Roof and Gutter De-Icing

Drexan Energy Systems offers a line of UV-stabilized cables and connection components to eliminate ice build-up in gutters, drains and on roofs.

Backed by the industry’s best warranty!


Ice build-up on roofs and in drains can result in hazards for personnel and equipment. Processes that generate heat during winter conditions can often result in significant ice build-up over doorways and on rooflines that can cause structural damage.

Drexan HeatTracer MultiTrace products are ideal for maintaining gutters, downspouts and roofs free of snow and ice buildup on buildings and other structures. MultiTrace is designed to self-regulate its heat output by tailoring its current flow to ambient conditions in the most extreme climatic temperatures. This cable can be cut to length in the field allowing for quick and easy installation.
