Snow

Wikipedia's climate table for Hart shows average January snowfall of 26.4 inches. Lake-effect snow loads the roofs here every winter, and ice dams form wherever the attic runs warm.

Housing

The 2020 census counted 2,053 residents and 823 housing units, 11.7% vacant. Older homes near downtown sit on basements with bare rim joists and thin attics; rural homes in the township often have outbuildings.

Orchards and farms

Oceana County is orchard and farm country. Steel barns, packing buildings and shops need foam to stop condensation and hold heat.

Climate

Hart has a humid continental climate, with warm, often humid summers and cold, sometimes severe winters. Closed-cell foam on cold surfaces and air sealing at the attic and rim joist handle both seasons.

Older downtown homes

Older homes near downtown Hart often have fieldstone or block basements and story-and-a-half layouts. Houses like that lose a lot of heat through kneewalls and the attic floors behind them. Sealing and insulating those areas, plus foam at the rim joist, makes the upstairs and first floor noticeably warmer.
