How North Dakota homes are heated
Utility gas heats just over half of North Dakota’s owner homes, and propane heats nearly one in five. In the Census Bureau’s table B25117 (ACS 5-year 2020-2024), 105,256 of 208,084 owner-occupied homes use utility gas (50.6%), 55,929 use electricity (26.9%) and 37,396 use bottled, tank or LP gas (18.0%), the third largest propane share of the 50 states.
| Heating fuel | Owner-occupied homes | Share | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Utility gas | 105,256 | 50.6% | ACS 2020-2024, B25117 |
| Electricity | 55,929 | 26.9% | ACS 2020-2024, B25117 |
| Bottled, tank or LP gas | 37,396 | 18.0% | ACS 2020-2024, B25117 |
| Fuel oil or kerosene | 4,827 | 2.3% | ACS 2020-2024, B25117 |
| Wood, coal, solar, other fuels or no fuel | 4,676 | 2.2% | ACS 2020-2024, B25117 |
Renters shift the picture toward electricity. Across all 331,063 occupied homes, table B25040 (2020-2024 ACS) puts utility gas at 41.3% and electricity at 40.0%, nearly level.
Heating fuel tells a buyer what equipment a job is likely to involve. Gas and propane homes mostly run furnaces or boilers, with propane adding an outdoor tank and LP-rated parts; electric homes use electric furnaces, baseboard heat or heat pumps. The shares describe the housing stock only, not how many requests come from each group.
North Dakota heating and cooling degree days
No state with a NOAA statewide series needed more heat in 2025. The heating degree day series puts North Dakota at 8,818, first among 48 states, even though that was below its own 1991-2020 average of 9,184.
Summer is short but present. The cooling degree day series records 475 for 2025, slightly above the 1991-2020 average of 444 and 40th of the 48. Heating degree days outnumbered cooling degree days more than 18 to 1, which makes a working heating system the first priority in a North Dakota home.
About the method: a heating degree day is each degree that a day’s mean temperature falls below 65°F, and a cooling degree day each degree above it. The 2025 number adds up January through December in the NCEI statewide series; the comparison average is the mean of that series’ annual totals for 1991-2020.
North Dakota HVAC contractor licensing
This section is general information, not legal advice. It summarizes official sources as of October 8, 2026; check the current text of each rule before relying on it.
North Dakota licenses contractors through the secretary of state under N.D.C.C. chapter 43-07 (checked October 8, 2026). Section 43-07-01 defines a contractor broadly, covering the construction, repair or alteration of buildings and every other type of structure or improvement, and section 43-07-02 bars acting as a contractor without a license when the cost, value or price per job exceeds $4,000.
Section 43-07-07 sorts licenses into four classes by the value of a single contract project:
- Class A: no limit on project value.
- Class B: projects up to $500,000 (N.D.C.C. chapter 43-07, checked October 8, 2026).
- Class C: projects up to $300,000 (N.D.C.C. chapter 43-07, checked October 8, 2026).
- Class D: projects up to $100,000 (N.D.C.C. chapter 43-07, checked October 8, 2026).
For a typical home HVAC contract, the figure to compare with the price is the $4,000 per-job line in section 43-07-02 (as of October 8, 2026). Technicians who recover or charge refrigerant also need federal EPA Section 608 certification.
North Dakota owners and renters for HVAC work
More than a third of North Dakota households rent. Table B25003 (ACS 5-year 2020-2024) counts 208,084 owner-occupied homes and 122,979 renter households among 331,063 occupied homes, a renter share of 37.1%. Owners sign for replacements; in rentals, the property owner makes that call.
Housing age, values and the state’s energy code status are on North Dakota window replacement leads, so this page does not repeat them.
North Dakota home energy rebate status
The federal Home Energy Rebate programs have not started in North Dakota. The Department of Commerce’s Home Energy Rebates Program page (checked October 8, 2026) says the department has applied for both programs, Home Efficiency Rebates (HOMES) and Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates (HEAR), and is awaiting full approval from the U.S. Department of Energy.
The same page states that neither program has launched, no rebates are currently available and there is no estimated launch date. It also warns homeowners that any offers tied to these programs in North Dakota at this time are likely scams. HVAC buyers quoting North Dakota jobs should not promise a state rebate until the page changes.
North Dakota counties by owner-occupied homes

Source: ACS 5-year 2020-2024, tables B25003 and B25117 at county level. The table covers housing and heating fuel only; it does not describe where leads come from.
| County | Owner-occupied homes | Heated by utility gas | Heated by electricity | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cass | 43,623 | 62.3% | 30.4% | ACS 2020-2024, B25003 and B25117 (county) |

| Stutsman | 5,951 | 61.3% | 15.8% | ACS 2020-2024, B25003 and B25117 (county) |
| Richland | 4,665 | 24.7% | 37.1% | ACS 2020-2024, B25003 and B25117 (county) |
| McLean | 3,684 | 45.0% | 23.9% | ACS 2020-2024, B25003 and B25117 (county) |
Propane, not shown in the columns, is where the smaller counties differ. In the county data (2020-2024 ACS), bottled, tank or LP gas heats 29.3% of owner homes in Richland County and 28.6% in McLean County, against 5.3% in Cass. Richland is also the only county of the ten where utility gas is not the leading fuel.
Reading the North Dakota numbers for HVAC coverage
Put side by side, the official numbers describe a heating-first state with three fuels that matter. Points for a buyer drawing North Dakota territory:
- Heating outweighs everything. With 8,818 heating degree days in 2025, the most of any state in the NCEI series, furnace and boiler repair and replacement are the core of North Dakota HVAC work.
- Propane needs its own crews. Propane heats 18.0% of owner homes statewide in table B25117 (2020-2024 ACS) and close to 30% in Richland and McLean counties, so buyers serving rural ZIP codes need technicians set up for LP equipment.
- Cities run on gas. Burleigh (73.5%), Morton (70.7%) and Ward (69.3%) are the most gas-heated of the ten counties in the county data (2020-2024 ACS), which fits gas furnace specialists working around Bismarck-Mandan and Minot.
These points come from the housing and climate sources on this page. They are not claims about lead counts or where requests originate.
What North Dakota HVAC buyers filter on
North Dakota 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. In North Dakota, these line up with the numbers above:
- Project type: for example install, replace or repair, for heating or cooling. Heating work leads in a state with this many heating degree days.
- Homeowner status: owners approve system replacements, and more than a third of households rent.
- Timeframe: a furnace failure in a North Dakota winter cannot wait, while an air conditioner can be planned for spring.
- ZIP code: buyers choose the ZIP codes their crews can reach, including rural areas where propane is common.
When HVAC opens, North Dakota 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. All fields appear on the sample HVAC lead.
Where buyers filter in North Dakota
Four metropolitan areas include North Dakota counties, and much of the state’s farm and ranch country lies outside all of them. In the Census Bureau’s July 1, 2025 estimates, the Fargo and Grand Forks metros include Minnesota counties across the Red River, so their populations are given for the whole metro area. Once HVAC opens, buyers will be able to set coverage on any ZIP code, inside these areas or outside them.
- Fargo, ND-MN: 269,528 (July 1, 2025 estimate, whole metro area)
- Bismarck: 139,750 (July 1, 2025 estimate)
- Minot: 75,694 (July 1, 2025 estimate)
- Grand Forks, ND-MN: 105,046 (July 1, 2025 estimate, whole metro area)

North Dakota HVAC lead questions
Did any state log more heating degree days than North Dakota in 2025?
No. North Dakota’s 8,818 heating degree days were the most of the 48 states in NOAA NCEI’s Climate at a Glance statewide series for 2025, although they came in below the state’s 1991-2020 average of 9,184.
How common is propane heat in North Dakota owner homes?
Bottled, tank or LP gas heats 18.0% of North Dakota owner-occupied homes, or 37,396 of 208,084, in the Census Bureau’s ACS 5-year estimates for 2020-2024 (table B25117). Only two states have a higher propane share.
At what job size does North Dakota HVAC work need a contractor license?
Under N.D.C.C. 43-07-02, a contractor needs a license from the secretary of state when the cost, value or price per job exceeds $4,000. Section 43-07-07 then sets classes A to D by project value. This is general information, not legal advice.
Which North Dakota county among the ten largest relies most on propane?
Richland County, where bottled, tank or LP gas heats 29.3% of owner-occupied homes in the ACS 5-year county data for 2020-2024 (table B25117). McLean County follows at 28.6%.
Can North Dakota HVAC leads be limited to the Bismarck and Minot areas?
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.
