What is the life span of the cables
1462339
I read the reviews before I bought the cables and was sure that it would do a good job for me for at least 2-3 years, perhaps more. Many of the reviews were from folks living further north than me and suffering larger snowfalls that I would ever hope to have, so I purchased my with haste and have been quite pleased with them. I'm going into my third year and can tell they are working, even when we only have a heavy frost on the roof.

Zero life span. Unit died 1 month after installing. Company would not repair it. Highly recommend not buying this item

I just replaced a set that was more than 10 years old. The unit melted through serious ice and snow for that time on a problematic area of our guest house roof. Remember, your roof must by snow free for proper installation. Also, if it is too cold the shingles can crack when you install since you have to pry them up a bit to get fastener clips under them. If you install on your primary residence and are home all winter you can skip the controller and just plug the cables in manually when needed to cut channels in ice dams. They do use some juice so remember to unplug when not needed, after you have allowed snow melt runoff to exit roof. I just replaced a set that was more than 10 years old.

I didn't receive any warranty information in the packaging. However, there is a security label on the cable, which they state not to remove otherwise you will not be able to return or get a refund.

Depends if you purchased New or Old or Refurbished or so.They do last 3-5 years depending on how well they are looked after.

The cable is wrapped in a stainless steel braid and I have had it in the ground for 3 years and it still works. I would imagine that it should be in the 10 year plus category.

Mine have lasted for over 2 years and still work. After they get older than that they do not last as long and get hard in the package. I always have some left year to year because I cannot always find them when I need them.

I don't have a quality issue with mine and I see no reason why you would have any problem with these cables.

I'm happy with these cables. They replaced home cables over 10years ago. I'm reluctant to bend to 90 degrees as to the nature of the strands inside. If you can run a longer cable to route

I think it's the standard (90) day or possibly one-year. My first one failed rather quickly after the purchase so when I returned (shipped back to manufacturer) there wasn't any dispute. The replacement one is still working for the most part but still the quality isn't spectacular.

From my experience, the life expectancy is about 2 years. The only reason I keep buying these batteries is because I have several pieces of equipment that uses this battery and I don't want to just throw them away. I have about 4 of these batteries and i keep one in the charger most of the time. I have thrown away about 3 of them in the last 5 years. The battery will do well for about a year and then it will lose it's charge sitting on the shelf. I'm guessing these batteries that we are buying are several years old when we receive them. Sorry to tell you this.

C. Carpenter, That is a good question, my personal assumption is that it will probably outlast me. This is a very rugged cable and being shielded with braded cable and where it is self regulating with no make or break thermostat it will last for many years, say like fifty or more. Jon M.

Mine lasted 5 years, until the squirrels chewed the cable. I guess it could have been repaired. Love my coolaroo!

I have never read anywhere how long they last. I am sure if you take care of them they will last a long time.
