Richfield, MN Climate Specs + Top-Rated Window Installers
Richfield sits in IECC climate zone 6A, which sets the energy-performance bar here no matter who ends up installing your windows. A window license file doesn't cover Richfield on this site, so Google Maps supplies the 10 ranked names you see below. Checked October 2026.

What zone 6A means for a Richfield window
Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, MN-WI runs a January average near 16°F and climbs to about 74°F by July, a swing that adds up to roughly 7,399 heating degree days most winters, with 830 on the summer cooling side of the ledger.
That load is the actual argument for paying up for a better U-factor in Richfield, separate from anything a brochure claims.
Zone 6A's requirement is the floor; Richfield's specific load is what tells you whether beating that floor is worth the extra cost.
