I just had my entire roof replaced. I am having new fascia and soffit installed along with new gutters all around the house. I live in northeast PA so the winter can be horrible up here.
I want to protect my new investment so I am having ice melting/heat lines installed around the entire edge and in the gutters of my roof.
Of course I can do the electrical work connections from the panel to the receptacles where they plug in but what I want to know is if I don't want to just have them on a switch in my house where I turn them on and off manually as the ice demands me to what can I use instead which may do it automatically?
Any kind of device which is made specifically for something like this? I want to figure what I will need before I start running the lines.
Any suggestions?
