Paterson housing and HVAC

Most homes heat with gas boilers or older forced-air furnaces in the basement. Multi-family houses often have separate systems per floor, and cooling is mostly window units or ductless systems.

Paterson has hot, humid summers and cold winters with snow and ice. Flooding along the Passaic River during heavy storms can damage basement equipment.

Permits and seasonal timing in Paterson

The City of Paterson's construction office handles mechanical permits under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code. After flooding, have any submerged furnace, boiler or water heater inspected before use.

Basement flooding

Homes near the Passaic can see basement water that damages furnaces, boilers and ductwork, which then need inspection or replacement.

Older boilers and furnaces

Aging gas equipment needs regular combustion checks and attention to cracked heat exchangers and leaking boilers.

Multi-family systems

Separate systems for each floor share chimneys and gas lines that must be checked together for safe venting.
