In Action
This thermal image shows our heat cables working in real-time. Orange = active heating, melting ice to keep water flowing freely.
Watch Ice Melt
In Real-Time
Our self-regulating heat cables glow with efficient warmth, actively melting ice and snow as it forms. No ice dams. No icicles. No damage.
Heated End to End
Ordinary heat cables only warm the roof edge. EavesArmour ICE is different — the heat runs the full length of the system, stopping ice damming, freezing, and backup everywhere it starts.
Full Top of the Gutter
Heat covers the entire top surface, so snow and ice melt on contact instead of building into a dam.
Inside the Eavestrough
The channel itself stays warm, keeping meltwater flowing freely instead of refreezing in the trough.
Down the Downpipe
Heat continues all the way down the downpipe, so nothing freezes solid or backs up at the exit.
You're In Full Control
Run the system from a smart app on your phone or an inside wall switch — turn it on exactly when winter demands it, no ladders and no guesswork.
Completely Sealed & Safe
The entire system is sealed with no electrical components exposed — safe, weatherproof, and built to disappear into your roofline.
Every Season. Covered.
Micro-mesh blocks debris in fall. Heat cables prevent ice in winter. Complete protection, every day of the year.
Debris Blocked
Leaves sit on top—water flows through.

Canada's Only True Heated Gutter Guards — What Sets Them Apart
Updated October 6, 2026 · From our Ontario heated gutter guard installation team
Why Ontario Homes Need Heated Gutter Guards
Standard micro-mesh gutter guards block leaves and debris, but they do nothing to stop ice. In Ontario's climate — with freeze-thaw cycles from October through March, lake-effect snow from Georgian Bay to Lake Ontario, and extended cold snaps that dip to −30°C — unheated gutters and downpipes freeze solid every winter. When they do, snowmelt from the warm roof surface has nowhere to drain and backs under the shingles, causing the ceiling stains and insulation damage that make up the majority of Ontario home insurance winter claims.
Heated gutter guards solve this by maintaining a melt channel through the guard, the gutter trough, and the downpipe continuously — eliminating the ice dam cycle rather than coping with it. EavesArmour ICE is Canada's only heated gutter guard engineered and manufactured for Canadian winter conditions. Every system is tested to −40°C.
Heated Gutter Guards: What to Look for When Comparing
- Full-system heating, not roof-edge-only — the cable must heat the guard surface, the inside of the eavestrough, and the full downpipe. Partial-heat systems leave cold-bridges where ice still forms.
- Self-regulating cable technology — automatically increases output at colder spots along the cable; a fixed-output cable wastes energy and may under-heat critical junctions.
- CSA/UL certification — Canadian-market heated gutter guards must carry CSA approval; a UL-only listing means the product was tested to American standards only.
- Transferable warranty covering both components — both the heat cable and the guard mesh should carry transferable warranties; most competitors warrant them separately with different terms.
Where Heated Gutter Guards Make the Biggest Difference in Ontario
Not every Ontario home needs heated gutter guards — but for homes with north-facing roof sections, Escarpment-adjacent properties with extended shade, Georgian Bay lakefront homes exposed to heavy snow-squall events, and older homes with low-slope eave overhangs, heated gutter guards are the only solution that reliably prevents ice dam damage year after year. Our installation team serves homes across Ontario, with the highest concentration of heated gutter guard installations in Barrie, Hamilton, Toronto, and Orillia — the communities where winter conditions justify the investment most strongly.

Common Questions
Absolutely. The EavesArmour ICE system is specifically engineered and tested for extreme Canadian winters. Our self-regulating heat cables automatically increase their output in colder areas to ensure continuous ice dam prevention even at temperatures as low as -40°C.
Yes, completely. Our heat cables are UL listed and CSA approved with multiple safety features including ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection. The self-regulating design means the cables physically cannot overheat—there is zero fire risk. All installations are performed by CSA-certified technicians.
Most residential installations are completed in a single day (6-8 hours) by our team of CSA-certified technicians. The system plugs into a standard outdoor GFCI outlet, so no electrician is required for most installations.
Virtually none. The micro-mesh guard keeps your gutters clear of debris year-round, and the heat cables operate automatically whenever temperatures drop below 3°C. Simply plug in the system before winter and forget about it.
Yes! We can retrofit heat cables to your existing EavesArmour Standard gutter guard system. Contact us for a retrofit assessment and quote.
Yes, both the 10-year heat cable warranty and lifetime micro-mesh warranty are fully transferable to new homeowners at no additional cost.
Everywhere it needs to. Unlike ordinary roof cables, EavesArmour ICE heats the full top of the gutter, the inside of the eavestrough, and all the way down the downpipe. That stops ice damming, freezing, and backup end to end — not just at the roof edge.
You're always in control. EavesArmour ICE can be operated from a smart app on your phone or from an inside wall switch, so you decide exactly when the system runs. The whole system is completely sealed with no electrical components exposed.
Yes. EavesArmour is Canadian made and Canadian owned, and it's Canada's only heated gutter guard. Most gutter guards sold here come from U.S. companies where your money leaves the country — choosing EavesArmour keeps your investment Canadian.
EavesArmour is available in both 5-inch and 6-inch profiles to match your eavestroughs, and the extruded, anodized aluminum frame — the thickest, heaviest-duty in its category — fits any roof type.
Most heated gutter guards sold in Canada are American products with heat cables added as an afterthought — the cable runs along the roof edge only and does not heat the gutter trough or the downpipe. EavesArmour ICE is the only system engineered in Canada that heats the full guard surface, the inside of the eavestrough, and the entire downpipe from top to outlet. The self-regulating cable technology automatically increases output in colder spots, so there are no cold-bridges where ice can still form. That full-system heating — not roof-edge-only heating — is what prevents ice damming entirely rather than just delaying it.
