    Ok i noticed that my meter read's in cubic feet and not cubic metre's.

    How do i work that out lol?

    If it reads hundreds of cubic Ft, you times by 32 to get an approximate number of kWh. Most modern meters are metric i.e. cubic M.
    :doh: Blue text on this forum usually signifies hyperlinks, so click on them!..:wall:
  • It has a little blue dial and below it it say's Cubic Feet below it.

    I worked it out using this calculator http://energylinx.co.uk/gas_meter_conversion.html with all the correct value's and according to the website i used 25kWh for my £1.04 which with my working out's £1.04 divided by 25 = 4.16 per kWh so that seem's arround correct?

    So i used 25kWh on 3hr's worth of warming the house up and 10 min's of cooking on the gas cooker.

    Is that about right?

    Edit-: Btw thank's for the calculator i found on this website you posted it :)!
