Welcome to the Integrys Energy Natural Gas Appliance Calculator. You can use this tool to determine the approximate energy usage and cost of most major natural gas appliances.
Natural Gas is measured in Therms or BTUs. A therm is a measurement of the amount of heat energy in natural gas, equal to 100,000 BTUs. A BTU, or British Thermal Unit, is the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. This calculator is based on $1.00 per therm. If you would like to change the rate used in the calculations above, enter a new rate below.
Cost to Operate = usage (hours or load) x (BTUs/100,000) x price per therm orCost to Operate = usage (hours or load) x therms x price per therm
