Window replacement in Santa Maria
Santa Maria's weather is cool and steady. The airport's monthly average highs stay in the 60s and low 70s all year, and the coldest nights average a little under 40°F.
That climate puts the city in California's building climate Zone 5, an unusual spot for windows: the state puts no cap at all on how much sun heat the glass lets in. Once a swap passes 75 square feet, the only energy number your new windows must meet is U-0.27. Lompoc is in Zone 5 as well.
Head down the coast to Santa Barbara and it flips. That city is in Zone 6, where the U-factor cap loosens to 0.30 but a solar heat gain cap of 0.23 kicks in. So a window can pass at one end of the county and miss at the other, and a crew that works both ends carries two sets of numbers.
In Zone 5, the number to compare across quotes is the U-factor, which tells you how well the new glass and frame hold heat in on those cool nights.
