Renegade Heating & Cooling

At Renegade Heating &amp; Cooling, we're more than just an HVAC service provider—we’re a family dedicated to ensuring your family’s comfort and safety, all year long. ​Owned and operated by Fred and Jared Worman, Renegade grew from a simple belief: that honest, reliable service delivered with a neighborly touch makes all the difference in the world. As a family-owned business based in the heart of Ocean County, New Jersey, we bring over 25 years of collective experience to every doorstep we visit. Our story didn't begin in a corporate boardroom; it started in the local neighborhoods where we grew up. We understand that in our coastal climate, when your heating or cooling system fails, it’s more than just a mechanical glitch—it’s an emergency that affects your daily life and the people you love. We didn’t start Renegade just to fix machines; we started it to serve the community that has supported us for decades. From the beach houses in Point Pleasant and Manasquan to the family homes in Toms River and Brick, we’ve had the privilege of working with neighbors who value what we value: clear communication, dependable results, and master-level workmanship. In an era of massive corporate HVAC companies- we choose to do things differently. That’s why we call ourselves "Renegade." When you call us, you aren't routed to a faraway office; you connect directly with a member of our team who is ready to listen and provide a real solution. We are hands-on owners who are deeply invested in our community and committed to forging lasting relationships built on honesty. We treat every job as if we were working on our own home—with care, respect, and a total focus on your family's well-being. We don’t believe in "generic" fixes. Instead, we take the time to understand your unique needs, whether that's maintaining a classic boiler or installing a state-of-the-art high-efficiency system. We’ve tackled every imaginable HVAC challenge over the last 25 years.

An Essex County home inspector has built a free website that lets anyone look up the public records behind a New Jersey property &mdash; building permits, flood zones, fire history, property taxes, and more &mdash; by typing in an address.
The site, Permit &amp; Parcel (oprasearch.app), covers all 564 New Jersey municipalities and pulls only from official sources: state and county databases, FEMA flood maps, and the towns' own municipal codes. There's no account, no email capture, and no cost.
"I kept watching buyers fall in love with a house before anyone checked the paper trail &mdash; the open permits, the flood zone, what the town actually requires when a home changes hands," said Leo Betancor, a Certified Master Inspector based in Cedar Grove and the founder of the site. "All of that is public record. It just wasn't in one place anyone could actually use."
Alongside the main lookup, the site includes free single-purpose tools: a lead-safe inspection lookup showing which of the two state-required inspection methods each town uses under New Jersey's lead paint law, a searchable directory of every DCA-certified lead evaluation and abatement contractor sorted by distance, a fire-incident map built from more than 40 years of state fire records, and a radon map covering every municipality.
A companion site, njflood.zone, gives instant FEMA flood-zone answers for any New Jersey address &mdash; built after the federal government shutdown left FEMA's own map site unreliable &mdash; running on the site's own servers with the complete flood map data for the state loaded locally.
The project was recently featured in <a href="https://www.tapinto.net/towns/east-hanover-slash-florham-park/columns/at-home-with-holly/articles/deep-dive-conversations-what-the-house-won-t-tell-you" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">TAPinto</a>'s "At Home with Holly" column. Both sites are free at <a href="https://oprasearch.app" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">oprasearch.app</a> and <a href="https://njflood.zone" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">njflood.zone</a>.
