Electric Heat and Split Utilities in Plainsboro
Electricity heats about 42 percent of Plainsboro's occupied homes, Census estimates show, and gas nearly all the rest. Electric heat is either resistance, such as baseboard, which is cheap to install and costly to run, or a heat pump. Most heat pumps draw warmth from outdoor air and reverse in summer to cool, usually on less power. Half the homes are older than about 1986, and a heat pump that old would be far past a normal lifespan. If we replace it, our crew handles the electrical hookup too.
New Jersey American Water's Raritan system provides water, except in a franchise area served by South Brunswick's municipal utility. Sewage is split too. Part drains to the Middlesex County Utilities Authority and part to a private Veolia plant in the township, while local news names the Stony Brook Regional Sewerage Authority for some areas. Your bill tells you which applies.
