Degree days are a measure of how cold it is outside - and, consequently, of customer demand for heating fuel. As an average homeowner, the amount of fuel that you use has a big impact on how much you pay. Conservation and mechanical efficiency will reduce usage. But nothing effects usage more than the weather. Our Bioheat™ Heating Oil delivery system relies upon degree days to project individual customer demand and keep tanks full without excessive small deliveries. For this reason Shipley Energy has a degree day clock on the roof of our King St. facility. Although, granted, this is not real exciting stuff...sharing our downtown York degree day count is something unique that we can offer to an energy information site. Shipley's degree day clock measures how cold it is outside from September through May. The clock records the daily high and daily low temperatures each day. The median average temperature of the day subtracted from 60 is the number of degree days for that day.
