    Anyone using this? I got a phone call about it from IFA they said 10% off guaranteed for 18 months. Will you end up being stuck in a contract?

    i have been with them all too, avoid airtricity ... bord gais are grand and electric ireland are too. If you choose to leave before the period is up you pay 50 euro severance fee

    usually about €5 to 600 every 2 months in the peak about 250 in the winter


    was with bord gas (ifa) for a few years and got good offer from electric Irl to go so presently with EI

    paperless billing & no hassle with either but don't thin i'd be arsed about changing again

    The real small print is how much per Kwh are you paying.

    Generally when you swithc to a discounted plan it lasts 12 months and the onus is on you to switch yourself when the time comes or else you'll go back up on a higher rate.

    Use www.bonkers.ie to find a plan that most suitable for you.

    Wouldn't be worth that,,,,don't think it's a big cost in dairying
    A dairy farmer beside me is always on about his bill too, then he says it's only half a cent/ltr (think it's a roundabout way of telling how many litres he's selling)
