No, electric meters are in kWhs, the same unit as your tariff prices.

Thanks for all the help on this thread. I was using the units rather than converting no wonder the figures were way way too low compared with my bills!

Do I need to do a conversion for electric units used too?

No electricity meters record kwh and that's what you're charged for. Just the normal thing of including standing charge or different rate for first x units.

OK, assuming no estimated, for four summer months that's:

580 kwh electricity, average 5 a day - sounds good to me!
175 units gas = approx 1925 if a metric meter or 5775 if imperial. Daily average = 16kwh if metric or 47kwh if imperial.

To compare, we a family of six in a 3 bed house were averaging 13 kwh elec and 26 kwh gas per day.
