Reading Kwh on imperial meter.

roxy28

Can you tell me if this is correct. Example. Last gas meter reading 05530, next reading 05534, does that equal increase of 40 Kwh or 4 Kwh,
I know it looks like 4 but can you confirm.

Also electric

Example 03320 and 03324 is it the same increase again 4 or 40 Kwh.

Thanks in advance.

Major misunderstanding here: gas meters don't read in kWh, they only read volume. They read in 100's cu ft (imperial), or cu m (metric). Your imperial meter has increased by 4 units ((4 unit of 100 cu ft).
The exact kWh conversion is done at billing and depends on the calorific value, which is not a constant, but for your purposes you just multiply by 32, so giving 129kWh's.
Use this for a quick conversion:

Electricity meters read in kWh, no conversion needed, so 4 units is 4Kwh's. (3324-3320 is 4, not 40).
