Help with meter readings

mrsr

Hi
I'm afraid i havn't got a clue with this so hoping somebody can kindley help me.

I usually use 22kw of gas a week according to Imeasure.
I have just set up my new tariff and its now telling me i have used 4, my usage hasn't changed so would have expected this be the same even if i had entered the new tariff in wrong.

My concern is there may be somthing wrong with meter

Last week was 6780 this week 6784 can somebody take pity on me and tell me how to work it out.:D

4 units of gas per week = 45kwh per week (metric) or 127kwh per week (imperial)

You can play around with your units/kwh calculations here:-

22kwh per week would suggest 2 units per week (metric) were being used according to Imeasure. If this average is throughout the year it could well be correct. Has your useage not increased due to cold weather?

You're welcome.

Try reading your gas meter every day at the same time for a week, then use the link to work out your kwh used.
I live in a large(ish) 3 bed semi and used approximately 0.5 units per day hot water only. Heating is now on and I use approximately 1.3 units per day.

I may be a bit sad (!) but I've kept a record on excel for the past 2+ years - gas and electricity.

As an addition, when looking at new tarifs/suppliers always enter your annual kwh useage rather than your annual spend. HTH
