Dixon's climate zone, in plain terms
Vallejo, CA runs a January average near 47°F and climbs to about 75°F by July, a swing that adds up to roughly 2,501 heating degree days most winters, with 1,268 on the summer cooling side of the ledger.
That load is the actual argument for paying up for a better U-factor in Dixon, separate from anything a brochure claims.
Zone 3B's requirement is the floor; Dixon's specific load is what tells you whether beating that floor is worth the extra cost.
