Ducts inside?
Has anyone done or seen soffit or chase retrofit inside home envelope from flex duct in the attic? In other words, move ducts indoors.
I want to get rid of my 20-year-old falling-apart money-hungry flex ducts that are in the attic. Read that it is more efficient inside. My Jim Walter home is more like a double wide mobile home about 1200 sq ft single story ranch, raised foundation crawl space, no basement, central air with air handler inside.

Valerie,
Yes, you can enclose ducts in soffits. For more information, see Keeping Ducts Indoors.
