DON’T LET ICE DAMS WRECK YOUR WINTER

Protecting mountain homes from extreme weather can be very challenging, and ice dams have been an especially hot topic this winter. Frequent snowy conditions increase the build-up of ice dams on rooftops, which can lead to leaks, mold and extensive structural damage.

Many people install heat cables (or heat tape) on their roofs to protect their homes. Heat cables prevent ice dams from forming by creating drainage channels. However, they draw a significant amount of energy, increasing carbon emissions and making them very expensive to operate.

Experts estimate that an average-sized home’s heat cable setup consumes enough electricity to drive a Tesla Model 3 around the Earth 2.5 times each winter! While heat tape can melt away snow and ice, the power it requires is burning up your wallet.

Powder Watts Smart Technology

Powder Watts is state-of-the-art technology that combines an AI cloud platform with intelligent sensors and smart switches to optimize heat cable for peak efficiency. Powder Watts converts energy-hungry heat cable into an automated system that can control rooftop snow hazards, simplify cable maintenance and save money. Here’s how:

Smart Sensors Communicate Roof Conditions To The Cloud

Powder Watts has managed an average heat cable off-time of 92%. In other words, heat cables only need to run about 8% of the time to be 100% effective in protecting a property from potentially catastrophic ice dam damage.

Offers Visual Capabilities

Powder Watts uses smart camera technology to monitor and control heat cable. Homeowners can see for themselves the state of their roofs from their smartphones. As the roof conditions change, AI-backed technology alerts homeowners of snow and ice build-up, circuit breaker trips and disabled or worn cables and stops ice damage before it happens. Now, that's smart!

Requires Professional Installation For Product Guarantee

Powder Watts’ patented hardware monitors rooftop conditions and lets the cloud platform know when creating or maintaining drainage channels is necessary and when it's not. Over the past four years,

Let the professionals install your cable to ensure correct installation, optimum efficiency and guaranteed service. Powder Watts guarantees its product for 10 years in extreme weather conditions.

Wireless System

Best of all, the system does not need an external power source to monitor snow conditions. The wireless camera can store enough solar power to last the entire winter under the snow and can withstand temperatures up to 140 degrees and down to negative 40 degrees.

For home protection and service you can trust, Powder Watts offers expertise and innovation that is transforming the industry. The National Science Foundation has recognized Powder Watts for their excellence in contributions in the areas of heat cable management, AI, machine/ computer vision, energy saving, structure protection and grid protection.
