Four-season heating and cooling for Edison.

Edison has hot, humid summers and freezing winters with sleet and snow. Many larger colonials run two zones or separate basement and attic systems.

## Climate

Edison sits in IECC Climate Zone 4A right below the Zone 5A northern New Jersey line. Summers bring hot, humid 90°F+ stretches across the Raritan Valley, while winters bring freezing temperatures, sleet, and snow from November through March.

## Local homes

North Edison, Oak Tree, and Clara Barton feature spacious two-story center-hall colonials and split-levels (often running two zones or basement + attic systems), while South Edison, Metuchen, Colonia, Iselin, and Highland Park mix post-war cape cods, bi-levels, and historic frame homes.

## Utilities

Public Service Electric and Gas (PSE&G) provides both electricity and natural gas to most of Edison (with JCP&L and Elizabethtown Gas serving select portions of Edison, Metuchen, and Woodbridge). PSE&G and Elizabethtown Gas offer residential efficiency rebates for qualifying upgrades.

## Recommended systems

- [Furnace replacement](https://ethohome.com/services/furnace-replacement/): A 96%+ AFUE two-stage variable-speed gas furnace paired with high-SEER2 central AC delivers balanced comfort across Central Jersey colonials and split-levels.
- [Heat pumps](https://ethohome.com/services/heat-pumps/): Dual-fuel and cold-climate heat pumps cut winter fossil-fuel usage while qualifying for PSE&G residential clean-energy incentives.

## Questions

### Why should I replace my furnace and central AC together in PSE&G territory?

PSE&G's residential efficiency programs typically provide the strongest incentives when a qualifying high-AFUE gas furnace (with a variable-speed ECM blower) and a matched high-SEER2/EER2 air conditioner or heat pump are installed together as an AHRI-certified pair.

### My North Edison colonial has two HVAC systems—how should I plan replacement?

Many larger homes in North Edison and Oak Tree have one system in the basement for the first floor and a second horizontal system in the attic for the upstairs bedrooms. You can replace the older or failing zone first, or replace both together with coordinated smart thermostats.

### Does Etho Home pull Edison Township and Middlesex County permits?

Yes. Edison Township, Metuchen, Woodbridge, Piscataway, and South Plainfield enforce NJ Uniform Construction Code mechanical and electrical permit inspections. Our licensed NJ installation partners handle all permit filings and inspections.
