Gas Reading Question

englishdesi

Hi All,

Am with NPower, just moved out of my flat and back home with the parents, so it is empty and I don't want to be paying 43 pounds a month for gas an electricity.

Spoke to Npower and they said actual gas reading in december was 86 and now my reading was 213. As no one is there, I turned off the gas and I just wondered

is this a lot of usage ? How much would this have cost between December and now ?

any help would be appreciated

Is your meter metric or imperial?

whatever is the most common one

You've used 127 units.

If imperial, that's roughly 127 x 31 = 3937kwh (meter ft3)
If metric, that's roughly 127 x 11 = 1397kwh 9meter m3)

At, say 3.5p per kwh, that's either 3937kwh = £137.80 or
1397kwh x 3.5p = £48.90

Based on those readings and very roughly using a unit rate of 3.9ppu.

Imperial

£155

Metric

£54

But the unit rate I used was quite high so £43 is probably correct and you would have a metric meter.

If it's a new meter, it'll be metric, if older imperial. Look for cubic metres or m3 for metric. Imperial meters will have ft3 or cubic feet somewhere on them.

You should also make sure that both fuels are on a no [daily] standing charge tariff. If not, you'll still have to pay £9 to £17 per month even if you don't use a single unit!
