What chimneys face in the 203/475 area
Geographically, 203/475 covers southwestern Connecticut, from New Haven along the Long Island Sound shore through Bridgeport, Norwalk, Stamford and Greenwich, and inland to Waterbury and Danbury. It is an old housing stock: of about 752,000 homes and apartments, roughly 70% were built before 1980 and 21% before 1940, and the median home dates from the 1960s. About 55% are single-family detached houses.
New Haven sits on New Haven Harbor on the northern shore of Long Island Sound. With 134,023 people at the 2020 census it is the third most populous city in Connecticut, and Greater New Haven is home to an estimated 577,000 residents.
Heating season runs long. NOAA's 1991–2020 normals for Bridgeport Sikorsky Mem Airport, CT show about 5,140 heating degree days a year, a January average of 31.4°F, and about 33.6 inches of snow. Those freeze-thaw cycles slowly break down masonry. A cracked crown, spalling brick or a missing cap lets water in, and water is what does the most damage to a chimney.
By Census count, about 41% of households heat mainly with utility gas and about 34% with heating oil. Wood is the main heat in fewer than 2 in 100 homes, so most fireplaces here are for cool evenings, and gas fireplaces and inserts are common. An oil-fired boiler or furnace also needs a sound, clean flue, since soot and scale build up over a heating season. It sits in IECC climate zone 5A. Wood, gas or oil, the NFPA 211 standard says chimneys, fireplaces and vents should be inspected once a year.
