How Moncton is built

Moncton's houses by when they were built Ten house shapes, one for each tenth of Moncton's 23,365 houses. Before 1961: 24%, 1961–1990: 37%, 1991–2000: 12%, 2001 or later: 28%. Older houses glow hotter.
  • Before 1961 24%
  • 1961–1990 37%
  • 1991–2000 12%
  • 2001 or later 28%
Each house stands for one in ten of Moncton's 23,365 houses (single-detached, semi-detached, row and duplex), drawn by when it was built. The glow shows the usual pattern: older houses tend to be leakier and less insulated. More snow in the drawing means more heating degree-days: a longer, colder heating season.

What the analysis shows

Moncton gets about 4,514 heating degree-days a year, a measure of how much heating its climate needs, and its winter design temperature, the cold day heating systems are sized for, is −22.1°C. Those figures come from the climate data for Moncton International in HOT2000, the home-energy software Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) gives energy advisors. Weather-normalizing your bills against those degree-days separates heating from baseload (lights, appliances, hot water), so you can see how much of the bill a heating upgrade can actually touch, and compare a mild year with a harsh one fairly.

In Moncton, summer air conditioning also shows up on the electricity bill: compare your July and August use with a spring month to see roughly what cooling costs, and how much a heat pump or better attic insulation could take off it.

Atlantic Canada Maritimes and Newfoundland

What this means in Moncton’s climate

Damp, windy, icy winters and costly oil: switch to heat pumps, seal, test for radon.

Atlantic winters are wet, windy and icy rather than extremely cold, and summers are mild. Heating oil is still common and its price rose sharply in 2026, while heat pumps already heat many homes. An EnerGuide evaluation here should plan the move off oil, seal wind-driven leaks, fix moisture before insulating, and include a radon test.

  • Plan your move off oil. Oil prices rose 65% to 81% in a year, and corrosion is a leading cause of oil tank leaks. Cold-climate heat pumps can be up to three times as efficient as oil heating. Ask: Ask the advisor to note your oil tank's age and condition, and to size a cold-climate heat pump with a backup plan.

Why weather-normalize bills?

A cold winter raises heating bills even if nothing about the house changed, and a hot summer raises cooling bills. Normalizing to degree-days lets you compare years fairly and measure real savings.
