Hilltown's climate zone, in plain terms
Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington, PA-NJ-DE-MD runs a January average near 28°F and climbs to about 74°F by July, a swing that adds up to roughly 5,724 heating degree days most winters, with 786 on the summer cooling side of the ledger.
That load is the actual argument for paying up for a better U-factor in Hilltown, separate from anything a brochure claims.
Zone 4A's requirement is the floor; Hilltown's specific load is what tells you whether beating that floor is worth the extra cost.
