Gas rate app

[Doodlebug]

British Gas engineers are being advised not to use gas rate apps as tests have shown them to be inaccurate and unreliable.

When i had my gassafe inspection not long since, he asked me why when i had an i-phone i wasn't using an app. for this. I replied that i had it but thought he would want to see me work it out to which he replied , use the app !!!

This is fresh news briefed today, British Gas have instructed the whole workforce not to use any gas rate apps, we have had to sign to say we have had the brief.

I had same brief a month or so ago.
I have compared the apps, to BG's computer and also manual calcs and there is a difference between all, but nothing more than 5% or so.

but it's just a stopwatch and a calculator in one how can they possibly get it wrong, and if they did it would be wrong every time rather than here or there.

Gas rating is hardly an exact science anyway especially with these new card meters that you have to push buttons and wait etc, as long as you are in the ball park area your fine! 5% above and 10% below isn't it?

All I know is we have been told they are immaculate and can't be relied on.

Meant inaccurate lol

I believe it is BG just trying to standardise the process for itself by making sure all its engineers use the laptop.
The G/R calculation process by any means is not an exact science.

I think BG are going to bring out their own app

None of the current apps have actually been passed as ok to use
