Dracut borders Lowell to the north, and its housing runs from older farmhouses and mill-era cottages to post-war subdivisions and newer streets off Broadway Road and Lakeview Avenue. Fuel varies by street rather than by town, with natural gas in some areas and oil or propane in others.
That matters on a no-heat call, because the first question is what the equipment burns. A propane furnace with a tank that ran low looks like an ignition fault until the tank is checked, and an oil furnace that will not light is a nozzle and filter question rather than a gas-valve one.
