Equipment with steam temps of at least 270 degrees and a PSI of 200 or less is in our opinion ideal for the safest, most efficient, and damage-free roof ice dam removal. Choosing a company that is transparent about its equipment. Equating to $.70 – $1.40 electricity cost.Ĭhoosing gentle electric steam over gas-powered (power washer) equipment is a no-brainer in our opinion. We guarantee damage-free ice dam removal Ice Dam Prevention Starts with Insulation. Not bad considering the average ice dam removal project is anywhere from 2-4 hours. Once the ice dams are removed, we can address the root causes and develop a plan to solve your ice dam problem. Electric steam equipment costs at most about 35 cents per hour of your electricity.It turns water into mostly hot water (uses water energy) equating to nearly 150-240 excess gallons per hour of water on the outside walls and foundation of your home. With excessive pressure enough to cut a shingle in half. Average gas equipment water consumption at 2.5-4 GPM.Electric commercial equipment at 1-1.5 gallons per minute (GPM) turns water into superheated steam (almost no excessive water other than melting ice).Its sole purpose is to cut ice safely & efficiently. Electric commercial equipment operates at a significantly lower pressure, lower water usage, and can operate at a higher steam temp compared to most all gas equipment.How can you tell the difference in equipment being used on your roof? If the gun has a trigger it is a power washer. Commercial steam electric equipment operates at a significantly lower pressure with much higher heat energy, has lower water usage, and can operate at a more constant steam temp compared to all gas equipment. Electrically driven equipment in our opinion (yes, we have used both types of equipment) is far superior to gas-driven equipment. It is electrically driven (using your home’s power) to create steam. Unlike hot power washers, it uses heat energy, not water energy. Our commercial steam roof ice dam removal equipment removes ice from roofs safely and efficiently.
