Chimney care in the 740 area
Winters around Newark, Lancaster and Delaware mean long, heavy heating seasons and deep freeze-thaw cycles. Wood stoves, inserts and fireplaces that run for months build creosote quickly, and ice and snow load test crowns, caps and flashing. Plan an inspection and sweep in late summer or early fall, before the busy season starts.
The Census Bureau counts about 638,600 homes and apartments in the 740 territory. 60.3% were built before 1980 and 20.6% before 1940, close to the Ohio figure of 64.6% built before 1980. The median home here dates from the 1970s, and 74.6% of homes are single-family detached houses.
48.3% of occupied homes heat mainly with utility gas and 31.3% with electricity. Wood is the main heating fuel in 3.6% of homes, higher than the national rate of 1.5%.
With 20.6% of homes built before 1940, many chimneys here are older masonry. Older flues can be unlined or have clay tile liners that have cracked over the years, which a camera inspection of the flue will show. 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, 61% of residents live in climate zone 5A (cool, humid), and the rest mostly in 4A (mixed, humid).
The 740 territory (with overlay 220) is home to roughly 1,461,000 people across 323 ZIP codes in Licking County, Fairfield County, Muskingum County, Delaware County and 33 more counties.
