calculating usage??? im confused!!

dollydaydream07

when do a comparison, whats the best way to calculate your usage?

i've been doing it by how much we pay annually but is it better to work it out as kwh per hour??

if so how do you work that out? im sat here looking at my bills for the past year and i have absolutely no idea how to work it out??

many thanks

To get the best results from comparison sites, you need to enter your annual usage in kWh, either from your past bills or ask your supplier.

the electricity i can work out, its just the gas thats got me really confused, whats the difference between units and kwh

Gas units (cu Ft or cu M) need to be converted into kWh because that is how they charge for your usage. see here

thanks for the link,

an hour and half later and ive switched from a scottish power tarriff to another SP tarriff, which will cost us an extra £5 a month and its still cheaper than any other supplier for us

Is your new SP tariff capped, because they haven't upped their prices yet.

yeah it is, i thought i'd get in there before they do, tho i wish i had done it last week, like i kept saying i was going to, then i would have got the cheapest tarriff which was pulled on monday i think!!
