Oxford at a glance
Heating and cooling climate
NOAA's 1991–2020 climate normals for the FAIRFIELD, OH station (about 14 miles away) show about 5,233 heating degree days and 1,118 cooling degree days in a typical year, with about 114 nights at or below freezing and 36 days reaching 90°F or more. Heating demand is far larger than cooling demand here, so the furnace, boiler or heat pump carries most of the load and a breakdown in a cold snap is the most pressing kind of call.
