HVAC Contractors in Englewood: what to know
Englewood homes use a mix of heating fuels. About 70.5% of households heat with utility gas, 21.8% with electricity and 4.6% with fuel oil or kerosene. That oil share works out to roughly 520 households.
PSE&G's tariffs list the City of Englewood in both its gas and electric territories. So PSE&G is the utility for rebates on gas equipment and heat pumps alike.
Houses and towers
Englewood's housing is split. About 42% of units are single-family detached houses, while about 27% are in buildings with 20 or more units. If you live in a large building, ask management what equipment is yours before hiring anyone.
Many houses are old. About 24% of units were built in 1939 or earlier. Replacing an old boiler or furnace with one of like capacity is minor work that still needs a permit. For fuel-fired replacements, the installer may sign a chimney verification form (F-370) in place of a vent connector inspection.
Oil tanks
The state DCA bulletin on heating oil tanks says NJDEP strongly recommends removing out-of-service underground heating oil tanks. It notes that insurance and mortgage companies often drive these removals. Removal or abandonment needs a demolition permit, and underground tank work is limited to NJDEP-certified firms.
Flood areas add a rule. Englewood's floodplain code says tanks must be designed, installed and anchored to ASCE 24 and N.J.A.C. 7:13. Check your flood zone before placing a new aboveground tank.
Rebates and registration
New Jersey's Clean Energy Program sends homeowners to utility-run programs. PSE&G's HVAC instant rebates require that you own the home and use a participating contractor. Eligible low- to moderate-income customers may get an extra $300 per eligible measure. On-bill repayment of up to $25,000 is available for qualifying HVAC projects.
About 54% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, so many renters will need the owner to apply.
Englewood also keeps a local registry. Chapter 172 of the city code lists "plumbing or heating contractor" as a registration class with the Division of Code Enforcement. Check the state Master HVACR license on the license lookup as well.
Englewood permit office
Building, plumbing and electrical permits come from the City of Englewood construction office. Your contractor normally pulls the permit, but it's worth confirming.

HVAC Contractors in Englewood: common questions
What rebates can an Englewood homeowner get for a heat pump?
Englewood is in PSE&G's electric and gas territory, so its programs apply. PSE&G's HVAC instant rebates cover qualifying air-source and ground-source heat pumps and heat pump water heaters. You must be a current residential customer, own the home and use a participating contractor. The rebate is deducted on the contractor's invoice. Eligible customers can also use on-bill repayment.
Should I remove an old oil tank at my Englewood house?
The state's DCA Bulletin 95-1B says NJDEP strongly recommends removing out-of-service underground heating oil tanks, even without signs of a leak. Removing or abandoning a tank requires a demolition permit, and only NJDEP-certified firms may work on underground tanks. If your lot is in a flood hazard area, Englewood's § 222-72 sets design and anchoring rules for tanks.
Is replacing a furnace in Englewood permit work?
Yes. Replacing a furnace, low-pressure boiler or AC unit with one of like capacity is minor work. Work can begin after the contractor notifies the construction office, with the permit application due within five business days. A licensed HVACR contractor must seal the application. Englewood says construction permit applications go to its Building Department for review, payment and issuance.
