Chimney care in the 231 area
Winters around Muskegon, Traverse City and Cadillac 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 380,900 homes and apartments in the 231 territory. 52.8% were built before 1980 and 13.2% before 1940, lower than the Michigan figure of 62.9% built before 1980. The median home here dates from the 1970s, and 77.2% of homes are single-family detached houses.
56.8% of occupied homes heat mainly with utility gas and 22.7% with bottled, tank or LP gas. Wood is the main heating fuel in 7.9% of homes, higher than the national rate of 1.5%.
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, 74% of residents live in climate zone 6A (cold, humid), and the rest mostly in 5A (cool, humid).
