About homes and winters in area code 517
Area code 517 covers south central Michigan, from Lansing and East Lansing to Jackson, Howell and the towns between them. It is an old housing stock: of about 395,000 homes and apartments, roughly 61% were built before 1980 and 19% before 1940, and the median home dates from the 1970s. About 71% are single-family detached houses.
Winter here is serious. NOAA's 1991–2020 normals for Detroit Metro Airport, MI show about 6,067 heating degree days a year, a January average of 25.8°F, and about 45 inches of snow. 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 68% of occupied homes, per the Census), followed by electricity at about 13%. Wood is the main heat in about 3.1%; most fireplaces here are used for comfort rather than everyday heat. 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.
