To convert LNG gallons to therms, you need to know the energy content of the LNG in therms per gallon. Once you have this conversion factor, you multiply the number of LNG gallons by the therms per gallon factor to get the equivalent therms.
A 18,000 BTU heater uses approximately 0.157 therms per hour. This can vary slightly depending on the efficiency of the heater and the specific model.

Your gas pool heater should have a BTU/hr rating for input and output printed on a placard somewhere on the heater. Look for the input rating and divide by 100,000 to get Therms/hr. Assuming your gas is being billed in dollars per Therm, just multiply that rate by your Therms/hr. to get dollars/hour. Multiply this by how many hours you run your gas heater and that's your total pool heater operating cost. Also take in account the time of year temp and wind. If your heating your pool to 78-85 degrees and your pool water is 60 degrees that would be an 18-25 degree temp rise. Your pool is exposed on all sides and this will bleed heat off quickly. It may never achieve the temp desired or not shut down and always call for heat.
The amount of natural gas therms required to boil water depends on the volume of water and the efficiency of the heating system. On average, it takes about 0.12 therms to heat a gallon of water, but this can vary based on factors like starting water temperature and insulation of the heating system.
There are 0.00001 therms in 1 BTU.
110 therms.
divide the number of therms by 10,000 to get mmcf
To convert therms to BTU, you can use the conversion factor: 1 therm = 100,000 BTU. Simply multiply the number of therms by 100,000 to get the equivalent number of BTU.
1 million BTU = 10 Therms
The word deca- means ten, so there are ten therms in a decatherm.
Therms Natural Gas to CCF Natural Gas multiply by 0.9756
