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

Monsey'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 5,119 heating degree days most winters, with 917 on the summer cooling side of the ledger.
That load is the actual argument for paying up for a better U-factor in Monsey, separate from anything a brochure claims.
Zone 5A's requirement is the floor; Monsey's specific load is what tells you whether beating that floor is worth the extra cost.

What FEMA's risk data says about Monsey
Rockland County's hail risk sits at Very Low and its wildfire risk at Very Low, according to FEMA's National Risk Index.
Hail risk matters for glass and screen durability in Monsey; wildfire risk matters more for the frame material and nearby vegetation than for the glass itself.
Either way, it's a reasonable question to bring to a Monsey installer before you settle on a product line.

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.
