When Ice Dams Form, Your Roof & HVAC Can Pay the Price

Written By Ashly Hughes

​Ice dams form when heat escapes through your attic, melts snow on your roof, and refreezes at the edge. This backup can damage shingles, gutters, and even seep into insulation. Your HVAC system ends up working harder to maintain comfort due to lost heat. Prevent ice dams by upgrading attic insulation, sealing leaks, and ensuring proper ventilation. A healthy roof supports a healthy HVAC system.
