ABSTRACT:
A gutter and roof protection system comprises a gutter cover and an attached heating element. The gutter cover is installed between a lower edge of a sloped roof and a gutter attached to the roof. The gutter cover includes at least one elongated slot. The heating element is placed within the elongated slot and then connected to a suitable source of electricity so as to melt snow and ice which accumulates on or near the gutter cover. The slot retains the heating element and prevents it from moving without the use of fasteners. The slot also positions the heating element so that it is generally flush relative to a surface of the gutter cover so the heating element doesn't impede the flow of water or collect debris.
