Product Lines
Freeze Free Self-Regulating Pipe Heating Cable
EasyHeat Freeze Free is a self-regulating pipe heating cable that automatically adjusts heat output based on surrounding temperature, increasing as temperatures drop and reducing as temperatures rise. It is rated at 3 watts per foot at 50 degrees Fahrenheit, protects to negative 60 degrees Fahrenheit, and has a maximum circuit length of 75 feet. It is UL Listed and Factory Mutual certified. It is specified for pipe freeze protection in exterior walls, unheated crawl spaces, attics, and mechanical rooms.
AHB Series Pre-Assembled Pipe Heating Cable
EasyHeat AHB Series is a pre-assembled pipe heating cable kit including heating cable, integral thermostat, end-of-cable seal, and connection hardware in a single ready-to-install package. The thermostat activates at 38 degrees Fahrenheit and deactivates at 45 degrees Fahrenheit; the cable protects to negative 40 degrees Fahrenheit. It is specified for residential pipe freeze protection where a factory-assembled, plug-in-ready kit eliminates field assembly and thermostat wiring.
Roof and Gutter De-Icing Cables
EasyHeat's roof and gutter de-icing cable line provides electric heat trace for residential roof edges and gutters, melting ice dams and preventing icicle formation. The cable is installed in a zigzag pattern along the roof edge and through the gutter and downspout. This provides a heat path for ice melt drainage where ice dam formation threatens water infiltration or gutter damage.
Floor Warming Systems
EasyHeat's floor warming system line covers electric radiant floor heating mats and cables for tile, stone, and laminate floor applications in residential bathrooms, kitchens, and living spaces. Floor warming mats are designed for installation under tile and stone in a thin-set bed without modifying the existing floor structure. They are specified for residential remodeling applications where floor surface warmth is the objective.
ADKS Self-Regulating Roof De-Icing System
EasyHeat's ADKS self-regulating roof and gutter de-icing system uses self-regulating cable technology to automatically adjust heat output based on roof surface and ambient temperature. Output increases when temperatures drop and decreases when temperatures rise above the freeze point. It is specified for residential roof de-icing where automatic, energy-proportional operation is preferred over constant-wattage de-icing cable.
Why Contractors Specify EasyHeat
EasyHeat has been producing electric heat trace products since 1951 as part of the Emerson Electric portfolio. EasyHeat Freeze Free self-regulating pipe heating cable is UL Listed and Factory Mutual certified. The Freeze Free cable's self-regulating technology adjusts heat output based on ambient temperature, eliminating overheating risk when temperatures rise while maintaining pipe protection to negative 60 degrees Fahrenheit. EasyHeat AHB Series pre-assembled kits include cable, thermostat, and end fittings as a factory-assembled package, reducing installation time and field assembly for residential pipe freeze protection jobs.
