With a lot of researching on the matter the 200' cable was the most logical and economical solution for me. If you're not gentle with the cable you will damage it underneath the insulation rendering it useless. Ice on top of the cables, little tunnels that was actually channeling the water into the gutters which were full of ice too even though I had the cable double run in them with the provided spacers. Also, by plugging it in as soon as the snow starts it keeps the snow and ice completely melted in the gutters and won't allow ice to form in the first place! If Jo had a snow-and-ice-free roof and plugged the cable in when the snow or ice-rain or whatever started and kept the cable on the whole time, there is no way the ice could have formed that much around the cable."
"I had one cable each in both the front and rear gutters to prevent ice from building up, and they worked. Some tips on the installation: 1) I would wait until at least midmorning when the sun has been shining on the roof for an hour or two before you install this. 3) When you are putting the cable through the downspout, it helps to tie a small stone to the end of the cable to give it some weight. My roofline is 31 ft/10 meters long, and it took about 2 hours to install the cable along the roof."
"I used chalk on my shingles to mark the measure for 15" separation, installed all the clips and then hung the wire at one time."
"Didn't notice any real difference in my electric bill even when I left it on around the clock."
"I ordered this because the ice dam could be so thick that ice melt in a panty hose is no match."
