Vernon Township covers a great deal of ground along the state's northern border, running from the Route 94 valley up to the slopes at Mountain Creek and out along Route 515 to the lake communities. The housing is a wide mix — old farmhouses, vacation homes that became year-round residences, condominium and townhouse clusters near the resorts, and newer houses on acreage. Elevation, snow and private wells make it one of the more demanding parts of the county to keep heated and supplied with clean water.

What We See in Vernon Homes & Buildings
- Former vacation houses and condominium units often have plumbing that was never intended to carry a household through a full winter.
- The higher elevations see long, hard cold spells, which is when freeze protection, heat pump backup heat and boiler reliability really get tested.
- Condominium and townhouse units near the resorts keep their equipment in closets and utility rooms with strict clearance and venting limits.

Vernon Plumbing & HVAC FAQs
Our condo near the mountain sits empty for weeks in winter. What should we do about the plumbing?
Leave the heat set rather than shutting it off, and know where the main shutoff is. We can also check whether any supply runs sit in an exterior wall or an unheated space, because that is where a vacant unit gets into trouble.
Our well water smells like sulfur. Can that be treated?
Usually. A rotten-egg smell normally points to hydrogen sulfide or sulfur bacteria, and the treatment differs depending on which a test shows. We do not guess at it, because the wrong equipment will not touch the problem.
Can you service a house up on the mountain in the middle of winter?
Yes, that is ordinary work for us here. We book service within 24 hours of scheduling and our trucks come up from Fair Lawn and Hillsdale, so tell us about a steep or unplowed driveway when you call and we will plan around it.
