Prairie City is a small Jasper County community adjacent to the Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge, one of the largest tallgrass prairie restorations in the country. The town offers a tranquil lifestyle surrounded by restored native landscapes and working farms.
Prairie City's Jasper County location on the wide-open prairie delivers harsh winters with driving snow, ice, and prolonged cold spells where temperatures hover below zero for days at a time.
Prairie City's older homes along its main streets were built before energy efficiency was a consideration, and their aging windows are a major contributor to high heating costs. Triple-pane upgrades provide the insulation needed to stay comfortable through Jasper County's long, cold winters.

Living near the wildlife refuge in Prairie City is wonderful but the winters are brutal. Panes replaced our old windows with triple-pane units and the warmth inside our home is incredible even when it is well below zero outside. — Mark V., Refuge Road
