Gas rate app

[AWheating]

mine works good enough for me. Probably a BG engineer failed internal audit and blamed his iphone LOL.

Or B.G not liking the fact that something without a Britsh Gas logo and overinflated price tag is being used on one of their jobs.

when the bg app comes out it will abort the test halfway and demand the system is powerflushed and a co detector fitted before you get the answer

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

Probably just confuses there engineers these days !

To be fair to them you can't blame them if they don't want their blokes to use it. The laptop has a programme to do it for you. So if they want all their blokes to use that then everyone's gas rate will be as per their own programme and everything confirms to what they want.

If their has been known discrepancies on the iPhone app then you can't blame anyone fr not wanting to use it, especially a firm the size of BG. If they made a mistake using this app then coud you imagine the uproar, so they've banned it and their till getting stick. They can't win either way really.

I personally don't this app I use a calculator. I was toying with paying for the app but this post would be enough for me not to bother.

The calculations will vary region to region according to the calorific value of the gas. Unless you know and use that in your calcs you are working to an approximation.

I have all mine on 2 sheets of paper just cross reference job done.

I was thinking same, how many check bills for correct CV?

 

[tamz]

Very few if any.

No mention of checking the cv of the gas in any text book or reg I have seen. The difference is probably that minimal it has no affect.
