An essential roof cable for cold winters

 Avoid freezing pipes! - The importance of roof cables

Before the cold season, you should do an annual pre-season check to make sure your heating tape is plugged into a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet and that the outlet is energized. You can also install a switch in your home to turn on the heat cable as needed (if you don't already have it). Insulating your pipes is necessary, but it's not always enough when temperatures stay cold for days at a time, so installing quality insulation tape can be a lifesaver when water lines are exposed to freezing temperatures. If you've ever experienced a frozen or broken water line, you know it's a good idea to be prepared.

Types of Heating Tape
There are several different types of gutter heater cable available for water lines. Knowing the options available will help you make the best decision when winterizing your home's plumbing.

Self-adjusting heating cable: This type of heating tape can be cut to any length for customization. Quite a few brands make this relatively new heating cable, which automatically changes its heat output as the surrounding temperature changes. Often this type of heating tape can even be safely overlapped (check the manufacturer's instructions) and does not require temperature control. You can purchase self-regulating heat cables in rolls or sometimes even by the foot at some hardware stores or home improvement stores. This type of heating tape requires a connection kit with end plugs and sockets.

Non-regulating heating cable: This type of heating tape is regulated by a thermostat. It can be purchased by the foot or by the roll. The heating cable can be customized to your application as it can be cut to any desired size and then the end added to the length of the cable. This heat tape requires a connection kit with end plugs and sockets as well as a thermostat for temperature adjustment.

Hot water hoses: These are useful for those who need to use water hoses in the winter. Hot water hoses come in a variety of lengths and are made by many manufacturers. Having a hot water hose means you can have reliable running water at freezing temperatures. Heated hoses have electrical cords embedded in the hose walls. When they are inserted into the cord, they heat the hose all the way to the end. These hoses will automatically shut off in warm weather to save power and prevent overheating.

Automatic electric heating cable kits: Heating tape kits are now smarter than ever and may be available in any length you may need in a complete package that is already pre-terminated with a power indicator at the plug. Most of these units come with a built-in thermostat that can be turned on and off to save power, as it only heats up when the temperature is cold enough. Installing a new complete package of heating tape is quick and easy.

Mobile home skirting
The main reason behind the importance of mobile home skirting is that it can save you money on utilities, etc. It can protect your home from environmental factors such as flooding, provide support for the mobile home itself, and add insulation and protection from rodents, animals and pests that often use this space as a shelter. The effects of climatic factors can also lead to cracks and breaks in the flooring and elements placed underneath the mobile home. Skirting can effectively help to protect your home by reducing breaks and cracks.
