Midlothian's climate zone, in plain terms
Midlothian falls in IECC climate zone 4A, and ENERGY STAR separately groups Chesterfield County into its North-Central 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 Midlothian.
A Richmond, VA contractor who can't name either one on request is worth a second question before you sign.
Data: U.S. EPA / DOE, ENERGY STAR, ENERGY STAR Version 7.0 Climate Zones by County/ZIP (Windows, Doors, and Skylights) (V7.0); Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (DOE Building America), Guide to Determining Climate Zone by County: Building America and IECC 2021 Updates (PNNL-33270) (2021 IECC), from the nearest NOAA station 11 mi away.

Hail risk matters for glass and screen durability in Midlothian; 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 Midlothian installer before you settle on a product line.
