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

What zone 3B means for a Midland window
Midland, TX runs a January average near 46°F and climbs to about 83°F by July, a swing that adds up to roughly 2,361 heating degree days most winters, with 2,402 on the summer cooling side of the ledger.
That load is the actual argument for paying up for a better U-factor in Midland, separate from anything a brochure claims.
Zone 3B's requirement is the floor; Midland's specific load is what tells you whether beating that floor is worth the extra cost.
