This is a great product and they will help you install it as easily as possible, but it still needs time. Works well and they send a lot of gear.

My first impression was that the heat is controlled by a sensor at the end of the cable. So I put it in an ice bucket to see if the cord got really hot. It's not after 30 minutes.

Since we installed it we have had 20-30 days and/or nights where the temperature has been below freezing and if we…
