Chimneys and homes in the 828 area
The 828 territory covers Western North Carolina, from Asheville, Hendersonville and Brevard to Waynesville, Sylva, Franklin and Highlands, and east to Hickory, Morganton, Lenoir and Boone. Census figures count about 636,000 homes and apartments here. About 42% were built before 1980 (6.8% before 1940), and the median home dates from the 1980s. About 69% are single-family detached houses.
Asheville, the seat of Buncombe County, sits where the French Broad and Swannanoa rivers meet. It is the most populous city in Western North Carolina, with 94,589 people at the 2020 census and about 422,000 in its metro area.
Winters are moderate. NOAA's 1991–2020 normals for Asheville Regional Airport, NC show about 3,840 heating degree days a year, a January average of 38.7°F, and about 10.3 inches of snow. Rain and the occasional freeze still work on brick and mortar over the years, so a cracked crown or a missing cap is worth fixing early.
Census figures put electricity as the main heating fuel in about 64% of occupied homes and utility gas in about 13%. Wood is the main heat in about 4.4%; most fireplaces here are used for comfort rather than everyday heat. The area falls in IECC climate zone 4A (67%), 3A (26%), 5A (7%). Whatever the fuel, NFPA 211, the national standard for chimneys, fireplaces and vents, calls for a yearly inspection.
