How it works
Few businesses in Minnesota confirm heated gutters on their own websites. The state energy office's caution about roof heat cables, that they add to energy costs, is worth weighing for any heated system at the roof edge.
- Ask which product is installed and how it is powered.
- Ask what it costs to run in a typical winter.
- Check the business's license with the state before signing.
When to call
Call when gutters fill with ice every winter and you want to compare a heated system with fixing the attic heat loss behind it.
- Gutters sagging, overflowing or iced fixes cause
