Installed covered eavestrough in my backyard and started forming huge icicles during winter time Company says it is a heat ventilation issue and they are not bother to look in to problems. \i have called the insulation guy and he suggested no problem o heating issue though my attic.
As they signed though contract that icicles will form due to heating issue, they will not take care. I had old evaesthough in front my house had no problem of forming icicles. I believe that their product may have an issue otherwise it should form icicle in front my house also. Please be careful before signing the contact and installation work.

Sorry to hear you're having issues with icicles. We take every measure to ensure our customers understand that if the heat escaping through the roof melts the snow, ice will form on the gutters (whether LeafGuard or otherwise). Once the melted snow reaches the gutter, it will freeze as there is no heat source on the gutter. We are happy to work with any of our customers to solve this issue. I highly recommend you consult another insulation company other than the one you have contacted. Any professional insulation company understands that icicles are indicative of heat loss. Also, a quick google search of "Why do I have icicles on my home" will retrieve thousands of results that disagree with your insulation guy and provide you with several reputable companies to come out and inspect your situation. Please feel free to make yourself known to us and we will be happy to assist.
