E-on - meter reading and bill

Josie64

I've just had an e-mail from E-on for a meter reading, which is 00290 and the last reading was 00071 on the 16th november, the bill for november was £43, so how can I work out how much this bill due on the 21st February will be?

I've used 219 units so then I'm not sure how to work out the khw conversion bit, any help would be appreciated, thanks

Sorry I cant help but just wanted to pick your brains as ive just moved to E-on last week, do i give them my own meter readings online, as this was one of the reasons i moved to them as I always miss the meter reader so will find this easier.

You can go online and access your bills - from your bills you might be able to work out how much each unit costs to work out the cost of the units that you have used.

Minxtress - E-on send me an e-mail so I take the meter reading then I log into my account and there is a section where you put the meter reading in yourself.

I presume this is a gas bill? In that case it depends if your meter is metric or imperial-it's marked on it which. For imperial conversion, multiply by 32 to get the approx kWh figure. For metric, multiply by 11.
That will be close enough.
If it's electricity, no conversion is required, as the meter reads in kWh.

Josie64

yes, sorry gas bill, I've just found the last bill and got these figures from it and metric

with multiplier value 1
conversion value 1.02264,
calorific value 39.4


1 start with the gas units used = 219
2 multiply by the multiplier value to convert to cubic metres = ??????
3 multiply by conversion factor
4 multiply by calorific value
5 divide by 3.6 to give the total kilowatt-hours (kWh) used.


Gas first units used 595kWh at 6.214p each
Gas next units used 188kWh at 3.008p each

macman

So approx 2409 kWh. About £91.

Josie64,

eon have changed their online billing a little bit recently. Now, when you put the meter reading in, it updates the balance immediately. You don't have to wait 24 hours for the bill to be produced and the balance to update.

Josie64

2409 -
so the first 595 @ 6.214 = ???
then the rest @ 3.008 = ???

add the two figures together to get the gas bill - have I done it right?

macman

Yes, then add VAT as appropriate (and any standing charges).

wow £91 - but that seems a bit low for a gas bill from november - february and during the cold weather as well, I hope its right though

we've had the heating on from 8am - 10am every day and then again from 6pm till midnight - gas central heating/hot water
