Local conditions that affect your system
Hail damage
Hailstorms can flatten condenser coils. If cooling drops after a storm, have the coil inspected; it may be an insurance claim.
Altitude
At higher elevation than Denver, furnace derating and AC capacity matter even more in sizing.
Wind and cold
Strong winter winds and sudden cold fronts test furnaces and can block high-efficiency vent pipes with drifted snow.
Seasons and peak demand in Colorado Springs
Heating season in Colorado Springs runs from roughly October to May, and spring snowstorms are common. Summers are warm rather than hot, with afternoon thunderstorms and hail. Because AC runs fewer hours here than in Denver, many homeowners weigh a heat pump as a way to add cooling while trimming gas use in spring and fall.
