Salem climate
by the numbers
Salem's unique heating challenges
About 134 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 Windham
First frost typically lands around October 24
Seasonal timing
The median first frost in Salem lands around October 24, later than most of the state and closer to what Pelham and Windham record. Control faults that were invisible in mild weather usually surface once demand ramps after that.

People also ask
Yes, and it's common. If the wall has fewer conductors than the thermostat expects, staging and backup heat can be wired in a way that looks fine on the screen and behaves badly at the equipment. A technician checks the wiring, not just the display.
Sometimes the outdoor conditions call for it. Often it's a control setting or a miswired stage telling the system to bring in backup far earlier than it needs to, which shows up on the bill before it shows up as discomfort.
By the numbers, yes: about 134 nights below freezing against 169 in the far northwest of the state. That gap changes what equipment can get away with here, and Plaistow next door sits in the same mild pocket.
Turn it off at the thermostat and leave it off until a technician looks at it. Repeatedly cycling a system that isn't responding can turn a control fault into something more expensive.
