    Its 931 x 11.2 x 3.549 p , divided by 100. Then add your daily standing charges for the quarterly period to arrive at your bill up to the present time.
    Not necessarily as calorific value varies from region to region. Ours changed slightly (upwards) a few months ago, after sticking for ages, but a recent bill will give the correct value for your area.


    Still , the multiplication factor for units to KWh, for most areas, is roughly 11.

    I bet a few people are caught out with these metric meters, thinking the digits are the number of units used.

    There's a large 'm3' on the meter, and it is written that 1 pulse is 10 dm3.
    The bills also explain how they are calculated.

    Being a pensioner, or just old, does not mean being stupid.
