Chimney care in the 704 area
Around Charlotte, Concord and Gastonia, 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 1,011,900 homes and apartments in the 704 territory. 32.8% were built before 1980 and 4.5% before 1940, lower than the North Carolina figure of 35.7% built before 1980. The median home here dates from the 1990s, and 66.4% of homes are single-family detached houses.
55% of occupied homes heat mainly with electricity and 39.8% with utility gas. Wood is the main heating fuel in 0.6% of homes, lower than the national rate of 1.5%.
36.2% of homes here were built in 2000 or later, so many fireplaces are factory-built or gas units. These still need their vents and manufacturer-listed parts checked, and the dryer vent runs in newer homes are often long.
Under the 2021 International Energy Conservation Code, the territory is in climate zone 3A (warm, humid).
