Is My Gas Use High Oct 2022 Help Calculate Use & Cost Rates

By Toni Cairns Abstract Distraxtions

Quick work out of usage from meter reading  To find out how many meter units used  New Meter Reading - Old Meter Reading = Meter Units Used  Most gas meters are in m3 units, some are in ft3.  Have a look on your actual meter to find out if it is in m3 or ft3.  If it is in m3, then next we convert m3 into kWh. If it is in ft3 scroll down the page to the next set of calculations.  kWh is kiloWatts per hour sometimes written like kW/h.  On your energy bill you will see your gas bill has a unit price for gas per kWh, and also a gas standing daily charge.   This is why we need to know our gas use in kWh.  This is why we convert from m3 or ft3 into kWh.  Once we know our number of gas kWh use we can calculate it by the unit price  BASIC & QUICK SUM FOR EST GAS COST Find Meter Units Used by taking your old meter reading away from your new meter reading New Meter Reading - Old Meter Reading = Meter Units Used     Gas meters are in m3 or ft3, so we convert this to kWh to calculate our cost.

Tumble driers Question: 30th Sept 2022 How much energy does a tumble drier use per load or cycle? Depends how energy efficient your Tumble drier is? These are what I just found on Currys looking at some models for examples:  Typically quoted by manufacturers is kWh per year based on 160 loads: *Energy efficient A+++  174kWh per yr or 1.08kWh   194kWh per yr or 1.2125kWh  FULL LOAD 1.54kWh is 54p (10Kg) HALF LOAD 0.89kWh is 31p *Energy efficient A++ heat pump 282kWh per yr or 1.7625kWh  FULL LOAD 2.43kWh is 85p (10Kg) HALF LOAD 1.21kWh is 42.4p   *Energy efficient A+   270kWh per yr or 1.6875kWh  *Energy efficient B  Condenser Dryer  670kWh per yr or 4.1875kWh  FULL LOAD 5.7kWh (10Kg) is £1.99 HALF LOAD 3kWh is £1.05p *Energy efficient C  520kWh or 3.25kWh  FULL LOAD 4.49kWh (7Kg) is £1.57 HALF LOAD 2.27kWh is 79.5p Average online mostly says about  4.5kWh per cycle is £1.57 (*See below energy efficiency charts changed in 2021*) Bulb electric rate 1st Oct 2022 is electric per kWh used

How To Reduce Your Energy Bills In the United Kingdom the hike in Energy prices is due to increase by 54% in April 2022, and then may increase a further 20% in Oct 2022, it is going to hit every household hard.  This means if your energy cost is currently for example in Feb 2022 £100 per month, then in April it is set to rise to £154, and then this is likely to rise again in Oct to approx £180!  "On 3 February, Ofgem announced the Default Tariff Cap will rise by 54% from 1 April 2022."  www.commonslibrary.parliament.uk    We have become very accustomed to our luxurious ways of living, so maybe now is the time to become less of a gargantuan consumer.  Question yourself and your everyday ways of living.  Here are some ways to reduce the amount of electricity your household uses.  Ways to a Reduce Electricity Use Switch lights off when not in use, if a room has 2 ceiling lights maybe remove 1 of the bulbs Use LED low watt light bulbs Use more direct ways of lighting areas when r

TVs and Energy Consumption

TVs and Energy Consumption Recently I noticed my bedroom TV was 200W and my living room TV 100W, yet they are about the same size. However, the 100W TV is a newer more energy efficient model. So I thought I would have a look at the energy efficiency of TVs. To reduce energy use  Settings on most newer models can be set to an economical power saving mode & can be set to time off automatically, which is a great way to help save energy.   Screen size and screen resolution have an impact upon how much energy a TV uses.  For example  55" TV on average uses 77W.   32" TV on average uses 32W .  For example  4K 2160p TV typically uses over double the energy of full High Def 1080p TV.   Modern LED TVs are supposed to be the most energy efficient , which makes sense when we know LED light bulbs are energy efficient.   It seems like newer home appliances are becoming more energy efficient but it can sometimes be difficult trying to work out the energy use details.  Calculating
