About homes and winters in area code 802
Area code 802 covers all of Vermont, from Burlington and Lake Champlain to Montpelier, Rutland and Brattleboro, and the small towns and mountain towns in between. It is an old housing stock: of about 335,000 homes and apartments, roughly 58% were built before 1980 and 26% before 1940, and the median home dates from the 1970s. About 67% are single-family detached houses.
Winter here is serious. NOAA's 1991–2020 normals for Burlington International Airport, VT show about 6,960 heating degree days a year, a January average of 20.9°F, and about 87.5 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 heating oil (about 41% of occupied homes, per the Census), followed by propane at about 18%. Wood is the main heat in about 13%, one of the higher shares in the country, so many chimneys here see heavy use and creosote builds up quickly. Oil heat sends its exhaust up a chimney flue as well, so the flue serving the boiler or furnace deserves the same yearly look. Energy codes place it in IECC climate zone 6A. NFPA 211, the national chimney and venting standard, recommends an inspection every year no matter what you burn.
