Most heat tape just runs. All winter. Every winter. Day and night, whether your roof needs it or not — burning $200–$400 in electricity and shortening the tape's life with every cycle. HeatBots is the smart controller that turns it on only when ice and snow demand it.
If your roof has heat cable, it was probably installed without a smart controller — meaning it draws power any time the thermostat says "cold," even when there's no ice forming and no melt needed.
A typical 200-foot heat cable run at 5 watts per foot draws ~$2/day at Utah rates. Over a 5-month winter that's $300+ in pure waste.
Constant cycling kills heat cable in 3–5 years. HeatBots can double that by running it only when needed.
Dumb heat tape on a 24/7 thermostat doesn't always melt at the right times. Result: ice dams form, gutters tear off, ceilings stain.
Some Utah carriers are now declining homes with repeated ice-dam claims — or dropping them entirely. Smart cycling keeps you off the claims trail.
The cheapest claim is the one you never have to file.
No tear-down, no roof work, no rewiring your house. We add HeatBots inline with your existing heat tape circuit.
Send us a photo of your heat-tape setup and we'll send back a recommendation, mockup, and written price within one business day.
A licensed electrician adds HeatBots inline with your existing heat-tape circuit. Most installs are under an hour. Your tape stays — just gets smart.
HeatBots powers the tape only when conditions demand it. You watch the savings on your phone — and stop watching the gutters.
Three built-in features that do real work — included with every install.
Combines roof-edge temperature, ambient conditions, and moisture detection. Powers the tape only when ice would actually form — typically just a few hours per day, not 24.
How Auto-Melt works →See live power draw, override from your phone, get push alerts if internet drops or the heat tape itself loses power. From your couch or a ski lift.
App features →Power's out at the cable modem? HeatBots keeps running on its own intranet — your roof doesn't care about your ISP.
Reliability →A few HeatBots controllers keeping Utah roofs clear and bills low.
From Cache Valley to Park City — homes that used to fight ice dams every winter now don't think about them.
"Our heat-tape bill last December was $42. The winter before was $189 on the same tape. I thought the meter was broken."
"We had ice dams two winters in a row. Insurance was about to drop us. After HeatBots — clean gutters, no leaks, no claims."
"What I didn't expect: the alerts. My heat tape tripped its own breaker at 2am during a storm. HeatBots pinged my phone before I'd have noticed by morning."
We're confident HeatBots cuts your heat-tape energy by 40% in your first full winter. If a year's utility data shows we didn't, we refund the install cost. (We've never had to.)

Almost always. HeatBots is an inline controller — it sits between your wall outlet/circuit and your existing heat cable. We confirm compatibility during the free consultation.
No. The install is at the heat-tape circuit, not on the roof. Your existing tape stays where it is.
HeatBots keeps running on its own local intranet — it doesn't depend on the cloud to decide when to power your heat tape. You'd just lose the phone app until internet comes back.
No. You own the controller and the app. No subscription, no cloud lock-in.
HeatBots watches roof-edge temperature, ambient conditions, and moisture. When ice could actually form, it powers the tape. The rest of winter, it's off.
Pre-winter (Sep–Nov) is busiest — book a few weeks ahead. Mid-winter installs are still possible; we typically schedule within 1–2 weeks.
