Chimneys and homes in the 717 area
The 717/223 territory covers south central Pennsylvania, from Harrisburg, Mechanicsburg and Carlisle to Lancaster, York, Hanover, Gettysburg and Chambersburg. It is an old housing stock: of about 851,000 homes and apartments, roughly 57% were built before 1980 and 19% before 1940, and the median home dates from the 1970s. About 60% are single-family detached houses.
Winters are long and cold. NOAA's 1991–2020 normals for Middletown Harrisburg International Airport, PA show about 5,024 heating degree days a year, a January average of 30.8°F, and about 29.9 inches of snow. 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 36% of occupied homes and electricity in about 33%. Wood is the main heat in about 3.5%; most fireplaces here are used for comfort rather than everyday heat. Oil furnaces and boilers vent through a chimney too, and their flues need checking as well. The area falls in IECC climate zone 4A. Whatever the fuel, NFPA 211, the national standard for chimneys, fireplaces and vents, calls for a yearly inspection.
