Chimney care in the 251 area
Chimneys around Mobile, Foley and Fairhope may sit unused for most of the year, which gives creosote, leaves and nests time to collect, and heavy summer storms test caps, crowns and flashing. Humidity speeds up rust on dampers and chase covers. A fall inspection before the first fire, and a cap with mesh, keep animals and water out. Dryer vents run year-round here, so lint builds up quickly.
The Census Bureau counts about 362,000 homes and apartments in the 251 territory. 39.2% were built before 1980 and 3.1% before 1940, lower than the Alabama figure of 42.9% built before 1980. The median home here dates from the 1980s, and 69.3% of homes are single-family detached houses.
72.6% of occupied homes heat mainly with electricity and 23.3% with utility gas. Wood is the main heating fuel in 0.6% of homes, lower than the national rate of 1.5%.
Under the 2021 International Energy Conservation Code, 91% of residents live in climate zone 2A (hot, humid), and the rest mostly in 3A (warm, humid).
