Essex's unique heating challenges
About 150 nights a year below freezing, when aging heating systems give out
The oldest blocks in town run heating systems decades older than the newer builds toward Westford
First frost typically lands around October 16
Seasonal timing
Median first frost is around October 16, a day earlier than Milton records, and staging faults that hid through the shoulder season become obvious once the furnace runs daily.

Yes. If a multi-stage furnace is wired to a thermostat that only calls for one stage, the second stage never engages and the house falls behind in deep cold. The wiring, not the thermostat itself, is usually the fault.
Either it is stuck on a lower stage, airflow is restricted, or the unit is undersized for the load. A technician distinguishes those with a temperature-rise measurement at the unit.
Most need one. Older Essex homes wired for mercury thermostats frequently lack it, and adding it is standard work for a technician rather than something to attempt at the wall plate.
Very close. Both average around 12 degrees for January lows, with roughly 13 to 14 nights a year below zero.
