We cover Caldwell and the towns around it: Nampa, Middleton and Parma. If you are not sure whether your address is covered, call and ask.

How each town heats

The figures are American Community Survey five-year estimates for 2020 to 2024, counting occupied homes by their main heating fuel.

TownOccupied homesUtility gasElectricity
Caldwell21,57369.1%27.6%
Nampa39,13468.6%29.2%
Parma72448.8%47.2%

Middleton runs the highest share on utility gas of the four, at 77.5%. Parma is split almost evenly between gas and electricity, so a no-heat call there is as likely to be an electric furnace as a gas one. The figures say how homes are heated, not what any particular house has; the label on your furnace settles that.

Which office permits the work

Who issues the mechanical permit for your house, labeled A branching diagram. It starts with the question of where the house sits. If the address is inside Caldwell city limits, the mechanical permit and the inspection come from the City of Caldwell Building Safety Division at 205 South 6th Avenue, and an inspection requested before seven in the morning is scheduled the same working day. If the address is in unincorporated Canyon County, the permit and the inspection come instead from the State of Idaho Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses, which took over that work on the first of September 2023. A note at the foot records the one exception: a built-in wood or pellet stove still permits through Canyon County itself. Where is the house? Inside Caldwell city limits Unincorporated Canyon County City of Caldwell Building Safety Division 205 South 6th Avenue Issues the mechanical permit and sends its own inspector. Requested by 7:00 am, scheduled that day. State of Idaho Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses Took this over on 1 September 2023. The permit is bought from the state and a state inspector signs it off. One exception, either side of the line A built-in wood or pellet stove still permits through Canyon County itself.

Who issues the mechanical permit for your house. This genuinely differs by address. Inside Caldwell city limits the city’s own Building Safety Division issues the mechanical permit and sends its own inspector, and a request made before 7:00 am is scheduled that same working day. In unincorporated Canyon County the State of Idaho took that work over on 1 September 2023, so the permit is bought from the state and a state inspector signs it off. Built-in wood and pellet stoves are the one exception and still go through the county.

In unincorporated Canyon County, the State of Idaho took mechanical, electrical and plumbing permitting over on 1 September 2023, with built-in wood and pellet stoves as the one exception, which still go through the county.

Most repairs do not need a permit. It matters when work goes beyond replacing a part, and the permits guide sets out the state fees in full.
