Why Mississippi's Climate Is Hard on Ductwork
Mississippi has a humid subtropical climate with average humidity around 72% and about 83 days above 90°F each year. That combination — sustained heat and high moisture — is rough on ductwork. Flex duct in attics and crawl spaces degrades faster in extreme heat, and high humidity encourages mold growth in ducts with poor insulation or air leaks. Duct sealing and proper insulation matter more here than in drier climates, both for efficiency and air quality.How Much Does Ductwork Replacement Cost in Jackson?
