FAQ’s
Q:
Can I get a copy of the Roof Cable Instructions?
Q:
Can I use a roof cable kit on the pipes in my basement?
No, you should use each product as per the instructions. The Roof Cable Kit is made for roofs only. For pipe application, you will need a Heat Cable Kit.
Q:
Do I need to have the Roof Cable Kit plugged in all the time? Or just when it gets cold?
The Best Practice is to plug the Cable Kit in, before the snow begins. You can then leave the cables powered on until the snow has melted from the roof. Once the temperatures rise above freezing, you can go ahead and unplug the cables.
Q:
How long of a cable kit do I need?
Measure the length of your gutters, specifically the amount you need to cover. Plus take note the lengths of overhangs and downspouts. Add these measurements together, and you'll know the length needed to purchase Frost King's Automatic Electric Roof Cable Kit. If you still have a Frost King product concern, contact us. It's all explained in the instructions (click here).
Q:
Can The Roof De-Icing Cable Kit lay directly in my gutters?
Q:
How many linear feet would 60 feet of Roof cable Provide?
When Installing the Roof Cable Kits on your roof edge using the "WWWW" pattern, a good rule of thumb is, for every 20 feet (including the downspout) of roof you plan to cover, you will need approximately 80 feet of Roof Cable. Ultimately though, it depends on the given overhang and other parts of the roof that needs to be protected. Take a look at the instruction manual for more information.
