How Idaho homes are heated
No single fuel dominates Idaho’s owner homes. The Census Bureau’s table B25117 (ACS 5-year 2020-2024) shows 296,381 of Idaho’s 514,361 owner-occupied homes on utility gas (57.6%) and 139,226 on electricity (27.1%). Wood heats 33,333 owner homes, slightly more than the 31,802 that use bottled, tank or LP gas.
| Heating fuel | Owner-occupied homes | Share | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Utility gas | 296,381 | 57.6% | ACS 2020-2024, B25117 |
| Electricity | 139,226 | 27.1% | ACS 2020-2024, B25117 |
| Wood | 33,333 | 6.5% | ACS 2020-2024, B25117 |
| Bottled, tank or LP gas | 31,802 | 6.2% | ACS 2020-2024, B25117 |
| Fuel oil, kerosene, etc. | 7,087 | 1.4% | ACS 2020-2024, B25117 |
| Other fuel, solar, coal and no fuel used | 6,532 | 1.3% | ACS 2020-2024, B25117 |
With renters counted, electricity climbs. Table B25040 (2020-2024 ACS) puts electric heat at 35.2% and utility gas at 51.6% of Idaho’s 713,005 occupied homes, so rental housing in the state leans further toward electric heat than owner housing does.
Why an HVAC buyer looks at this: the fuel tells it what a replacement job usually involves. Gas homes point to furnaces and gas venting, electric homes to heat pumps or electric furnaces, and wood or propane homes to stoves, propane furnaces and storage tanks. The table describes the housing stock only; it is not a breakdown of where requests come from.
Heating and cooling degree days in Idaho
Each degree day records how far a day’s average temperature falls below or rises above 65°F, and the annual sum is a standard gauge of heating and cooling load. NOAA’s Idaho heating degree day series totals 6,238 for 2025, roughly 9% below the 1991-2020 average of 6,870, and still 13th highest of the 48 states with a statewide series.
Cooling is modest but was above normal: the cooling series gives 624 for 2025 against an average of 489. Heating degree days outnumbered cooling degree days ten to one in 2025, which puts furnace and heat pump heating performance at the front of most Idaho system choices.
Method note: 2025 is the sum of January through December in NCEI’s statewide series (65°F base), and the average is the mean of that series’ annual totals for the thirty years 1991-2020.
Idaho owners and renters in HVAC terms
In the 2020-2024 ACS, table B25003 counts 514,361 owner-occupied homes and 198,644 renter households, out of 713,005 occupied homes in Idaho. The owner group decides on furnace, heat pump and air conditioner replacements. Renters can request a repair, but the choice of a new system usually rests with the landlord.
Idaho’s housing age and its residential energy code are on Idaho window replacement leads, and contractor registration is on the state’s combined page linked below.

| County | Owner-occupied homes | Heated by utility gas | Heated by electricity | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ada | 143,399 | 79.4% | 16.9% | ACS 2020-2024, B25003 and B25117 (county) |

| Bingham | 12,987 | 47.8% | 33.7% | ACS 2020-2024, B25003 and B25117 (county) |
| Nez Perce | 12,164 | 59.7% | 28.7% | ACS 2020-2024, B25003 and B25117 (county) |
| Latah | 9,549 | 37.9% | 34.5% | ACS 2020-2024, B25003 and B25117 (county) |
The range is wide. Ada County, around Boise, has 79.4% of owner homes on gas, while Bonner County in the north has only 23.2% on gas, 29.4% on electricity and 13.9% on propane in the same county data (2020-2024 ACS), leaving about a third of its owner homes on fuels other than gas, electricity, propane and oil. Latah and Bingham also sit below 50% gas.
Reading the Idaho numbers for HVAC coverage
Idaho’s figures, taken together, give a buyer three things to weigh when drawing its service area:
- Heating sets the agenda. With 6,238 heating degree days against 624 cooling degree days in 2025 in the NCEI series, heating equipment accounts for most of the statewide load.
- Gas and electric crews both fit. The 2020-2024 ACS shows 57.6% of owner homes on gas and 27.1% on electricity, so buyers with heat pump installers and buyers with furnace crews each have a large housing base.
- The Treasure Valley and the north differ. Ada County’s 79.4% gas share and Bonner County’s 23.2% in the county data (2020-2024 ACS) mean that the equipment a crew meets changes from one end of the state to the other.
Each point is drawn from official housing and climate data and makes no statement about lead counts or demand.
What Idaho HVAC buyers filter on
Idaho HVAC buyers filterFilterA rule that decides which leads a buyer is offered, based on fields such as vertical, sub-type, state, ZIP code, homeownership or accident details. Glossary on the same kinds of fields as other home services buyers. These are the ones tied to Idaho’s facts:
- Project type: for example install, replace or repair, for heating or cooling. Heating replacements, gas or electric, describe the larger part of Idaho’s equipment.
- Homeowner status: owners approve system replacements; see the owner count above.
- Timeframe: whether the homeowner needs heat restored now or is planning ahead of winter.
- ZIP code: buyers choose ZIP codes their technicians can reach, from the Treasure Valley to the panhandle.
When HVAC opens, Idaho buyers will set these filters per campaign, down to the ZIP code, as on Summit’s other home services leads. Once HVAC opens, HVAC leads will be exclusive by default, with shared delivery on request. The sample HVAC lead shows each field.
Where buyers filter in Idaho
Boise City is by far the largest Idaho metro area, more than four times the size of the next one; the other four are regional centers spread across the state. Populations are the Census Bureau’s July 1, 2025 estimates. Once HVAC opens, buyers will be able to set coverage on any ZIP code, inside these areas or outside them.
- Boise City: 864,243 (July 1, 2025 estimate)
- Coeur d’Alene: 191,864 (July 1, 2025 estimate)
- Idaho Falls: 173,851 (July 1, 2025 estimate)
- Twin Falls: 123,901 (July 1, 2025 estimate)
- Pocatello: 91,591 (July 1, 2025 estimate)

Consent records for Idaho HVAC leads
When HVAC opens, each Idaho HVAC lead will carry the TCPATCPAThe Telephone Consumer Protection Act, the federal law that governs telemarketing calls and texts, autodialers, prerecorded voice messages and the Do Not Call Registry. Glossary consent record captured on the form. Idaho’s telephone solicitation rules appear in the Idaho row of the state telemarketing laws table, and the contractor registration and injury claim facts for the state are on leads in Idaho.
Idaho HVAC lead questions
Do more Idaho owner homes heat with wood or with propane?
Wood, narrowly: 33,333 owner-occupied homes (6.5%) against 31,802 on bottled, tank or LP gas (6.2%), in the Census Bureau’s ACS 5-year estimates for 2020-2024 (table B25117).
How did Idaho’s 2025 heating degree days compare with normal?
They were lower: 6,238 in 2025 against a 1991-2020 average of 6,870 in NOAA NCEI’s Climate at a Glance statewide series, while cooling degree days rose to 624 against an average of 489.
Which Idaho county has the lowest share of gas-heated owner homes?
Among the ten counties with the most owner-occupied homes, Bonner County, at 23.2% on utility gas, in the ACS 5-year county data for 2020-2024 (table B25117). Electricity heats 29.4% of its owner homes.
What share of all Idaho households heat with electricity?
35.2% of 713,005 occupied homes, owners and renters together, in the ACS 5-year estimates for 2020-2024 (table B25040). Among owner-occupied homes alone the electric share is 27.1%.
Are Idaho HVAC leads filterable down to individual ZIP codes?
Not yet: HVAC is now onboarding. When it opens, buyers will set filters down to the ZIP code, as on Summit’s other home services leads, and leads will be exclusive by default.
