About homes and winters in area code 574
Area code 574 covers north central Indiana, from South Bend and Mishawaka to Elkhart, Goshen, Plymouth and the towns between them. It is an old housing stock: of about 310,000 homes and apartments, roughly 61% were built before 1980 and 19% before 1940, and the median home dates from the 1970s. About 75% are single-family detached houses.
Winter here is serious. NOAA's 1991–2020 normals for South Bend Michiana Regional Airport, IN show about 6,400 heating degree days a year, a January average of 24.1°F, and about 64.5 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 76% of occupied homes, per the Census), followed by electricity at about 15%. Wood is the main heat in about 1.9%; 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.
