Conquer Buffalo's Winter with Heated Gutters from Roth's Gutter Solutions

Why Install Heat Wire in Your Gutters?

The purpose of heat wire is simple: to prevent ice dams from forming in your gutters and downspouts. Ice dams occur when melting snow refreezes at the edge of your roof and in your gutters, creating a blockage. This blockage can cause water to back up, potentially leading to:


  • Roof damage: Water can seep under shingles and cause leaks.
  • Gutter damage: The weight of the ice can damage or even break your gutters.
  • Property damage: Overflowing water can damage siding, landscaping, and walkways.
  • Safety hazards: Falling ice can pose a risk to people and property.



Heat wire gently warms the gutters and downspouts, melting the snow and ice and allowing water to flow freely away from your home.


Roth's Gutter Solutions typically installs self-regulating heat wire. This type of wire is preferred because:


  • Energy efficiency: Self-regulating wires adjust their heat output based on the surrounding temperature. They use more energy when it's colder and less when it's warmer, saving you money on your energy bill.
  • Safety: They are less likely to overheat compared to constant wattage wires.
  • Durability: They are designed to withstand harsh winter conditions.


While other types of heat wire exist, our experience has shown self-regulating wire to be the most effective and reliable solution for the Buffalo climate.
