Heating and cooling in New Jersey
Real summers and real winters. Most homes have central AC plus a gas furnace or heat pump, and both seasons bring peak demand.
New Jersey requires HVACR contractors to hold a Master HVACR license from the State Board of Examiners of Heating, Ventilating, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Contractors. Permits follow the statewide Uniform Construction Code and are issued by each town's construction official.
Older cities like Newark, Paterson and Jersey City have many multi-family buildings with boilers, while suburban homes typically pair a gas furnace with central AC. Summers are humid and coastal storms can flood outdoor equipment.
North Jersey's older cities and inland suburbs see colder winters than the shore and South Jersey. Coastal homes deal with salt air and storm surge, as Hurricane Sandy showed in 2012, so raised outdoor units and corrosion-resistant equipment are common near the water.
Most common needs in a mixed and humid climate
