    Ah right, oops! What’s the difference between them both? 
    Alternatively, Watts tell you the level of consumption at any one point in time (think of the rate at which a hose is filling a pool). kWh (or Watt hours for smaller volumes) equate to the amount of water in the  pool.
    So how do my numbers translate to cost based on the prices I’ve said and what I’ve used?

    Electricity: Number of kWh used multiplied by the cost per kWh, plus the daily standing charges.
    Gas: As above, except that you have to start by converting the volume in m3 to kWh.  This site will do it for you.
