Chimney care in the 276 area
Around Martinsville, Bristol and Alexandria, chimneys see both humid summers and freezing winters. Summer humidity can make a fireplace smell of creosote, and winter freeze-thaw cycles open up crowns and mortar joints. Chimney swifts nest in many open flues from spring to fall, so book cap installs and sweeps for after they leave.
The Census Bureau counts about 241,200 homes and apartments in the 276 territory. 56.3% were built before 1980 and 9.7% before 1940, higher than the Virginia figure of 44.9% built before 1980. The median home here dates from the 1970s, and 69.4% of homes are single-family detached houses.
74.4% of occupied homes heat mainly with electricity and 8.1% with utility gas. Wood is the main heating fuel in 4.9% of homes, higher than the national rate of 1.5%, and 6.6% heat with fuel oil, whose furnaces and boilers also vent through a chimney flue.
Most homes here are more than 40 years old, so original flue liners, mortar joints and chimney crowns have seen decades of weather. An annual inspection catches wear before it becomes a repair. Wood heat is common in this area. Homes that burn wood as their main heat build creosote faster than occasional fireplace users, so plan on more frequent cleaning.
Under the 2021 International Energy Conservation Code, the territory is in climate zone 4A (mixed, humid).
The 276 territory is home to roughly 478,000 people across 139 ZIP codes in Henry County, Washington County, Wise County, Tazewell County and 15 more counties.
