Understanding Your Gas Usage Data

Once your meter is running, the app starts building a picture of how your home actually uses gas. It's more useful than it sounds — a few minutes with your charts can make your whole month more predictable.

Reading the daily curve

Most homes show clear peaks around meal times and long flat stretches in between. If your baseline never quite drops to zero, that can hint at a burner not fully closing or a small leak worth checking.

Turning data into a budget

Your weekly average is the number to watch. Multiply it out and you've got a reliable monthly estimate — no more nasty surprises. Cooking for guests or travelling? You'll see the bump or dip immediately and can adjust your top-ups to match.

When you can see your usage, gas stops being a guessing game and becomes just another line you can plan around.
