However I use the fully converted values from my bills, so by dividing the kWh figure by the volume consumption i get a reasonable accurate figure for quick work. My meter is chronologically gifted like me and measures in '000 cu. ft. so i use 31.6 as a multiplier., and so one unit =£3.50 at current prices for me. For the trendy sorts who have meters measuring in cu.mt. i think the conversion factor is approximately 11.
Thanks. I've added the x11 step for a simple correction, but I think going for the sq ft to sq m would be a little too far.
I think its better to ignore the government contribution in working out what a normal DD should be. If the government chip in then the customers DD is reduced- if the government doesn't - what happens next April is anyone's guess at the moment - the then customer pays the full amount.
Customers including the government contribution in their own calculations is causing (unnecessary) confusion
If you want to know how much you should be paying each month, work out your usage, and DEDUCT the £66 the government is paying. That is how much YOU should be paying until next April when the government contribution stops. Then you'll have to put your direct debit up unless your usage drops significantly for the summer, in which case it could stay about the same.
But first, just let's get through this winter. We can worry about next summer a little nearer the time.
