4. Historic Comparison

The Usage Comparison screens graphically display your consumption for each fuel . These 
update throughout the day and can be looked at to easily review your daily usage.

The Historic Comparison screens contain graphs displaying your consumption for Today, 
Yesterday, Last 7 days and the last 12 months*. In each case the screens will show the 
supply type with the appropriate period in the title e.g. 

‘Heat Today’

The arrow on the gauge will move round with each unit consumed. When the arrow 
reaches the middle this indicates that your usage has equalled your 14 day average. When 
the arrow moves past the centre towards 

‘High’ this indicates that your usage today is 

higher than your 14 day average.

Your Average

This screen shows the amount consumed today against 
your daily average use for the last 14 days.
The value above 

‘Todays use’ shows the total number of 

units used today since midnight.
Your 14 day average is shown at the top under

 ‘Your 

Average’ e.g. 20 kWh.

Today

This graph shows a full 24 hour period from 00:00 to 
23:59 for the present day. Each bar shows the amount of 
consumption during any given hour. At the beginning of 
the day this graph will be empty and is updated hourly. 
The number of units is shown on the vertical scale along 
with the unit of measure.

Last 7 Days

This screen shows a rolling weekly comparison. This 
shows the last 7 days of consumption compared with the 
previous 7 days. The lighter bars show the last 7 days, with 
the darker bars behind showing the previous 7 days.

Depending on the type of meter(s) connected to the G6, 
the screens 1A &1B may show some useful information:
SN: 

Serial Number of the meter

Read:  The meter reading 
On, At:  The last time the meter was read by the G6 
Rate:  Tariff Information and daily standing charge

These screens show system specific information for use by Switch2 engineers.

Yesterday

This screen shows the full 24 hour period for the previous 
day. Each bar shows the total consumption during each 
hour of that day. The number of units is shown on the 
vertical scale along with the unit of measure..

Last 12 Months

This screen shows consumption information over the 
last 12 months compared with the previous 12 months. 
The lighter bars represent the last 12 months values, with 
the darker bars behind showing the previous 12 months 
consumption for comparison. E.g. the first column shows 
380 kWhs used last January (lighter bar), compared with 
340kWhs used the previous January (Darker Bars)

*Please note if your G6 is replaced or reprogrammed, all historical 
data will be reset. If your G6 has power disconnected then the values 
for ‘Today’ and ‘Yesterday’ screens will be lost.
