How to read your gas meter
Digital meters
To read a digital type meter, use only the white figures.
Ignore any numbers in red.
Ignore any numbers after a decimal point.
The meter reading in the example is 6653 (hundreds of cubic feet).
Dial or 'clock' type meters
When reading your dial meter, always remember that dials next to each other revolve in opposite directions.
Ignore the dials marked 100 per rev and the large dial. Ignore the red dials. Read the other dials from left to right and write down the number that the hand has passed.
This meter reads 6653.
Note - If the pointer is between two figures, write down the lower number. However, if the pointer is between 9 and 0, write down 9.
You will now need to subtract your previous reading from your present reading to work out the number of cubic feet of gas used.
