RADIANT SOLUTIONS HeatTapePro, Intelligent Commercial Grade Self-Regulating Heat Cable with GlowCap™, 10-yr Warranty, Ice Dam & Pipe Freeze Protection, 100 ft cable + 10 Ft Cord, 120V, 6 watts/Ft

works great and is definitely high quality. at this price point i wish it would have come with clips verses having to buy them seperately.

We added an additional downspout and the installation of HeatTape Pro to deal with a recurring ice damming problem on our roof.High points:- Well made product from a USA company- Light indicator at both the plug and far end of the HeatTape Pro wire to indicate the unit is powered- Detailed installation manual (but would have been nice to see this ahead of purchase)Other points:- Does not include the required clips and hangers for mounting the HeatTape on a roof and in gutters- It's much easier to install the product if it's been fully unwound and straightened out- The length estimating tools were OK, but it would have been nice to have photos that highlight the different installation scenarios overlayed with line drawings to show the actual installation location of the product.- I took photographs and measurements of my home prior to installation and then printed and drew on the printout the route that the wire would take to get to all of the required roof, valley, gutter areas, and plug/power outlet.

We install heat tape professionally as part of our rain gutter business. We have installed miles of the stuff, and this is absolutely one of our favorite pre-built options. It's the flat commercial style and it seems to work well - our customers here have loved it so far - and Utah winters are brutal. Built well, installs smoothly, arrived quickly, we absolutely love this brand and its our go-to if we don't just build our own.So why not 5 stars then? Two reasons - first, it doesn't come with basic roof clips. Why? Because since this is commercial, the roof-clip makers take you to the cleaners. They are SUPER expensive when you are doing a large job. However, for the price I'm paying I would expect some included.Second, and I say this a lot, but I think this tape is over priced per linear foot. We usually just buy a spool and cut/build our own (which doesn't take long), but we've been so busy lately that it's easier to just buy what we need pre-assembled. It has some downsides, such as all the extra "wasted" tape you have to shove in the downspout - but paid a premium price for. When you build your own, you make it exactly the right size and don't waste tape. So we will try to build as much as we can, but if they offered this wholesale in bulk and made it more competitive, I'd just buy this for every install - its a great product and I highly recommend it.

Headline says it all. I got great pre- and post-sale support from RSC with regards to which product is best for my application, and then a few install questions before and after buying. I'll be buying more from this company for some other installs this summer, they're great. Way better than the big-box store brands at about 150-200% of the cost, but with a 10yr warranty vs 30 day warranty. Yes, 30 day is not a typo, that's what the big-box brands offer!

Definitely a commercial grade heat tape as opposed to a residential (short life) heat tape. The self regulating wattage feature based on outdoor temperatures is a tremendous advantage as compared to the cheaper constant wattage type heat tape sold at the big box stores.

Best thing about these products is that THEY WORK ! I used to have issues with ice dams and roof leaks but since installing the Heat Tape Pro system in my gutters with Hoover Dam gutter gaurds, the problem has been resolved. I have now been through 2 very long NH winters with no damming issues and will be installing similar set up at my garage this fall. They have a great customer service department as well. Completely satisfied. Highly recommended.

We use this on most of our high-end homes and commercial building projects. Without building your own, this is the best you can get. We install tape on 100 structures a year, and this is our preferred line. I do wish it was cheaper (I can build it for much cheaper) but we love the convenience of it.Highly recommended!

I just tested this with an ice pack. First, it was a PITA to unroll and make straight. Took a while to make that happen. Then testing with an Ice Pack to activate it. It gets very warm and after over an hour after taking the ice pak off but leaving the cable plugged in, it is not cooling down in my 80 degree living room. This doesn't feel like proper operation. I will be returning this item.

Used these in my gutters to keep them flowing through very cold Saskatchewan winter. Came quickly and very well packaged. Love the extra long 10ft cord for reaching outlet and the light at the end showing they are plugged in. Bought another cord once I saw the quality. Winter is just beginning so will update in Spring.

Saved my gutters thanks to it. Highly recommended!

With a low-slope roof, we depend on having good quality heating cables in our 7 downspouts. Over time, the ones provided by our builder are failing. I ordered 2 replacements from Radiant Solutions and they are absolutely superb quality. I can easily see these lasting far beyond the life span of the builder's cables. The fact that the connections are done at the factory, instead of after market, makes them far less likely to fail. The thickness of the cables is also superior to others we've seen. The glow of the plug and the light at the end of the cable, make it easy to see when we've turned them on. Very happy with this product and will do our best to only use this company's heating cables in future.

For two winters, mine is the only house in a row of south-facing townhouses that never has icicles. The cable runs though the gutter and drain pipe, and keeps them clear if left on all the time.Prior to installing this cable, I had to go up on the roof to clear ice throughout the winter. I can now say that this cable completely solved that problem.

We have a 1:12 slope roof and there is almost no insulation in the (uphill) roof of the original part of the house. The snow melts and trickles down to the well insulated part. We used to get massive icicles that looked like they would tear the corner of the house off. These are the first cables strong enough to keep a path melted so the water gets to the ground. See the 8' stalagmite from one of the loops. Excellent product.
