What zone 4A means for a Patchogue window
New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ runs a January average near 32°F and climbs to about 75°F by July, a swing that adds up to roughly 5,148 heating degree days most winters, with 853 on the summer cooling side of the ledger.
That load is the actual argument for paying up for a better U-factor in Patchogue, separate from anything a brochure claims.
Zone 4A's requirement is the floor; Patchogue's specific load is what tells you whether beating that floor is worth the extra cost.
