How New Jersey homes are heated
New Jersey is one of the most gas-heated states in the country. In the Census Bureau’s table B25117 for 2020-2024, 1,758,472 of 2,239,128 owner-occupied homes use utility gas as their main heating fuel: 78.5%, a share only two states exceed. Electricity (9.4%) and fuel oil (8.3%) are nearly tied for second, and propane is rare at 2.3%, the fifth-lowest share of any state.
| Heating fuel | Owner-occupied homes | Share | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Utility gas | 1,758,472 | 78.5% | ACS 2020-2024, B25117 |
| Electricity | 210,587 | 9.4% | ACS 2020-2024, B25117 |
| Fuel oil, kerosene, etc. | 185,508 | 8.3% | ACS 2020-2024, B25117 |
| Bottled, tank or LP gas | 51,675 | 2.3% | ACS 2020-2024, B25117 |
| Wood, solar, coal, other fuels and no fuel | 32,886 | 1.5% | ACS 2020-2024, B25117 |
For an HVAC buyer, a gas-heated state means most heating jobs involve a gas furnace or gas boiler, with gas piping, venting and combustion checks as part of the work. The oil homes, about one owner home in twelve, carry their own equipment: burners, tanks and the decision of whether to stay on oil, move to gas or install a heat pump. The table describes the housing; it gives no indication of how requests are spread across the fuels.
Including rented homes, table B25040 (2020-2024 ACS) puts utility gas at 73.1% and electricity at 16.2% of New Jersey’s 3,507,701 occupied homes. Electric heat is more common among renters, which lowers the gas share across all homes.
Heating and cooling degree days in New Jersey
New Jersey’s 2025 climate was close to normal for heating. The NCEI heating degree day series logged 5,161 for the year, almost exactly the 1991-2020 average of 5,168.
Cooling ran above its long-run level. The cooling degree day series shows 929 for 2025, against a 1991-2020 average of 859. Heating degree days were still more than five times the cooling figure, so a New Jersey HVAC calendar has a long heating season and a real, shorter air conditioning season in July and August.
What the numbers mean: each day contributes the number of degrees by which its mean temperature falls short of 65°F (heating) or exceeds it (cooling). The 2025 figures are January-December totals in NCEI’s statewide series, and the averages are the means of the 30 annual totals from 1991 to 2020.
New Jersey owners and renters for HVAC buyers
The Census Bureau’s table B25003 shows 2,239,128 owner-occupied and 1,268,573 renter-occupied homes in New Jersey for 2020-2024, so roughly 64% of occupied homes are owned. The owner is the one who signs for a new furnace, boiler or central air system; in rental buildings the landlord or property manager makes that choice.

New Jersey counties by owner-occupied homes
Below are the ten New Jersey counties with the most owner-occupied homes, with the share of owner homes heated by utility gas and by fuel oil, the fuel that varies most between counties here. Source: ACS 5-year 2020-2024, tables B25003 and B25117 at county level. The table covers housing only and does not indicate where leads come from.
| County | Owner-occupied homes | Heated by utility gas | Heated by fuel oil | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bergen | 232,025 | 83.9% | 3.9% | ACS 2020-2024, B25003 and B25117 (county) |
| Ocean | 196,874 | 80.9% | 4.0% | ACS 2020-2024, B25003 and B25117 (county) |
| Middlesex | 195,888 | 85.2% | 3.7% | ACS 2020-2024, B25003 and B25117 (county) |
| Monmouth | 190,173 | 87.5% | 3.9% | ACS 2020-2024, B25003 and B25117 (county) |
| Essex | 143,579 | 82.0% | 5.2% | ACS 2020-2024, B25003 and B25117 (county) |
| Morris | 143,562 | 73.2% | 17.0% | ACS 2020-2024, B25003 and B25117 (county) |
| Burlington | 134,924 | 75.3% | 7.7% | ACS 2020-2024, B25003 and B25117 (county) |
| Camden | 131,032 | 83.9% | 5.5% | ACS 2020-2024, B25003 and B25117 (county) |
| Union | 116,605 | 86.0% | 5.6% | ACS 2020-2024, B25003 and B25117 (county) |
| Somerset | 97,187 | 84.3% | 4.7% | ACS 2020-2024, B25003 and B25117 (county) |
Morris County is the clear exception, with 17.0% of owner homes on fuel oil and gas down to 73.2%, in the same county data (2020-2024 ACS). Burlington is the most electric of the ten at 13.2% and Ocean follows at 12.9%. Monmouth, at 87.5%, has the highest gas share in the table.
The statewide oil share of 8.3% in the 2020-2024 ACS is higher than every county in the table except Morris, which means much of New Jersey’s oil-heated housing sits in counties outside the ten largest by owner homes.
Reading the New Jersey numbers for an HVAC plan
The figures on this page point to three planning observations for a New Jersey buyer:
- Gas equipment covers most homes. At 78.5% of owner homes on utility gas in the 2020-2024 ACS, technicians who install and service gas furnaces and boilers can work almost anywhere in the state.
- Oil is concentrated. Morris County’s 17.0% oil share, against 3.7% to 7.7% in most of the other large counties in the county table (2020-2024 ACS), makes it the county in this list where oil burners, tanks and oil-to-gas or oil-to-heat-pump conversions are the largest part of the housing stock.
- Both seasons count. 5,161 heating and 929 cooling degree days in the 2025 NCEI series mean heating work most of the year and a cooling peak in summer, with cooling above its 1991-2020 average of 859.
None of this estimates request numbers for any county or ZIP code. It describes the housing and climate an HVAC buyer works with in New Jersey.
What New Jersey HVAC buyers filter on
New Jersey 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. For New Jersey, each ties to the data above:
- Project type: for example install, replace or repair, for heating or cooling. In a state this gas-heated, many heating jobs are gas furnace or boiler work.
- Homeowner status: the 2,239,128 owner-occupied homes, where the owner approves the system (ACS 2020-2024, B25003).
- Timeframe: whether the homeowner needs a repair now or is pricing a replacement for later.
- ZIP code: buyers choose the ZIP codes their crews reach, for example including or excluding the oil-heavy parts of Morris County.
When HVAC opens, New Jersey 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 New Jersey
New Jersey is split between two large multi-state metro areas, and HVAC companies on each side tend to stay within theirs. The five largest metro areas with New Jersey counties are below, with Census Bureau populations for July 1, 2025 and whole-metro totals where an area crosses state lines. Once HVAC opens, buyers will be able to set coverage on any ZIP code, inside these areas or outside them.

- Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington, PA-NJ-DE-MD: 6,329,118 (July 1, 2025 estimate, whole metro area)
- Trenton-Princeton: 399,289 (July 1, 2025 estimate)
- Atlantic City-Hammonton: 372,047 (July 1, 2025 estimate)

Consent records for New Jersey HVAC leads
When HVAC opens, each New Jersey 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. New Jersey has calling rules of its own in addition to the federal TCPA, summarized in the New Jersey row of the state telemarketing laws table; the state’s MVA and home improvement summary is on leads in New Jersey.
