What winter actually asks of a system in Salisbury
Salisbury drops below freezing on about 147 nights a year, and below 10°F on about 22 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.

Salisbury systems & permits
Salisbury heats mostly on natural gas — 2,221 of 4,148 occupied homes, or 53.5% — but a large minority does not. 789 households (19.0%) burn fuel oil or kerosene, 802 (19.3%) heat with electricity, and 145 use bottled propane. The nearest NOAA long-term stations put the local heating season at roughly 6,400 to 6,700 heating degree days a year, well above Boston Logan's 5,681. Nearly a fifth of the housing stock predates 1939, so masonry chimneys built for old atmospheric appliances are common and venting is usually part of a replacement, not an afterthought.
