Gutter and pipe heating only monitors temperature and not moisture. There are two common types of solutions, fixed output and self-regulating. The fixed output solution has a sensor at the end of the cable and when the temperature drops below +100C the whole of the cable heats up. The self-regulating solution reacts to the temperature in sections and doesn’t have a sensor at the end of the cable. For example, if the east side of a house is colder than the rest, only that part of the cable will heat up. This means that only sections of the cable will turn on when they need to and there is no concern regarding placement of the sensor. Please contact us for more details.
