Old flat was on a metric meter (a unit is a cu m), new flat is on an older imperial meter (a unit is 100 cu ft). So a metric unit has far less energy value and will run up the units faster.
As explained above, the conversion factor is 2.83, so your 4 old units should be around 1.4 units now.
If you are still paying the same for 0.8 units. that's because the price has gone up!
To compare usage properly, always use the final kWh figure, which is what you are actually billed in.No free lunch, and no free laptop0 -
to calculate cubic meter of natural gas we need to know correction factor(1,02264). i want to know how can we calculate this factor?is there a formula?0

The correction factor is a constant and doesn't change. The calorific value changes with the quality of the gas.
From the BG website:
Correction factor (CF)
Used to convert gas units into kilowatt-hours (kWh). The correction factor (1.02264) takes into account changes in the volume of gas based on temperature and pressure.0 -
i need to convert m3 in energy(kWh) without knowing enything about calorific value of gas..i need some nuber to multiply
m3...like m3*10,54=---kWh,
but i want to know how to get that number..i need explanation..so i dont understand now, is this correction factor a constant or not?..enyway thank you very much for trying..0 -

However if you insist:
M3 xCalorific value 39.4 x volume correction 1.02264 / 3.6 = 11.1922
These are the figures for the East Mids area at the moment,some values may change slightly eg calorific value0 -
I've been searching all afternoon trying to find out Eon's present 'calorific value', and was brought to this thread.
I've just switched to Eon for gas from Npower and their calorific value was always the same. I want to calculate my bill before it arrives, but I've found out the value changes from area to area.
So, is there anyone from Lincolnshire, or N.E.Lincs who can look on their last Eon bill and post what the calorific value was please?
Thanks,

At any period in time it is the same for all suppliers in the same region, so use your Npower figure.
If you particularly want the figure fine, but a good kWhr approximation will be obtained by multiplying cubic metres by 11 (or the slightly more accurate multiplier given in an earlier post).0 -
Thanks for replying jalexa.
I'll carry on my calculating then. I always work out my bills after giving in the readings to make sure the bills are right. They make so many mistakes these days.

Good advice on here already Candy.
There's an FAQ on our website which you might also find useful. It's under Existing Customers/Understanding Your Bill/FAQ 4.
Hope this is of interest.
