Why Nevada's Climate Makes Ductwork Efficiency Matter
Nevada has a hot desert climate with about 135 days above 90°F per year, summer highs around 104°F, and low average humidity of 30%. 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 Nevada's summers.How Much Does Ductwork Replacement Cost in Las Vegas?
