Spec FAQ
Camillus questions, answered
| You ask | Short answer |
|---|---|
| F1 Is my Camillus address in the village or the town? | Check your tax bill or ask the town clerk. It matters, because the houses, the heat and possibly the permit office differ between the two. |
| F2 Who issues the heating permit in Camillus? | The Town of Camillus code requires permits for work under the state codes. Whether the village has its own office is not published, so ask both and ask your contractor in writing. |
| F3 Are Camillus homes mostly gas? | Yes. Gas heats most occupied homes in both the village and the town, and electricity comes second. Ask for a heat pump to be priced beside the gas option. |
| F4 What should I send first? | Send your address, your current system and the year the house was built if you know it. We tell you what to ask, then introduce a local contractor. |

Local facts
Here in Camillus
At a glance
- House age
- Within the village, 32.2 percent of 771 housing units predate 1940, and its typical home dates to 1958.
The village is much older than the town around it, so the age of the house depends on whether the address is in the village or the town.
There are two Camillus housing stocks, and they do not match. In the Village of Camillus the typical house dates to 1958. Almost a third of its 771 housing units date from before 1940. Out in the town the typical year is 1966, with just 6.1 percent of units that old.
Ask what your basement holds. In the town the typical year is later. Say which one you are in when you write, because a contractor who assumes the wrong one starts from the wrong list of questions.

Gas leads in both. Census estimates give 68.3 percent of occupied village homes on utility gas and 28.7 percent on electricity. In the town it is 77.9 percent gas and 16.7 percent electricity, with 3.1 percent on oil, kerosene or bottled gas. If you are in that last group, ask what the proposal does about the old tank and fuel line.
Want the worksheet for your house?
In the town, about 79.4 percent of occupied homes are owner occupied. In the village the figure is 48.5 percent. That gap means many village homes are rented, and the person who signs may not be the person who lives with the system.
Which office reads your permit, and the three questions
The Town of Camillus code, revised April 14, 2026, requires a building permit for work covered by the Uniform Code or Energy Code. It exempts replacing equipment when its listing and original specifications do not change. It also says an exemption is not permission to break either code.
Nothing published says whether the Village of Camillus runs its own permit office. So do not guess. Ask the village and the town which office handles heating work at your address, and ask your contractor to name the office and who files.
Ready to compare quotes?
Then put three questions to every bidder. Will you do a load calculation and give me the worksheet? A house from 1966 may have changed since its furnace was picked. What happens to my chimney? A condensing furnace leaves a gas water heater alone in a flue built for two. What can my ducts or pipes carry? New equipment cannot move more than the trunk lets through.
