Chimney care in the 406 area
Around Billings, Missoula and Bozeman, dry air, big day-to-night temperature swings and long cold seasons are common, and wood stoves are popular. Heavy use builds creosote fast. In wildfire-prone areas, a spark arrestor cap matters; check your local fire code and HOA rules for what is required.
The Census Bureau counts about 516,100 homes and apartments in the 406 territory. 50.9% were built before 1980 and 13.1% before 1940, close to the Montana figure of 50.8% built before 1980. The median home here dates from the 1970s, and 69.2% of homes are single-family detached houses.
51.9% of occupied homes heat mainly with utility gas and 25.7% with electricity. Wood is the main heating fuel in 7% 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. Cold winters mean freeze-thaw cycles: water that gets into brick, mortar and the crown expands when it freezes. A sound cap and crown keep that water out.
Under the 2021 International Energy Conservation Code, the territory is in climate zone 6B (cold, dry).
The 406 territory is home to roughly 1,116,000 people across 386 ZIP codes in Yellowstone County, Gallatin County, Missoula County, Flathead County and 52 more counties.
