What chimneys face in the 908 area
Geographically, 908 covers north-central New Jersey, from Elizabeth, Union, Linden and Plainfield in Union County west to Westfield, Summit, Somerville, Flemington and Phillipsburg. It is an old housing stock: of about 333,000 homes and apartments, roughly 67% were built before 1980 and 20% before 1940, and the median home dates from the 1960s. About 59% are single-family detached houses.
Elizabeth is the seat of Union County and the fourth most populous city in New Jersey, behind Newark, Jersey City and Paterson. It had 137,298 people at the 2020 census, up 9.9% from 2010.
Winters are cool rather than harsh. NOAA's 1991–2020 normals for Newark Liberty International Airport, NJ show about 4,701 heating degree days a year, a January average of 32.8°F, and about 31.5 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.
By Census count, about 72% of households heat mainly with utility gas and about 13% with heating oil. 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 4A (54%), 5A (46%). Wood, gas or oil, the NFPA 211 standard says chimneys, fireplaces and vents should be inspected once a year.
