AUTOMATIC DELIVERY Servco Oil has the ability to project your next oil delivery based on a degree day system (see degree day explanation below). Simply put the colder the weather the more frequent the deliveries, based on the past history and usage of your family and home. BackDEGREE DAYS AND YOUR K FACTOR Frequently you hear the term degree day and K factor when discussing oil deliveries. This is a simplified explanation of what a Degree Day and K factor is. In the oil delivery business calendar days mean nothing in terms of calculating the deliveries, a Degree Day means everything. As an example if on a winter day the high temperature is 30 degrees and the low temperature is 0 degrees the average temperature would be 15 degrees. You would subtract 15 from 65 (the temperature above which no heat is needed) you come up with 50, which means during that day 50 degree days have elapsed. In our case the actual degree days are calculated by a sophisticated "degree day clock" at our office which takes into consideration all the factors that effect degree days such as wind, sun and the actual number of hours at any given temperature, it also adds a factor for domestic hot water usage if appropriate, to compensate for your hot water usage. Based on past deliveries every customer has a K factor, this is the number of degree days which elapse for every gallon of oil your burner consumes. For instance if you took the above example of 50 degree days over 24 hours and the house had a K factor of 6, you would use 8.3 gallons of oil during that period. If your house had a K factor of 10 you would use 5 gallons during the same period. If your house had a K factor of 1 you would burn 50 gallons that day. Therefore obviously the higher the K factor the less oil you consume. Our area typically has somewhere around 6000 degree days per year so the house with a K factor of 6 should use about 1000 per year and likewise a house with a K factor of 10 would use about 600 gallons per year, and the house with a K factor of 1 would use about 6000 per year.
