Commercial-grade heat cable systems for Anchorage roofs — designed to the way your roof drains, installed without a single hole in your shingles, and explained until you understand exactly how your system works.

NOAA gives an 81% chance of one of the strongest El Niños on record — and for Southcentral that historically means a warmer, snow-heavy, thaw-prone winter. Warm plus snowy is exactly the melt-refreeze pattern that builds ice dams. We break down the forecast, with every scientific source linked.

Water coming in now? We steam dams off all winter — then show you how to stop the problem.

Engineered snow guards and rails that hold a winter's snowpack in place — so it doesn't come down on your deck, your gutters, or somebody walking below.
Learn more →Every clip is set with construction adhesive — we don't screw or drill into your roofing. (Snow retention is the engineered exception: it carries structural load, so it gets mechanical attachment done right.)
Drone mapping and measurements before any price. Your quote comes with a diagram of exactly where every foot of cable runs — and why.
Before we design anything, we check what your panel can actually carry — so there are no surprises mid-job, and nobody tells you at the last minute that you need a service upgrade. Every system also gets the ground-fault protection the electrical code requires for roof deicing, installed to the manufacturer's spec: that's what protects your house and keeps the 10-year warranty behind your cable.
How it works, why we designed it that way, what to expect all winter. Education is part of the job, not an upsell.
Heat cable is the specialty here, not a sideline — we've run miles of it across Anchorage roofs, from a single cabin eave to a 23-unit complex. That volume is why we can look at your roofline and already know where the water is going to go.
Our crew trained with the company that's led this industry for two decades — and that relationship is still live for the most complex jobs.
We standardized heat cable across a 23-unit Anchorage HOA in late fall — every power source, every system, custom controllers, fully automatic. Three weeks of ten-hour days, and the board never has to touch it.
"We had different systems in place across different buildings, and we wanted to bring everything into a matching system so that we could maintain it better moving forward."— Elena, HOA board member, Anchorage See our commercial work →
"I've tried everything. If you've got a real problem, this is the only way to go."— Homeowner, South Addition, Anchorage · ★★★★★
▶ Watch — 0:42 The guys at Alaska Heat Cable are awesome! We had an ice dam problem and they were quick and efficient at getting it gone. They also shoveled the snow off the rest of the house and garage roof, got the heat cable installed, and we're all set for next winter. Highly recommend!
Fast, friendly, and they got the job done right. This was the snowiest January on record in Anchorage and we don't have a single icicle. Money well spent — easily saved us thousands in potential maintenance and repair costs.
Alaska Heat Cable is the best! Not only did they install a first-class system for me while dealing with cold and ice, they even troubleshot my electrical outlet and found it had been wired wrong. They are a great team!
Alaska Heat Cable helped remedy my ice dams and were fast and efficient about it too. After they installed the heat trace, I've had no more ice dams or leaks. Thank you for the great work!
The team is very thorough in making sure the entire process is explained to you and that you're comfortable with every step before moving forward. The install looks — and is — professional.

Alaska Heat Cable is owner-run — Luke grew up here and learned heat cable hands-on, then built the only Anchorage business dedicated strictly to self-regulating heat cable. The crew are outdoors people who treat every roof like it has to look as good as it works.
