Floe: Smart Ice & Snow Management

Conventional ice and snow mitigation solutions are often expensive. Electric melting systems, for instance, have substantial installation costs due to the need for specialized electricians and technicians. Their operating costs can reach thousands of dollars per month due to their substantial electrical consumption, and these costs are unlikely to decrease with rising energy prices. Additionally, the significant carbon footprint of these systems is leading many counties to impose fees on their operation, further increasing expenses. These high-power systems are also prone to burnout after only a few years, leading to frequent and costly repairs or replacements. Manual removal services can be similarly prohibitively expensive, particularly after heavy snowfalls when demand is highest, with costs reaching tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars. As a result, many avoid using these preventive solutions altogether, risking substantial liabilities, such as roof damage, major leaks, roof collapse, and serious injury.

Floe delivers reliable asset protection, cost-effectively. Its installation is simpler and safer, reducing costs compared to electric melting systems. With its robust, weather-tested design and its simple repairs, it is engineered to remain on your roof for 10+ years, enhancing its lifetime value. Given its minimal energy footprint and ability to activate only when necessary through real-time data and advanced algorithms, Floe reduces operating costs by over 40% compared to traditional solutions. Considering the high costs from damage from inadequate protection, Floe quickly pays for itself by preventing damage from even a single storm.

Traditional methods for managing ice and snow are often highly energy-intensive and inefficient. Electric melting systems consume vast amounts of electricity to generate heat during the coldest months, while manual removal services frequently rely on gasoline-powered steaming machines to melt ice and snow. Both approaches lead to significant waste and environmental harm.

At Floe, our mission is to protect both your property and the planet. Floe is designed to safeguard your roof from ice and snow damage while minimizing its environmental impact. The Floe Deicer is among the most eco-friendly and effective options available; it is non-corrosive, biodegradable, and pet & plant safe. Floe also offers a far more sustainable alternative to traditional solutions, using less than 1% of the energy and generating a minimal carbon footprint, resulting in both cost savings and a safer solution for the environment. Additionally, by extending the lifespan of roofs and reducing the need for premature repairs and replacements, Floe helps prevent petroleum-based building materials from ending up in landfills, contributing to a more sustainable future.
