Gas Heat Dominates in Mountainside
About nine of every ten occupied homes in Mountainside heat with gas, by Census estimates. Oil accounts for about 4 percent, electricity about 3 percent, and propane essentially none. So a heating problem here is usually a gas equipment problem. A furnace that short cycles, a boiler burner that lights and then drops out, or a flame that burns yellow instead of blue is worth a service call.
By Census estimates, the borough's median home went up in 1957, and about 12 percent were built in 1980 or after. For gas use, the furnace or boiler's age matters more than the house's: a unit 20 or more years old can burn noticeably more gas than a current high efficiency model. Borough Hall, at 1385 US Highway 22 East, houses the Construction Department that issues permits. Vanguard holds New Jersey plumbing and HVAC licenses and carries insurance.
