How do I easily work out consumption?
do i multiply 1 weeks meter readings by 52?
1 months by 12?
consult my bill & multiply?
I have been in my house for 6 months & am with powergen energy online for both gas & Elec.

It's quite easy.
take a reading 9 am monday then take another the same time next week.
take the higher reading from the lower reading
Eg monday 1st - 90874
monday 7th - 91476
= 602 - your weekly usage!
this changes depending on the time of yearA minion trying to save the world from Corporate blood suckers!0 -
There is no way to calculate your annual consumption until you have been in the house for a year. However as you have been in for 6 months(Sept-Mar) you have had the heaviest expenditure already; especially for heating.
As a rough guide I use two thirds of my annual total from mid Sept to mid March.0
