Colorado may be known for its mild climate, but it can still get hot in the summer. The recent overall increases in average summer temperatures has caused homeowners to ask, “Do I need AC in Colorado?”
Since Colorado is geographically at a higher elevation and is not located around any large bodies of water or an ocean, humidity levels stay relatively low. Even so, while air conditioning in Colorado may not seem like a necessity for some, others choose an AC installation to keep their indoor environments at the consistent comfort level they desire all year long.
There are several factors to consider when deciding whether an AC installation will be beneficial for you, such as:
- What is the total square footage of your home, specifically, what size is the area you wish to cool?
- How much of your home is exposed to direct sunlight, do you have a lot of shade trees?
- Are the indoor spaces used frequently, or are some left empty more than others?
- Does your current heating system use ductwork to deliver heated air throughout your home?
If your home does not currently have ductwork, however, don’t let that be the deciding factor for deciding whether an AC installation will work for you. Traditional central AC systems do utilize ducts to deliver cooled air. There are other AC options available like ductless mini-split AC systems that require no ductwork and can be retrofitted to work with your current HVAC system, whether it’s a furnace or boiler.
