What chimneys face in the 803/839 area

Geographically, 803/839 covers the South Carolina Midlands, from Columbia, Lexington and Aiken to Rock Hill, Fort Mill, Sumter and Orangeburg. Much of it is newer: of roughly 774,000 homes and apartments, about 31% were built in 2000 or later and the median home dates from the 1980s, though 37% still predate 1980. About 67% are single-family detached houses.

Columbia is the capital of South Carolina and its second most populous city, with 136,632 people at the 2020 census. It is the principal city of the Columbia metropolitan area, the second largest in the state.

The heating season is short. NOAA's 1991–2020 normals for Columbia, SC show about 2,473 heating degree days a year, a January average of 45.7°F, and about 1.2 inches of snow.

By Census count, about 67% of households heat mainly with electricity and about 27% with utility gas. 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. It sits in IECC climate zone 3A. Wood, gas or oil, the NFPA 211 standard says chimneys, fireplaces and vents should be inspected once a year.
