Waltham's unique heating challenges
About 118 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 Belmont
First frost typically lands around October 30
Seasonal timing
Waltham's median first frost lands around October 30, the same date it lands in Belmont just to the east. A converted oil-to-gas system that struggled with condensate drainage last winter tends to run into the same problem again once that date passes.

A technician has to size new equipment for the house, run a gas line, and often deal with venting that was built around the old oil setup. Homes with an aging oil tank in the basement are the ones most likely to be looking at this.
Yes, especially when the building's original single heating loop was never rezoned as units changed hands. It's usually a balancing problem a technician can diagnose room by room rather than a sign the whole system is failing.
The line runs outside or through an unheated space in a lot of older Waltham basements, and once temperatures drop hard enough, condensation inside it can freeze and back the system up. Insulating or rerouting that line is typically how a technician resolves it.
About 2, out of roughly 118 total nights below freezing, on the higher side for towns in this part of the metro.
