Whole-home heating in Colorado
In Colorado, heating systems run for months at a time (IECC zone 7 at the coldest), so weaknesses in ducts and controls cost real money. A leaky duct run in an unheated attic loses the most heat when the attic is coldest, which in Colorado is most of the winter.
Common heating fuels here: natural gas, electricity. Electric baseboard and wall heaters and heat pumps are part of the mix, so breaker, element and line-voltage thermostat problems are common calls.
Front Range cold fronts can drop temperatures 40 degrees in a day, and mountain towns sit at altitude where combustion needs proper tuning. A whole-home check covers the thermostat, the heat source, ducts and returns, so the fix reaches the rooms that are actually cold.
