About homes and winters in area code 262
Area code 262 wraps around Milwaukee County, from Kenosha and Racine on Lake Michigan to Waukesha, West Bend, Port Washington and the lake country west of the city. It is an old housing stock: of about 499,000 homes and apartments, roughly 54% were built before 1980 and 13% before 1940, and the median home dates from the 1970s. About 68% are single-family detached houses.
Winter here is serious. NOAA's 1991–2020 normals for Racine Batten Airport, WI show about 6,682 heating degree days a year, a January average of 23.3°F. Water that soaks into brick freezes, expands and thaws again many times each winter; over the years that cracks crowns and loosens mortar joints, so a cap and a sound crown are worth the money.
The most common way to heat a home here is utility gas (about 76% of occupied homes, per the Census), followed by electricity at about 17%. 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 5A. NFPA 211, the national chimney and venting standard, recommends an inspection every year no matter what you burn.
