meters ?

i did a test to see how much gas i used in a week , but ive left my npower bill at home and cant recall the sum needed to convert it into the correct way to work out my usage

Can anyone help ?

Cheers

X 2.83
X 1.02264
X 39.1512
Divide By 3.6

If only every week was like this one , 3 units = 4888 Ft Per annum

Note: this is the calorific value and can vary lightly from bill to bill.

Or if you wanted a quick and easy way just multiply the cubic feet by 31.5

Not 100% accurate but quite close and handy if you dont know that calorific value

(also easier to work out if you dont have a calculator)

Your gas meter should record either 100 cubic feet or 1 cubic metre.

The first line of the above equation (i.e. x 2.83) converts 100 cubic feet to a cubic metre

I know what you mean;)

However, for those who might get confused, it is the other way around! i.e. the x 2.83 converts a cubic metre to 100 cubic feet.

As said above the easiest way to calculate is to use 1 unit = approx 31.5kWh for an Imperial(cu ft) meter and 11.1kWh for a Metric meter.

Then it records hundreds of cubic feet. e.g. the numbers that you see on your bill are hundreds of cubic feet.
