ᐅ Does the heat meter in kWh correspond directly to the gas bill?

Hello everyone,

I have a question about the heat meter.

We live on the upper floor of a single-family house. We have installed a heat meter with two sensors on the upper floor. Our landlord now deducts these kWh directly from the total gas consumption in kWh (as shown on the bill) and says that the remainder is the consumption of the ground floor without a heat meter.

Is this calculation correct? Can these values be directly compared? Thank you very much for your feedback.

Best regards
N

How is that supposed to work? How will the hot water be produced and billed? What about the losses in the boiler?
The apartment on the ground floor also needs a heat meter.

There is a meter for hot water at the water heater. It converts the amount of heat energy needed to raise the water temperature to 65°C (149°F) on a flat-rate basis. These converted kWh are then added to the heat meter, resulting in my total heat consumption. The residual value from the gas consumption in kWh represents the landlord’s share, and the remainder is mine.

However, I somehow feel that apples are being compared to oranges here.

Radiation losses of 9% are subtracted from the total gas consumption; the remaining gas kWh are then used, from which my heat kWh are deducted.

I am not a professional, but I would think that it wouldn't perform any better, provided the heat meter is not completely faulty.
