Aging Equipment in Monroe's Newer Houses
Housing in Monroe is young: nearly three in four homes are from 1980 or later, only about 6 percent predate 1960, and Census estimates place the median around 1995. That moves the usual worries away from corroded pipe and toward equipment. An original tank water heater, furnace or AC condenser may be near the end of its service life, or past it. Electricity heats close to a third of occupied homes, about 31 percent, whether by heat pump, baseboard or electric furnace.
Monroe's water supplier can vary by address. The township owns the Monroe Township Utility Department, but some addresses may be New Jersey American Water customers, so check the name on the bill. Sewage is MCUA's to treat, and permits come from the township Construction Office. On Vanguard's heat pump and AC installs, its own people do the electrical work, so no outside electrician is called in.
