Montgomery's Climate Data and Its Top-Rated Window Pros
Montgomery sits in IECC climate zone 5A, which sets the energy-performance bar here no matter who ends up installing your windows. A window license file doesn't cover Montgomery on this site, so Google Maps supplies the 10 ranked names you see below. Checked October 2026.

Montgomery's climate zone, in plain terms
Montgomery falls in IECC climate zone 5A, and ENERGY STAR separately groups Kendall County into its Northern zone for window certification.
Those two numbers, not the brand on the box, set the U-factor and SHGC worth checking on any quote you get in Montgomery.
A Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN contractor who can't name either one on request is worth a second question before you sign.
Data: U.S. EPA / DOE, ENERGY STAR, ENERGY STAR Version 7.0 Climate Zones by County/ZIP (Windows, Doors, and Skylights) (V7.0); Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (DOE Building America), Guide to Determining Climate Zone by County: Building America and IECC 2021 Updates (PNNL-33270) (2021 IECC), from the nearest NOAA station 4.9 mi away.
What FEMA's risk data says about Montgomery
FEMA rates Kendall County's hurricane risk as Very Low and its wind risk as Relatively High.
Neither rating changes a window's energy label, but both are exactly what impact-resistance and design-pressure ratings are built to answer for a Montgomery home.
Ask specifically about design pressure and impact rating for Montgomery, not just energy performance, if either risk rating comes back on the high side.
- Hurricane
- Very Low
- Strong wind
- Relatively High
- Winter weather
- Relatively Low

The order below weighs a Google rating against its review count, the same way this site weighs a U-factor against a brochure claim: on the number, not the name. Treat it as a rating, never as proof of a license, bond or HVHZ approval.
