Montgomery's climate zone, in plain terms
Montgomery, AL runs a January average near 50°F and climbs to about 85°F by July, a swing that adds up to roughly 1,755 heating degree days most winters, with 2,847 on the summer cooling side of the ledger.
That load is the actual argument for paying up for a better U-factor in Montgomery, separate from anything a brochure claims.
Zone 3A's requirement is the floor; Montgomery's specific load is what tells you whether beating that floor is worth the extra cost.
