HOW TO READ YOUR BILL
From the early days, gas utilities measured and sold gas by volume. Most gas meters have 4 digits, the smallest of which shows 100 cubic feet, or one CCF.
All fuel prices increased dramatically in the 1970’s. Many gas pipelines and utilities switched to selling gas on the basis of heating value. One British Thermal Unit (or BTU) is the amount of heat needed to raise one pound (pint) of water by 1° F. One BTU is about the energy produced by burning a wooden match.
An electrical meter shows kilowatt-hours but there isn’t a practical way to directly measure the potential energy of gas. Gas utilities measure volume and calculate heating value.
