Port Charlotte's climate zone, in plain terms
Punta Gorda, FL runs a January average near 65°F and climbs to about 84°F by July, a swing that adds up to roughly 260 heating degree days most winters, with 4,204 on the summer cooling side of the ledger.
That load is the actual argument for paying up for a better U-factor in Port Charlotte, separate from anything a brochure claims.
Zone 2A's requirement is the floor; Port Charlotte's specific load is what tells you whether beating that floor is worth the extra cost.
