Furnace Repair in New Brunswick, NJ

Yes. Under New Jersey's Uniform Construction Code, swapping a furnace or low-pressure boiler for a new one of like capacity is "minor work": the contractor notifies the local construction office, files the permit application within five business days, and the job is inspected. Repairs such as replacing a control or igniter are ordinary maintenance and need no permit. In New Brunswick, permits and inspections go through the New Brunswick Construction Department on Kirkpatrick Street.

In City of New Brunswick, natural gas comes from PSE&G, and electricity from PSE&G. If you ever smell gas, leave the house first and call PSE&G's emergency line from outside — the utility handles leaks; we handle the heating equipment once it is safe.

Half of the homes in New Brunswick were built in 1968 or earlier (U.S. Census ACS 2020–2024). Most of those houses are on their second or third furnace or boiler, but the flue, gas piping, ductwork, and radiator piping are often original — so a proper repair visit checks venting and distribution, not just the burner.
