Chimneys and homes in the 231 area
The 231 territory covers the northwest Lower Peninsula of Michigan, from Traverse City and Petoskey to Cadillac, Ludington and Muskegon. It is an old housing stock: of about 381,000 homes and apartments, roughly 53% were built before 1980 and 13% before 1940, and the median home dates from the 1970s. About 77% are single-family detached houses.
Winters are long and cold. NOAA's 1991–2020 normals for Traverse City Cherry Cptl Airport, MI show about 7,104 heating degree days a year, a January average of 23.1°F. Repeated freezing and thawing is hard on brick, mortar and chimney crowns, which is why crown repair, repointing and chimney caps come up so often on older homes.
Census figures put utility gas as the main heating fuel in about 57% of occupied homes and propane in about 23%. Wood is the main heat in about 7.9%, one of the higher shares in the country, so many chimneys here see heavy use and creosote builds up quickly. The area falls in IECC climate zone 6A (74%), 5A (26%). Whatever the fuel, NFPA 211, the national standard for chimneys, fireplaces and vents, calls for a yearly inspection.
