Self-Regulating Heat Cable
We use the highest quality heat trace material on the market. Drexan MultiTrace has been our product of choice for many years. When it’s the middle of winter, temperatures are freezing, and the snow is piling up protecting our homes and businesses is a serious matter. We want nothing but the best.

Not all heat cable is created equal. As they say, “you get what you pay for.” In our many years in the business we have seen dozens of brands producing similar products. The common consumer won’t be able to tell the difference between these products. We have worked with most of these products and have found distinct differences that determine product quality.
Drexan Heat Cable is superior in several ways.
- Their heat cable is more robust and durable
- The outer jacket is thicker than most
- The interior core of the cable is more consistent in construction.
Which gives us confidence it will stand the test of time, and it already has.

The manufacturing process of Drexan Cable has differentiated their product from others out there in the extrusion process. This process is very unique to their product in such that it illuminates all the air pockets inside the cable. This has drastically increased its performance ability in cold temperatures. The Cable does not have to work as hard to get the desired outside temperature compared to other products. In turn, this helps the product to last longer and draw less power. This helps with energy cost and electrical requirements.
Drexan Cable has tighter tolerances in their construction process. We have found many other cables having various widths and thicknesses in different areas of the cable. This can increase and decrease energy draw. We have also found consistent defects in other products out there. Drexan has been the one product we have found to be most consistent over all others.

Which self-regulating heat cable is the best? We are confident to say Drexan. We feel it outperforms this full list: Raychem, Heat Trace Products, King Trace, ProLine, Delta-Therm, Nelson Heat Trace, Technitrace, Chromalox, Eltherm, Easy Heat and any other on the market.
Interesting facts:
- Raychem was the first company to create self regulating heat cable.
- Many self regulating heat cable products are from the same factories, just rebranded.
What's the difference between Heat Cable, Heat Tape, and Heat Trace?
Honestly, there is not really a difference between these. The term “heat tape” is widely used, it is basically a ‘slang’ term, but it is really just another word for heat cable. Another common term that is used more when referring to pipe freeze protection is “heat trace”, also just another name for heat cable. We install Drexan heat cable. It is flexible enough for pipe trace along with roof and gutter application; it is flat or oblong in shape to contour along pipelines for maximum results. We specialize in roof and gutter installation. There are really only two types of heating cable. Constant Wattage Cable and Self-Regulating Heat Cable. They both serve a purpose for specific applications and they both have different heat output.
