Your Solution to Ice Damns in Salt Lake City

Sol-Ice has developed the finest hydronic ice dam solution on the market. We at Raintight Roofing understand that ice dams are a huge problem, but the energy costs required to operate electric snowmelt systems can be even more frustrating. Heat Cable, extruded aluminum, the Bylin RIM system and heated mesh systems all use up to 10 times more energy than Sol-Ice’s SubHydroMelt system.

SubHydroMelt is the most efficient hydronic ice dam solution on the market. This system uses heat generated by a boiler, instant hot water unit, solar thermal panels or even geothermal heat pumps. This system uses 90% less energy than heat cable. As with all their Sub systems, SubHydroMelt is completely concealed, hiding under your roof surface. It does its job of controlling ice dams without adversely affecting the building’s architecture. SubHydroMelt is our most energy efficient and cost effective system.  Completely concealing SubHydroMelt solves many problems seen in competitor’s systems.

This hydronic ice dam solution is the most energy efficient product on the market. It is 8 to 10 times more energy efficient that zig-zag heat cable. In the green age, we are proud to say SubHydroMelt uses no electricity in its operation. The system can be powered by natural gas boiler, instant hot water units, solar thermal (using either our SubSolarThermal system or traditional solar thermal panels) or geothermal heat pumps.
