Chimneys and homes in the 228 area
The 228 territory covers the Mississippi Gulf Coast, from Gulfport and Biloxi to Long Beach, Ocean Springs, Pascagoula and Bay St. Louis. Much of it is newer: of roughly 174,000 homes and apartments, about 35% were built in 2000 or later and the median home dates from the 1990s, though 39% still predate 1980. About 69% are single-family detached houses.
Winters are short and mild. NOAA's 1991–2020 normals for Gulfport - Biloxi Airport, MS show about 1,507 heating degree days a year, a January average of 51.8°F.
Census figures put electricity as the main heating fuel in about 80% of occupied homes and utility gas in about 16%. 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. The area falls in IECC climate zone 2A. Whatever the fuel, NFPA 211, the national standard for chimneys, fireplaces and vents, calls for a yearly inspection.
