Heating and cooling in Georgetown homes
Georgetown has the newest housing of any town we serve, with a median year built of 2001. It's also the most electric: about 70% of homes heat with electricity, such as a heat pump or electric furnace, and about 30% use natural gas. For most Georgetown homeowners, the things that matter most are a correctly set up thermostat, aux heat that only runs when it should, and a heating tune-up before the first cold snap.
