Their customer service is top notch. Super helpful and they even created a diagram that clearly illustrates what needs to be done for my particular project.

WOW! I'm a DIYer with a lot of questions living in heavy snow country. Other companies steer me onto chat that they don't answer. Matt of Radiant took all the time I needed & was VERY knowledgeable. I love that they sell gutter heat tape separators (which local outfits had never heard of!). If you also find their website more informative than others... YES!!! I've placed my order knowing it's with the best.

I contacted radiant solutions company through their contact us tab on the website. Matt answered my email very promptly. I had a few more questions so I sent him another email and he called me right back by phone instead of chatting back-and-forth n email. He took the time to answer all my questions and give me inside tips on installation. I highly recommend them and I highly recommend Matt as a sales / customer service representative.

We are so pleased with the service and product from this company. The self regulating pipe heating cables that we have purchased have kept our pipes in our RV from freezing and running smoothly in this super cold winter. They have been easy to install and monitor. I would highly recommend ALL of the products from this company.

This is a fantastic company with well thought out and high-quality products. The 'kits' for cable ends, tees and terminals are complete and easy to install. All instructions are complete and excellent support is available. The paper installation manual is a complete planning and installation guide. Company support is first rate. Highly recommended vendor.

Excellent products from an outstanding company. Very glad everything is American made and it shows! I contacted the company twice before ordering and I received an answer within the hour. Shipping was vey fast since I ordered on Friday and was delivered on Monday! The 10 year warranty is superior and instructions are clear. There is not another heat cable on the market that even come close to these guys.

You can install Heat Tape on pretty much any type of roof.

No. Not even close.

Our cables operate at between 40ºF to 90ºF so they will not melt or damage any surface or material they come into contact with. Except chocolate. Our cables will thoroughly melt chocolate.

There is no difference.

The terms heat cable, heat tape and heat trace are all used interchangeably to described heated cables used to protect pipes from freezing, preventing roof and gutter ice dams from forming and for safeguarding temperature sensitive components.

Other terms we’ve seen used regarding Heat Tape are:

  • Heat Coils & Heating Coils – Heat Tape has been called this because of the way the zig-zag pattern looks like a heating coil-element (like inside of a toaster)
  • Gutter Trace – Heat Tape get’s called this because of the usage in and around gutters

Yes!

You must cover pipe, freeze prevention, cable with insulation under all circumstances. Otherwise it will likely fail to do its job. This includes both Pipe Freeze Pro and Heat Tape Pro. 

Use a minimum 1/2″ thickness standard pipe insulation.

Here’s a handy guide that explains the steps of measuring so you know which length of heat tape to get.

Measuring the area of your roof that is affected by ice dams so you know how much heat tape to get is not overly complex, but it does have a few variables. Use our Heat Tape Measuring Guide to understand the process and print a worksheet that you can use to make sure you have all the right numbers.

Once you have all the measurements and considerations you need, use our Heat Tape Calculator to calculate the size of heat tape you should get.

No.

Heat tape cables should not be installed in any permanently hidden areas.

No. Pipe Freeze PRO is not designed for use in outdoor conditions.

The cable can be exposed to wetness but the thermostat must stay dry to function properly. Use Pipe Freeze PRO for pipe freeze prevention applications only.
