams. Our systems are proven effective in temperatures as low as -40°C, protecting homes throughout Ontario's harshest winters.
Modern self-regulating heat cables are extremely safe and energy-efficient. They automatically adjust power output based on temperature - using more energy when it's coldest and less as temperatures rise. CSA-approved and GFCI-protected, they typically cost $15-30/month to operate during winter months, far less than repairing ice dam damage.
While DIY kits exist, professional installation is strongly recommended for safety and effectiveness. Improper installation can create fire hazards, void warranties, and fail to prevent ice dams. Our CSA-certified technicians ensure proper cable placement, secure mounting, and safe electrical connections throughout Toronto, Hamilton, and all of Ontario.
Yes! Our commercial-grade self-regulating heat cables are rated for extreme Canadian winters and function reliably down to -40°C. The self-regulating technology automatically increases heat output as temperatures drop, ensuring your gutters stay clear even during the coldest Ontario winters.
Quality heated gutter systems with self-regulating cables typically last 15-25 years with minimal maintenance. Our systems come with a 10-year warranty on heat cables and are designed specifically for Ontario's harsh climate. Combined with our micro-mesh gutter guards (40-year warranty), you get complete long-term protection.
EavesArmour ICE combines self-regulating heat cables with our premium 316 stainless steel micro-mesh gutter guards - the only system offering dual protection.
