Thread: Natural Gas price NSW

Ring around and ask for a better deal, watch for the "fine print" though, Regards Frank.

Seemed like a lot so I did a test to see what gas we used in one hour with the Gas heater (Flued Gas log fire) on a low setting.
Usage was 0.7 Cu Meters.
So if I understand this correctly to get the MJ per hour I need to do the following.

Cubic Meters x Heating value x Pressure factor

0.7 x 38.15 x 0.98 = 26.1 MJ

26.1 x 3.724 (cents per MJ) = 97 cents per hour.

I'm currently with Origin energy and wondering if anyone is getting a better price than 3.724 c/MJ and a supply charge of 51.60 c/day.

Found an old bill from 2001 the other day 1.1 c/MJ

If it didnt heat so well,, and cook so well,,
after 5 years of bills in Toowoomba using it for hot water, heating and cooking I'm of the opinion I wouldnt chase it--
