How it works
Heat cable prevents ice dams, it does not remove them
A common misconception is that heat cable melts all the snow off your roof. It does not, and it is not designed to. What it does is create a continuous channel of melted water along your roof edge, through your gutters, and down your downspouts so that water can drain freely instead of refreezing into an ice dam.
The snow above stays in place, which actually helps insulate your roof. The cable focuses its energy exactly where ice dams form: at the eave, in the gutter, and at the top of the downspout.
Raychem self-regulating cable adjusts its own heat output based on the ambient temperature. Colder conditions produce more heat. Warmer conditions produce less. No thermostat, no manual controls, no risk of overheating.

Why HighPeak
One team from roof to panel
Most contractors either do the roofing or the electrical work. We do both, which means the installation is coordinated from start to finish.
Master electricians on staff
The final connection to your outlet or panel is done by a licensed master electrician, not a roofer with a plug. Code compliant every time.
Raychem product expertise
We have installed Raychem self-regulating cable for years with zero warranty claims. We know the product, the layout requirements, and the failure points to avoid.
Roof-specific layout design
Every roof is different. We design cable layouts based on your specific roof geometry, not a one-size-fits-all pattern.
Pairs with our gutter work
If you are also getting new gutters, we coordinate the installation so cable routing and gutter placement work together from day one.
Mountain-specific experience
We work in Summit, Eagle, Park, and Routt Counties every day. We know how ice dams form at altitude and exactly where to put the cable.

FAQ
Heat cable questions, answered
Common questions from homeowners and property managers across Colorado's mountain counties.
Self-regulating heat cable contains a conductive polymer core that automatically adjusts its heat output based on the surrounding temperature. When it gets colder, the cable produces more heat. When temperatures rise, it produces less. This prevents overheating, saves energy, and eliminates the need for thermostats or manual controls. Raychem is the industry-leading brand for this technology.
No. Heat cable is not designed to melt all the snow on your roof. It creates a channel of melted water along the roof edge and through the gutters and downspouts so that water can drain freely rather than refreezing into an ice dam. The snow above remains in place, which actually provides insulation value.
When properly installed, Raychem self-regulating cable does not damage roofing materials. The self-regulating technology prevents it from overheating. HighPeak Roofs has installed this product for years with zero warranty claims related to roof damage.
Both voltages use the same self-regulating technology. The 240v system is more efficient for longer cable runs and larger properties. Our master electricians assess your property's electrical panel, the length of cable needed, and your circuit capacity to recommend and install the correct system for your home.
Yes. Heat cable must be connected to your electrical panel or a dedicated outlet by a licensed electrician to meet Colorado building code and protect your home insurance coverage. HighPeak Roofs handles the full installation through our master electricians, from the cable layout on the roof to the final panel connection.
Cable requirements depend on your roof geometry, eave length, gutter configuration, downspout locations, and the areas where ice dams have historically formed. We provide a free on-site assessment to diagnose exactly where cable is needed and give you a written estimate for the full system.
