Hi,
I'd appreciate some help. I recently received two bills as 1 person in a 1 bedroom apartment using gas for only heated water and cooking that were both $150+ for a month of use. Both bills had my usage as 2600MJ. It is extremely difficult to imagine I have used this much as 1 person especially when I am seeing online that 3-5 people households are averaging 30-50MJ of daily use (my average daily use has been recorded as 160+ MJ).
I noticed this usage is due to my hot water meter reading and it being calculated with a multiplier of x10 on the bill (260 units is multiplied by 10 equalling 2600MJ).
However, from what I can see online, a x10 multiplier is used to convert decalitres. My hot water meter is measured in kilolitres (kL), not decalitres. Therefore, I think the x10 multiplier is being incorrectly used in this case. Could this be confirmed?
My hot water meter reading is measured in kilolitres, and I am in an apartment with centralised gas heated hot water.
I believe my usage is being incorrectly calculated with a multiplier of 10, as my meter is not measured by cubic metres or decalitres, but is instead measured in kilolitres. Otherwise I fail to see how I'm using 2600+ MJ a month as 1 person. I don't use a lot of hot water, I take short showers and do not use a dishwasher and only wash clothes with cold water.
Thanks
