Controlling Units
We recommend the system be activated with a snow/temp sensor (google DS-8) , with a timer (Intermatic), or through a smart home device such as (Lutron/Savant.) Our competitors use a more complex system with various transformers, step down power supplies and additional components. They are expensive and cumbersome. Please meet with your Electrician and decide which is the best way to go for your individual needs. At this time, Heated Roof Systems does not provide any controlling systems.
Energy Efficiency
Our heaters are activated by a timer and or a snow sensor. They turn on for approximately two hours a day. Although electrical rates vary nationwide, An example, for a heat band offering 14” of ice melt on a 100 foot run, would use 2.5 watt kilo hours. 9 cents (Excel Energy) times 2.5 equals 22.5 cents an hour, or $14 per month
Although no comparable study has been done to date, we claim our heated roof system to be the most energy efficient. This is determined by actually measuring the total melt area that we offer. “BE WARY OF FALSE CLAIMS ADVERTISED BY OUR COMPETITORS.” A certified roofer and licensed electrician will work with you to design the most effective and energy efficient system.
