Why Colorado's Climate Makes Ductwork Efficiency Matter

Colorado has a cold semi-arid climate with about 36 days above 90°F per year, summer highs around 88°F, and low average humidity of 52%. In dry, extreme heat, ducts routed through attics can reach temperatures well above ambient — causing conditioned air to absorb heat before it ever reaches living spaces. Proper insulation on attic duct runs and tight sealing at all joints are the two biggest factors in keeping cooling costs under control in Colorado's summers.
