Nope, heat trace cables work well for spot de-icing or where you have ice dams that are problematic. Just keep in mind how they work and that the melted water will have to go somewhere. Some people expect it to be some magic melter that makes winters ills go away, forgetting the ice they melt goes on to re-freeze somewhere else or then has drainage issues anyways.
