Why call in a professional to install a roof heating wire?
On the face of it, installing a roof heating wire seems easy enough.
However, it’s important to make sure it’s positioned correctly to ensure its effectiveness and to avoid damaging the roof.
What’s more, working at height can be dangerous, especially in the event of a fall.
The consequences can be dramatic, even irreparable.
That’s why we advise you to use a qualified professional who has the tools and skills required to carry out this operation safely and appropriately.

Roof heating wire is a product designed to melt snow and prevent ice from forming.
It is essential in areas with harsh climatic conditions, such as Quebec.
On what type of roof should a heating wire be installed?
The risk of ice forming exists even on a sloping roof.
For this reason, we suggest installing heating wires on most roofs, including flat, slate and asphalt shingle roofs.
On the other hand, this system is not recommended for a metal roof, because of the likelihood of overheating.
Our technicians will inspect the structure and then advise you on the best options for protecting it and ensuring its longevity.
