How Indiana homes are heated
Utility gas leads Indiana heating by a wide margin, with propane in third place. Table B25117 (ACS 5-year 2020-2024) shows 1,229,031 of the state’s 1,916,243 owner-occupied homes heating mainly with utility gas, 64.1%. Electricity heats 23.6%, and bottled, tank or LP gas heats 168,827 owner homes, 8.8%, which is the 16th highest propane share among the states.
| Heating fuel | Owner-occupied homes | Share | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Utility gas | 1,229,031 | 64.1% | ACS 2020-2024, B25117 |
| Electricity | 452,234 | 23.6% | ACS 2020-2024, B25117 |
| Bottled, tank or LP gas | 168,827 | 8.8% | ACS 2020-2024, B25117 |
| Wood | 37,043 | 1.9% | ACS 2020-2024, B25117 |
| Fuel oil, kerosene, etc. | 11,546 | 0.6% | ACS 2020-2024, B25117 |
| Coal, solar, other fuels and no fuel | 17,562 | 0.9% | ACS 2020-2024, B25117 |
With renters included, table B25040 (2020-2024 ACS) puts utility gas at 58.6% of Indiana’s 2,716,009 occupied homes and electricity at 31.2%. Rented units are more often electric than owned ones.
What the fuel mix means to a buyer is the equipment on the job. A gas home usually has a furnace on a utility line; a propane home has a furnace or boiler fed from a tank on the property; an electric home has a heat pump or resistance heat. The shares describe Indiana homes, not how requests divide among them.
Indiana heating and cooling degree days
Indiana sits near the middle of the country on both measures, which means both seasons count. NOAA’s Climate at a Glance heating series records 5,587 heating degree days for 2025, close to the 1991-2020 average of 5,628 and 23rd highest of the 48 states with a statewide series.
On the cooling side, the cooling degree day series shows 1,047 for 2025, about 15% above the 1991-2020 average of 911 and 22nd of the 48 states. A state that ranks in the middle on both lists gives a furnace a full winter and an air conditioner a full summer. In 2025 the heating total landed within 1% of its average, while cooling ran well above its own.
How NCEI gets these numbers: every day, the gap between the mean temperature and 65°F is counted as heating degree days (when colder) or cooling degree days (when warmer). Summing January through December gives the 2025 total, and averaging the annual totals for 1991-2020 in the same statewide series gives the comparison figure.
Indiana owners and renters for HVAC buyers
Replacing a furnace or air conditioner is normally an owner decision. The Census Bureau’s table B25003 counts 1,916,243 owner-occupied homes among 2,716,009 occupied Indiana homes in the 2020-2024 ACS, with 799,766 renter households. A renter may report a broken system, but the landlord typically pays for and approves the new one.
The age of Indiana’s housing stock and its energy code are covered on Indiana window replacement leads, so they are not repeated here.
Indiana counties by owner-occupied homes
The ten Indiana counties with the most owner-occupied homes appear below with the share of those homes heated by utility gas and by electricity, from ACS 5-year 2020-2024 tables B25003 and B25117. It shows housing and heating fuel only, not where leads come from.
| County | Owner-occupied homes | Heated by utility gas | Heated by electricity | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Marion | 226,441 | 68.0% | 29.8% | ACS 2020-2024, B25003 and B25117 (county) |
| Lake | 139,856 | 91.1% | 5.8% | ACS 2020-2024, B25003 and B25117 (county) |
| Allen | 107,825 | 77.8% | 16.0% | ACS 2020-2024, B25003 and B25117 (county) |
| Hamilton | 104,416 | 69.8% | 26.8% | ACS 2020-2024, B25003 and B25117 (county) |
| St. Joseph | 74,022 | 88.7% | 8.0% | ACS 2020-2024, B25003 and B25117 (county) |
| Porter | 53,352 | 91.9% | 5.8% | ACS 2020-2024, B25003 and B25117 (county) |
| Hendricks | 52,502 | 61.4% | 31.2% | ACS 2020-2024, B25003 and B25117 (county) |
| Elkhart | 51,749 | 85.7% | 7.8% | ACS 2020-2024, B25003 and B25117 (county) |
| Vanderburgh | 50,903 | 72.0% | 25.9% | ACS 2020-2024, B25003 and B25117 (county) |
| Johnson | 45,493 | 72.0% | 22.7% | ACS 2020-2024, B25003 and B25117 (county) |
Northern Indiana is the most gas-heavy part of the list: Porter (91.9%), Lake (91.1%), St. Joseph (88.7%) and Elkhart (85.7%) all exceed the statewide 64.1% in the county data (2020-2024 ACS). The Indianapolis-area counties run more electric, with Hendricks at 31.2% and Marion at 29.8%, and Hendricks also has the most propane of the ten at 5.9%.
Because 8.8% of owner homes statewide use propane and none of these ten counties passes 5.9% in the 2020-2024 ACS county data, the counties outside this table must together have a propane share above the statewide figure.
Reading the Indiana numbers for an HVAC plan
The official data on this page supports three practical readings for a buyer covering Indiana:
- Gas furnace skills cover most owner homes. At 64.1% on utility gas in the 2020-2024 ACS, and above 85% in the four northern counties of the table, furnace installation and repair fit most owner-occupied Indiana homes.
- Rural coverage means propane. The statewide propane share of 8.8% is higher than in any of the ten largest counties, so a buyer that covers counties outside the ten largest will see more tank-fed systems than one that stays in them (ACS 2020-2024 county data).
- Cooling is a full season. Indiana’s 1,047 cooling degree days in 2025 in the NCEI series, about 15% above the 1991-2020 average, mean air conditioning work matters alongside heating.
Each point describes homes and weather in Indiana. None of them measures lead numbers in any county or metro.
What Indiana HVAC buyers filter on
Indiana HVAC buyers narrow requests with the same kinds of fields that other home services buyers use. Each of the four below links back to a figure earlier on this page:
- Project type: for example install, replace or repair, for heating or cooling. With both seasons in the middle of the national range, Indiana buyers often take both.
- Homeowner status: owners approve replacements; the owner count is in the housing section.
- Timeframe: whether the homeowner needs work now or is planning a replacement.
- ZIP code: buyers set the ZIP codes their crews can reach, for example the gas-heavy northern counties, the Indianapolis area, or rural ZIP codes where propane is more common.
When HVAC opens, Indiana 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 full field list is on the sample HVAC lead.
Where buyers filter in Indiana
Indiana HVAC contractors generally cover one metro area and the towns around it. Ranked by Indiana residents, these are the six largest metro areas with Indiana counties in the Census Bureau’s July 1, 2025 estimates; Chicago, Louisville and South Bend extend into neighboring states, so their numbers are whole-metro totals. Once HVAC opens, buyers will be able to set coverage on any ZIP code, inside these areas or outside them.
- Indianapolis-Carmel-Greenwood: 2,205,695 (July 1, 2025 estimate)
- Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN: 9,434,123 (July 1, 2025 estimate, whole metro area)
- Fort Wayne: 466,258 (July 1, 2025 estimate)
- Louisville/Jefferson County, KY-IN: 1,402,509 (July 1, 2025 estimate, whole metro area)
- Evansville: 273,786 (July 1, 2025 estimate)
- South Bend-Mishawaka, IN-MI: 324,538 (July 1, 2025 estimate, whole metro area)
