How do I ask the Gas Company?

Question

I am buying a A.C Genset with 239Cfh Natural Gas consumpstion. What & How should I ask the gas company if the gas line outside is property rated. I need to know in BTU rate. What's the formula for this conversion.

Answer 1

It seems you need 239 Cubic feet per hour. Each CF produces (approx.) 1000 BTU.
Therefore you need 239000 BTU/Hr = 239 MBH.
However, gas company knows all these formula and you can simply ask for 239 CF/Hr.
