Keywords: natural gas, household, conversion factor Abstract Influence of arithmetic averaging method of heat of combustion on errors in gas consumption for households were analyzed in the paper. The analysis uses day degrees method, taking into account real values of the gas conversion factor for several localities. Relative errors of gas consumption compared to the conversion based on the weighted average were determined for annual period. On basis of the analysis carried out, it was found that the relative error of the applied method using the arithmetic mean of heat of combustion is a very low, which makes this method appropriate for use in determining the consumption of natural gas in households.
