How much gas are you using right now?

Just worked ours out - average 62kw per day during December. November averaged at 21kw pd. We've already used the same we used for the whole of November. Heating was set to around 18.3c, so just turned down to 17.9c to try and reduce a bit.

Looks like our credit is going to get hammered this month, at least we're lucky to have it to fall back on.

How do you know your kw of gas?
Mine is in m3 on the octopus account

About the same. We have a lot of credit built up so hopefully that will cover it.

If you go on app it should show you. But multiply by 11.2 for a rough idea.

Also there might be a Sarah's mode toggle on your gas usage that will show you the KWh amount.

YouFilthyAnimal Interesting to hear Octopus don't make it clear as we're with Bulb and transferring this month.

As said above, it's roughly 11.2xeach m2.

Seems complicated, but this is how Bulb and our previous energy company calculate:

Volume conversion factor x 1.00
Metric units = 56
Volume correction x 1.02264
Calorific value x 39.0
Convert to kWh ÷ 3.6
