What winter actually asks of a system in North Andover
North Andover drops below freezing on about 123 nights a year, and below 10°F on about 14 of them. Those coldest nights — not the average winter day — are what a furnace, boiler or heat pump has to be sized for. A system that keeps up in November and struggles in January is usually a sizing problem, not a broken one.

Just under 58% of North Andover households heat with utility gas, about 15% still burn fuel oil and roughly 5% use propane. The gas franchise is held by Eversource Gas Company of Massachusetts, the successor to Columbia Gas of Massachusetts. After the 13 September 2018 over-pressurization that damaged 131 structures across Lawrence, Andover and North Andover, the affected low-pressure cast iron system was replaced with high-pressure plastic mains and individual pressure regulation and excess-flow valves at each premise — so parts of town are served by distribution infrastructure less than a decade old while the housing on top of it is far older.

The natural gas franchise for North Andover is currently held by Eversource Gas Company of Massachusetts, tracing back to Lawrence Gas (1877). Neighbouring North Reading and Peabody are Boston Gas Company (National Grid) territory.
The pre-2018 Merrimack Valley low-pressure gas system was cast iron installed in the early 1900s, partially upgraded with steel and plastic since the 1950s, and relied on 14 regulator stations reducing about 75 psig down to roughly 12 inches of water column (about 0.5 psig) for delivery to customers.
Following the incident, the affected distribution system was replaced and the existing low-pressure system upgraded to a high-pressure system; because much of the old system was cast iron, it was replaced with high-density polyethylene, with pressure regulation and excess flow valves installed at each premise. Columbia Gas announced replacement of 48 miles of pipeline in Andover, North Andover and Lawrence.
Utility gas heats 59.3% of occupied homes in North Andover (6,830 of 11,521 households, ACS 2019-2023 5-year).
