Dewaltcarp: The reason you don't get ice dams is becasue it's too cold for them to form there. Check any sophisticated ice melt controller and it will have a low-temperature cutoff, usually at about 15*, where the melt systems are turned off. If it were only a ventilation thing it would be easily solved. I have continuous eave and ridge flow-through ventilation over R-40 insulation, and I have ice dam formations.
When customers ask us if we know an installer in Concord, Massachusetts we will be thinking of this video. Very knowledgeable. We will be adding the new WarmlyYours R&G products to our website soon and stocking it as well.
Thanks JK
