Macon, GA Climate Specs + Top-Rated Window Installers

Macon's climate zone, in plain terms
Macon-Bibb County, GA runs a January average near 48°F and climbs to about 83°F by July, a swing that adds up to roughly 2,146 heating degree days most winters, with 2,326 on the summer cooling side of the ledger.
That load is the actual argument for paying up for a better U-factor in Macon, separate from anything a brochure claims.
Zone 3A's requirement is the floor; Macon's specific load is what tells you whether beating that floor is worth the extra cost.
