The Conversion Factor Bord Gais uses
We usually check the prices and discounts companies offer when we sign up with the providers for home electricity and Gas. We do not check the conversion factor the companies use to calculate the number of units in your bill. You only see that when you get your first bill. I have recently moved from Energia to Bord Gais. I got my first gas bill from Bord Gais, I was surprised to see that Bord Gais uses a higher conversion factor for calculating the Gas units i.e. 1.458 (which is higher than the conversion factor Energia use). This means for the same amount of usage, Bord Gas sends customers a higher bill showing more units consumed, compared to Energia. I am comparing Bord Gais with Energia because I did not try other providers so far. So I contacted Bord Gais about this they replied, "this is the conversion factor we use. We don’t care what conversion factor other companies use." So guys stay away from Bord Gas. They charge more to the consumers by using a higher conversion factor in their bills.
