Abstract
A heating arrangement for a gutter protector, where the gutter protector extends over at least a portion of a rain gutter. The heating arrangement includes an elongated protective cap extending along at least a portion of the gutter protector and an elongated heating element extending within the protective cap. The protective cap is formed to be attached to the gutter protector, either on top of the gutter protector or underneath the gutter protector, in either instance within a channel formed in the elongated protective cap. Depending on heating requirements, two or more of the elongated heating elements, spaced from one another, can be employed, and a further elongated heating element can be installed within the rain gutter.
