Convert ccf to therm

Answer 1

conversion of CCF's to Therms.

Example:


125 CCF's X 1.024 (therm factor) = 128.0 Therms


Multiply the CCF's by 1.024 and your result is therms.




to convert CCF rates to Therms
Divide the CCF price by 1.024 and the result is the therms price
Example,
$0.4438/ 1.024 = $.04334

CCF : 100 Cubit Feet

Thermal Factor: The number of Therms per CCF (Therm/CCF).

Therm = 100,000 BTU, appx 29.3 KWatt Hours

Thermal Factors used by fuel companies generally vary between 102% and 103%. These can vary due to fuel quality, temperature, fuel line pressure, etc.

Thermal Factor is not a constant. It is (theoretically) calculated by your supplier and provided on your bill as a conversion from your meter reading to the number used for billing.

Fuel meters are usually read in an integer format. Therms are generally reported in an integer format, either from round off or round up. If your fuel supplier rounds off your Therms:

- below (1+int((1/(Thermal Factor-1)/2)) CCF, you get some gas for free.
- from about (1+int((1/(Thermal Factor-1)/2)) CCF to (1+int((1/(Thermal Factor-1))) CCF you pay a little extra.
- if you're heating you home in the winter, just extend the pattern.

If your fuel supplier just rounds up your Therms ... let's simply say he's ripping you off just a little each month.
