About homes and winters in area code 859
Area code 859 covers Central and Northern Kentucky, from Lexington and Georgetown to Richmond, Frankfort, Nicholasville, Winchester and Florence. Census figures count about 489,000 homes and apartments here. About 46% were built before 1980 (11% before 1940), and the median home dates from the 1980s. About 66% are single-family detached houses.
Lexington is a consolidated city coterminous with Fayette County, Kentucky, United States, of which it is also the county seat. As of the 2020 census the city's population was 322,570, making it the second-most populous city in Kentucky, the 14th-most populous city in the Southeast, and the 59th-most populous city in the United States.
Winters bring a real heating season. NOAA's 1991–2020 normals for Lexington Bluegrass Airport, KY show about 4,432 heating degree days a year, a January average of 33.9°F, and about 14.5 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.
The most common way to heat a home here is electricity (about 54% of occupied homes, per the Census), followed by utility gas at about 38%. 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. Energy codes place it in IECC climate zone 4A. NFPA 211, the national chimney and venting standard, recommends an inspection every year no matter what you burn.
