The present invention includes a cover for use with a heat element and gutter debris preclusion devices. The cover includes a body, a front member, and a middle portion disposed between the body and the front member. The body includes a lip being operably configured to extend beyond an outer edge of the gutter when the cover is in use. The cover also includes a channel defined by the middle portion and at least the front member, wherein the channel is operably configured to receive the heat element. The cover is operably configured to hold the heat element to the gutter debris preclusion device. When the heat element is energized it will generate heat. The cover will enable the generated heat to transfer to the gutter debris preclusion device and to a gutter to which it is attached.
