Converting energy meter readings

or 27

Also, most imperial meters read in hundreds of ft^3

Presume they bill using a monthly/quarterly average?

Duh. 3^3 is 27, not 9. Whoops!

The last 3 energy companies I have used have the yearly kWh estimates seperate for gas/electric, this info is available from your Bill. The estimates are reasonably accurate and unlikely to alter the kWh pricing.

I've been with OVO for about 6 years. They were no help telling me what I have used in kWH and their online website and/or chatline are singularly unhelpful. They wanted to up my bill by ~30% I've jumped ship as I have no leaving fee to pay AND they owe me about £200

All the various conversions are described here:

I was with Ovo a couple of years back and then they had an estimate on the bill for kWh usage, at that time I found them ok but switched for cheaper fuel costs.

When you leave a utility company they will generally continue to take your dd until the final bill is finalised this can take up to 6 weeks as the readings have to be verified by a 3rd party as dictated by Ofgem. I know it is a pain but you wont pay for the same fuel twice, it does balance out.

Upping the dd payment is normally irrelevent as it is linked to your usage (based on average consumption) it is the overall package that counts ie cost per kWh and daily charge.
