Fort Salonga's Climate Data and Its Top-Rated Window Pros
ENERGY STAR groups Suffolk County into its North-Central zone, the U-factor and SHGC target worth checking against any quote you get in Fort Salonga. Below that spec discussion sit 9 installers, their order set by Google rating, since Fort Salonga is outside this site's window license file. A high rating is worth a look, not a finished decision.

Fort Salonga's climate zone, in plain terms
New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ runs a January average near 31°F and climbs to about 75°F by July, a swing that adds up to roughly 5,218 heating degree days most winters, with 855 on the summer cooling side of the ledger.
That load is the actual argument for paying up for a better U-factor in Fort Salonga, separate from anything a brochure claims.
Zone 4A's requirement is the floor; Fort Salonga's specific load is what tells you whether beating that floor is worth the extra cost.
