Less is more?
Happy spring. If you haven’t done it yet, you may turn off your heat tape (or any heating system for driveways or patios). Remember, these are great, convenient ways to prevent buildup of snow and ice, but they are not there for melting late-winter snows. Heat tape is commonly installed on north-facing roofs to prevent damage that could be caused by ice dams. Please know that conditions for ice dams are behind us.
If you live downvalley, when February arrives next year, notice if the heat tape has kept the snow from building-up on the eaves of your roof where ice dams form. By then, the job is probably done. Warmer daytime temperatures and higher sun in March can be expected to melt off the new snow, and your heat tape can be turned off.
