About homes and winters in area code 973
Area code 973/862 covers northern New Jersey (with the 862 overlay), from Newark and the Essex County suburbs of Montclair, the Oranges and Livingston to Paterson, Clifton and Passaic and west to Morristown and Parsippany. It is an old housing stock: of about 734,000 homes and apartments, roughly 73% were built before 1980 and 24% before 1940, and the median home dates from the 1960s. About 43% are single-family detached houses.
Newark is the most populous city in New Jersey, the seat of Essex County and a principal city of the New York metropolitan area. It had 311,549 people at the 2020 census, and the Census Bureau estimated 323,808 for 2025.
Winters bring a real heating season. 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.
The most common way to heat a home here is utility gas (about 70% of occupied homes, per the Census), followed by electricity at about 14%. 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 5A (55%), 4A (45%). NFPA 211, the national chimney and venting standard, recommends an inspection every year no matter what you burn.
