Hello and welcome back to Niccolo Gas, this is your ultimate guide to reading your gas meter: • For more on this: https://niccolo.co.uk/clients/meter-r... • 0:18 Digital Metric Meter • 0:53 Digital Imperial Meter • 1:27 Dial Meters • 2:37 Smart Meters • How to read your digital metric meter: • The digital or older imperial gas meter is arguably the most common type of gas meter found in UK homes and in terms of reading is pretty straightforward. • To read these types of meters: • Record the five numbers from left to right (including the zeros), but not include the numbers in red or any numbers after the decimal point. • ‘Metric’ refers to the unit of measurement in which the gas is presented. In the case of this meter, the reading is provided in cubic metres (m³). • How to read your digital imperial meter: • This is very similar to a digital metric gas meter, except there are four numbers and the unit of measurement is provided in cubic feet (ft³). • To read these types of meters: • Write down the first 4 numbers from left to right. Ignore the rest of the numbers, shown in red. • Make sure to include the zeros, but disregard the red numbers and the dial on the right. • Dial Meter: • These meters will always measure gas usage in cubic feet (ft³). • If you’re not familiar with these types of meter then on first glance they can appear very confusing to read, but once you’ve got your head around how they work and what each dial is displaying, they’re fairly simple. • Here follows a few rules on how to read a dial gas meter: • Read each dial from left to right, ignoring any dials in red, the large dial and also any that are marked up as “100 per rev” • If the dial hand/pointer is resting between two numbers, always go with the lower number • If the hand/pointer rests between 0 and 9, always go with 9 • After noting down your meter reading, if any of the numbers are stated as 9 you will need to take 1 away from the dial immediately to the left • Pay attention to the way in which the numbers run around the face of the dial, some will run clockwise others counter-clockwise. Generally the first and third dials will run clockwise and the second and fourth will run counter-clockwise. Depending on which way they run, make sure you read the dial accordingly • Smart Meters: • If you have a smart meter in your home or have had any experience with smart meters you should be familiar with usage requirements. • If you don’t have a smart meter then one of the big bonus’s of having one is that you don’t need to submit any readings as the meter iself does that for you by feeding live updates directly to your supplier.
