Park City Resident Gets Rid of His Ice Dam The Eco Friendly Way.

SubHydroMelt after a storm

Glenn's House with heat cable

Glenn Wright has just replaced his unsightly and expensive heat cable with an eco friendly solution to ice dams. As a member of the Carbon Footprint group in Park City Utah he wants to make sure that everything he does reduces his personal carbon foot print. Looking over his utility bills Glenn realized that his heat cable on the front of his house was using HALF of all of his winter electricity. After seeing an article in the Park Record earlier this year he decided that the Sol-Ice SubHydroMelt system would be the answer. Joseph Lambert of Xcellence was hired to install the system. After many hours of working with the city to get this new product aproved and with permit in hand Joseph and his team proceeded to remove the shingles from Glenn’s porch and installed the panels for the SubHydroMelt Hydronic ice dam solution. The Building Integrated designof this system makes it invisible in the summer because it is installed under the shingles.

Not All Ice Dam Products Are Created Equal.

This is the most efficient solution to solving ice dams in the world. The Sol-Ice Hydronic ice dam solution is as much as 20 times more efficient than heat cable based systems.

Get Rid of Heat Cable, Get Rid of the Risk of Fire

Glenn's Eve. Notice how you can not see the system?

There is no risk of fire which is an ongoing problem with heat cable. Just ask the Park City Fire Chief!

Building Integrate Ice Dam Design just looks better

The system is concealed under the roofing so that there is no ugly heat cable or

other strange design element that shows up all summer long. Sol-Ice competitors like Bylin (RIM System, Roof Icicle Melt), Thermal Technologies T-Zone and T-Panel systems, Disco and Associates Heat Trace Systems and Summit Ice Melt Systems with the Radiant Edge system all have followed the same design ideas. Extruded Aluminum and 240 Watt Heat Trace (or Heat Cable depending on how you like to say it.)

There Have Been Some Improvements in Ice Dam Products

Notice how there is no sign of the system. That is the beauty of Building Integrated Design

There are a few competitors that have developed alternatives to the standard Technitrace, Chomolox, easyheat or the leader in the industry Raychem which is owned by Tyco. These solutions are Building Integrated Snow Melt solutions which helps make them more attractive but at the end of the day Heated Roof Systems, Heatizon and Warmzone are still electric and use far more energy than a Hydronic solution.

Why Heat with Electricity When Gas is So Much More Efficient?

Now you can see how even the heat is!

When was the last time you heard of a drive way being installed with an electric snow melt instead of Hydronic? Who would heat their home with and electric radiant floor system if they can install a hydronic one? How many people have electric furnaces or water heaters instead of gas. The truth is we all know that gas is more efficient and better for the environment than electricity.
