Products Installed: Lifetime Warranty Heated Charcoal Gutter Topper
Dennison Exterior Solutions & Gutter Topper as gutter protection contractors in Saint Joseph Michigan installed the Heated Gutter Topper system on this home. The roof had experienced significant ice buildup due to lack of proper ventilation. Heated Gutter Topper is not the first line of defense against icicles or ice dams forming at the eave edge. Proper ventilation is at the forefront of the fight against ice. Its common that the build up of ice is due to the inability of the roof to cycle airflow at differing temperatures inside and outside the home. Icicles or ice dams appear due to the melting of snow on your roof. The water runs down the roof and then refreezes at the edge. Many preventative measures can be taken to eliminate this icy culprit. These include; unblocking intake vents, replacing older static vents with a filtered ridge vent, adjustments of the insulation, and installing an adequate number of vents. All of which can be accomplished with a roof replacement. Another preventative measure product that helps alleviate this issue is the Heated Gutter Topper system which will melt away the ice built up at the edge near the gutters.
Gutter Topper was specifically engineered to be installed over your existing gutters however, Dennison Exterior Solutions & Gutter Topper as gutter cover contractors in Saint Joseph Michigan recommends that we replace your gutters if your current gutter system was originally installed with the outdated spike and ferrule fastener system as those systems are almost impossible to be adjusted for proper drainage.

The Heated Gutter Topper System
The Gutter Topper gutter cover system already includes a unique Ice Release™ system. The Ice Release™ system uses the natural expansion and contraction of the aluminum panel as the temperature outside fluctuates. This process helps move the ice off the edge of your roof and onto the ground.
The Heated Ice Release™ system uses a tough low voltage cable which helps eliminate icicles at the eave edges of your home. This cable can be installed inside your existing gutter system with the Gutter Topper gutter covers installed on top.
We simply choose a downspout location that is nearest an electrical outlet and notch a hole on the side of the downspout and insert the special cable. This cable is then fed down to the end of your downspout where the water flows out and then is run back up the downspout to where the downspout connects to your gutters. The cable is then is routed and is installed on the inside bottom of your gutter to the end of your gutter system. We then attach the cable to the underside of the Gutter Topper gutter covers.
In the late fall customers normally turn on their system and leave it on for the entire winter. Our low voltage system does not use much energy at all.
Testing and customer experiences have told us that it is best to leave the system on at all time rather than to fail to remember to turn the system on at least 6 hours before snowfall. If you fail to do so it may take several days for the system to catch up and melt any ice that has formed. In addition, under heavy snow conditions we have found that it may also take several days to melt off any icicles however, experience has shown that on average during the worst conditions icicles will be kept to a minimum and no larger that your fingers.
