About homes and winters in area code 814
Area code 814/582 covers western and central Pennsylvania, from Erie on Lake Erie south through Meadville and Oil City to State College, Altoona, Johnstown and the Laurel Highlands. It is an old housing stock: of about 610,000 homes and apartments, roughly 70% were built before 1980 and 27% before 1940, and the median home dates from the 1960s. About 72% are single-family detached houses.
Winter here is serious. NOAA's 1991–2020 normals for Erie International Airport, PA show about 5,905 heating degree days a year, a January average of 28.2°F, and about 104.3 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 52% of occupied homes, per the Census), followed by heating oil at about 18%. Wood is the main heat in about 4.7%; most fireplaces here are used for comfort rather than everyday heat. 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 5A. NFPA 211, the national chimney and venting standard, recommends an inspection every year no matter what you burn.
