Help reading these meters

jenand8285

Hi,


I was hoping someone could help me read these meters so I can begin comparing tariffs.

My last reading in October was 8830 so by my calculations I have used 192 kwh. Can anyone confirm that is the correct number of kwh?




I am not sure how to read this meter. My last reading was 49079 in October. Does that mean I have used 926 kwh?





Many thanks for any help.

Your gas meter reads in 100 cubic feet.

So, since your last reading you have used 19,200 cubic feet, which is about 5800 kWh. The conversion factor from cubic feet to kWh is about 30 kWh per 100 Cu feet, but this varies (because gas is a natural product), and a more accurate calculation will be given on your bill.

You are correct about the electricity.

think you are wrong here.

The gas meter reads in cubic feet, so 192 cubic feet used, then do the conversion.

Have a look here to help.

No, it is 192 hundreds of cubic feet. And it is about 5,800 (an underestimate - 32 is a better figure to use) so more like 6,150.

(Although, to be fair, and to avoid confusion, it is probably best to ignore that an imperial meter unit is one-hundred cubic feet. Correctness only needs to be applied if someone suddenly notices - why is a cubic metre only three times as big as a cubic foot?)

It's not its about 35 times.
1 cu.m = 3.25ft x 3.25ft x 3.25ft = 35 cu.ft

The OP must be wishing he had not bothered asking a perfectly sensible question :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
