Harrison's Climate Data and Its Top-Rated Window Pros
ENERGY STAR groups Westchester County into its Northern zone, the U-factor and SHGC target worth checking against any quote you get in Harrison. Below that spec discussion sit 10 installers, their order set by Google rating, since Harrison is outside this site's window license file. A high rating is worth a look, not a finished decision.

What zone 4A means for a Harrison window
New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ runs a January average near 30°F and climbs to about 74°F by July, a swing that adds up to roughly 5,492 heating degree days most winters, with 787 on the summer cooling side of the ledger.
That load is the actual argument for paying up for a better U-factor in Harrison, separate from anything a brochure claims.
Zone 4A's requirement is the floor; Harrison's specific load is what tells you whether beating that floor is worth the extra cost.
