Heating Oil Tanks and Burners in Cranford
Most occupied homes in Cranford burn gas for heat. Still, Census estimates show fuel oil in about 7 percent of them and propane in about 3 percent. For an oil-fired house, the months before heating season are a sensible time for the yearly burner cleaning and adjustment. A tank that is showing its age should be looked over for rust or weeping at the seams. Oil, gas or electric, the heating system in your house is one we service.
Roughly 71 percent of the township's houses were standing before 1960, and the median one goes back to about 1951. Any original galvanized supply pipe or cast iron drain line in a house that age deserves a look before it fails. Permits for work here go through the Township of Cranford Building Department on Springfield Avenue, the same office that handles Garwood.
