1. What Is The British Gas Energy Efficiency Calculator?

The British Gas Energy Efficiency Calculator helps you estimate potential savings from improving your energy efficiency. It calculates the monetary savings by comparing your current energy usage with more efficient usage patterns.

2. How Does The Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

\[ \text{Savings} = (\text{Current Usage} - \text{Efficient Usage}) \times \text{Unit Price} \]

Where:

Current Usage — Your current energy consumption in kWh
Efficient Usage — Projected energy consumption after efficiency improvements in kWh
Unit Price — Your energy rate in pence per kWh

Explanation: The formula calculates the difference in energy consumption and multiplies it by your unit price to determine potential savings in British Pounds.

3. Importance Of Energy Efficiency

Details: Improving energy efficiency helps reduce your carbon footprint, lowers energy bills, and contributes to environmental sustainability while maintaining comfort levels in your home.

4. Using The Calculator

Tips: Enter your current energy usage in kWh, your projected efficient usage in kWh, and your current unit price in pence/kWh. All values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

A: The calculations provide an estimate based on your inputs. Actual savings may vary depending on usage patterns and efficiency measures implemented.

Q2: What are typical energy efficiency improvements?
A: Common improvements include LED lighting, insulation upgrades, smart thermostats, energy-efficient appliances, and better heating system maintenance.

Q3: How do I find my current unit price?
A: Your unit price can be found on your energy bill, typically listed in pence per kWh for electricity and gas.

Q4: Can this calculator be used for both electricity and gas?
