What zone 1A means for a Pharr window
Pharr falls in IECC climate zone 1A, and ENERGY STAR separately groups Hidalgo County into its Southern zone for window certification.
Those two numbers, not the brand on the box, set the U-factor and SHGC worth checking on any quote you get in Pharr.
A McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, TX contractor who can't name either one on request is worth a second question before you sign.
