About homes and winters in area code 205

Area code 205/659 covers north central Alabama, from Birmingham and Vestavia Hills to Mountain Brook, Bessemer, Tuscaloosa and the towns between them. Census figures count about 689,000 homes and apartments here. About 45% were built before 1980 (6.1% before 1940), and the median home dates from the 1980s. About 68% are single-family detached houses.

Birmingham is a city in the north central region of Alabama, United States. It is the third-most populous city in the state, with an estimated population of 196,357 as of 2024.

Winters bring a real heating season. NOAA's 1991–2020 normals for Birmingham Airport, AL show about 2,533 heating degree days a year, a January average of 44.7°F, and about 1.4 inches of snow. Rain and the occasional freeze still work on brick and mortar over the years, so a cracked crown or a missing cap is worth fixing early.

The most common way to heat a home here is electricity (about 57% of occupied homes, per the Census), followed by utility gas at about 37%. 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. Energy codes place it in IECC climate zone 3A. NFPA 211, the national chimney and venting standard, recommends an inspection every year no matter what you burn.
