English term (edited):
charging you for gas re: home covered by District Heating
Selected
chraging you for gas you haven't used as your home is connected to the District Heating system
re: used like this is a bit of a commercial EN abberration, usuly it means 'with reference to', but here you might understand it better as 'in respect of'.
Your incorrect parsing suggest you may not have understood the structure of the sentence here; certainly, putting the customary : after re. might have made it easier to understand.

Apologies for the glaring typo in my answer headword — it should of course read 'charging'!

: Wouldn't make any sense in the given context, and in EN-GB, one would normally write it as 'rehome' or 're-home'; in any case, 're-house' would be more usual.

rehome is the term used by British Gas for moving to a new home, you can google it.

so it seems the "issue" here is that this house is being charged by B Gas for a supply that doesn't come from them but from a district heating system

: I think actually it means that if they have district heating, they aren't using any gas; 'district heating' usually provides heat (hot water, steam), not actual gas.

yes, it's actually the way I read it. They're paying for something they're not getting. (I got it right in my 5 min note and meant to change heading). But some district heating generation can come from methane and biogas

: Whatever the fuel used for district heating, that fuel isn't delivered to the individual homes and the charge is generally for calories of heat consumed. Input and output temperatures are metered for each home.

I wasn't suggesting that at all! I know how the system works (in general). Just wanted to point out that systems use various fuels to generate the heat/steam or whatever is being pumped/piped to individual homes.
