Abstract

A gutter and roof protection system (10) comprises a gutter cover (16); a plurality of brackets (18) for supporting the gutter cover over a gutter (12) attached to a roof (14) of a building; an elongated rigid channel (20) supported by the brackets; and a heating element (22) for placement in the channel. The heating element is connected to a suitable source of electricity so as to generate heat and melt snow and ice which accumulates on or near the gutter cover. The elongated channel retains the heating element and prevents it from moving, without the use of additional fasteners. The elongated channel also positions the heating element below the gutter cover so the channel and heating element do not impede the normal flow of water over the gutter cover or collect debris.
