Common issues in Colorado Springs

  • Furnace combustion derating — at 6,035 feet, gas furnaces lose efficiency unless adjusted for altitude (typically 4% per 1,000 feet above sea level).
  • AC capacity loss — air conditioners lose about 3% of cooling capacity per 1,000 feet of elevation gain, so a unit sized for sea level may underperform here.
  • Winter humidity below 20% — whole-home humidifiers are nearly always recommended for comfort and to protect wood floors and furniture.
  • Dust and wildfire smoke — high-MERV filtration and seasonal indoor air quality service matter more here than at sea level.
  • Hard freeze cycles — outdoor hose bibs and exposed pipes need freeze-protection if not already insulated.

What Smith prioritizes for Plumbing in Colorado Springs
