💡 Practical Example
A typical home using 80 Therms of gas in January with an 80% AFUE furnace pays $123.00, delivering 64.0 Therms of usable indoor heat while exhausting 16.0 Therms in flue losses.
📖 About Natural Gas
Natural Gas Energy Metrology & US EIA Standards
Natural gas is measured either by volume (cubic feet) or thermal energy content:
- 1 Therm: 100,000 Btu = 0.100 MMBtu = 29.3071 kWh = 105.5 MJ
- 1 CCF (Centum Cubic Feet): 100 Cubic Feet ≈ 1.037 Therms = 103,700 Btu
- 1 MCF (Mille Cubic Feet): 1,000 Cubic Feet ≈ 10.37 Therms = 1.037 MMBtu
- 1 MMBtu: 1,000,000 Btu = 10.00 Therms
- 1 Cubic Meter (m^3): ≈ 35.315 cu ft ≈ 0.3662 Therms = 10.73 kWh
Furnace AFUE Heating Efficiency Ratings
- 80% AFUE: Standard non-condensing gas furnace (wastes 20¢ of every gas dollar)
- 90% AFUE: Minimum Energy Star condensing furnace
- 96% AFUE: High-efficiency two-stage condensing furnace (wastes only 4¢ per dollar)
Equations
- Monthly Bill () = Customer Base Fee () + (Gas Consumed × Rate per Unit)
- Useful Heat Delivered = Total Therms × AFUE
- Carbon Emissions (kg CO_2) = Therms × 5.30
How to Use This Calculator
Enter your Monthly Gas Consumption Quantity (e.g. 80.0), Meter Billing Unit Standard — choose from Therms (100,000 Btu / US Standard Utility Meter), CCF (100 Cubic Feet / ~1.037 Therms), MCF (1,000 Cubic Feet / ~10.37 Therms), Gas Supply & Delivery Rate ( / Therm or Unit) (e.g. 1.35 in /unit), Monthly Fixed Customer Service Fee () (e.g. 15.00 in ), and Heating Appliance AFUE Efficiency — choose from 80% AFUE (Standard Non-Condensing Furnace), 70% AFUE (Older Legacy Gas Boiler / Furnace), 90% AFUE (Mid-Efficiency Condensing Furnace). Results update instantly as you type — adjust any value to compare scenarios.
The Formula
Conversion factors used in this calculator:
1 Therm = 100,000 Btu
1 CCF = 1.037 Therms
1 MCF = 10.37 Therms
1 MMBtu = 10.0 Therms
1 m3 = 0.3662 Therms (35.315 cu ft)
1 kWh = 0.0341214 Therms (1 Therm
