Chimney care in the 402 area
Winters around Omaha, Lincoln and Bellevue 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 679,600 homes and apartments in the 402 territory. 56.8% were built before 1980 and 18% before 1940, close to the Nebraska figure of 59.3% built before 1980. The median home here dates from the 1970s, and 70.7% of homes are single-family detached houses.
61.6% of occupied homes heat mainly with utility gas and 30.1% with electricity. Wood is the main heating fuel in 0.7% of homes, lower than the national rate of 1.5%.
With 18% 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.
Under the 2021 International Energy Conservation Code, the territory is in climate zone 5A (cool, humid).
