Gas Heat, Ductwork and Sewer Checks in Watchung
Only about one Watchung house in six predates 1960, and the median dates to around 1974, by Census estimates. With gas heat in roughly 86 percent of occupied homes, a common setup is a gas furnace that shares its ductwork with central air. In that setup the furnace blower moves the cooled air too, so a failed blower motor or control board can knock out heat and cooling alike.
Water comes in from New Jersey American Water, and wastewater leaves through Plainfield Area Regional Sewerage Authority interceptors to the Middlesex County Utilities Authority, which treats it. Whether a given lot is on that sewer or a septic tank should be confirmed at the address before drain work. The borough construction office, 15 Mountain Boulevard, issues permits. We are based about 2 miles away in Scotch Plains, and a person, not a recording, answers our phone at any hour.
