I'm on a 28% electricity and 30% gas affinity rate with BGE

Electricity
17.27 standard unit = 12.4344
38.41 fault charge = 27.66

Gas
5.39 standard unit = 3.773c
23.79 daily charge = 16.65c

Not much point in me moving anyway

I signed up to Energia last week because they had the biggest discount (about 35% and 34% off gas and electricity) but I didn't use a promo code. Does that give you an added discount?

JTMan

Promo CHEAPESTFUEL seems to give a 36% discount on electricity.

Tar.Aldarion

Energia's own site have a 40% off code.

Millem

I switched maybe 2 weeks ago. Flogas for gas and electric ireland for electricity (bonkers.ie exclusive deal).
Both seemed the cheapest.

Mantis Toboggan

Not sure what deal I'm on but I'm only paying 13 cent a kw with energia.

audi02

Just looking at energia... so the 24hr standard works out at 0.1451 all day long. Yet the night storage works out 0.1451 by day and 0.0748 by night and then the day/night rate is dearer than this @ 0.1591 by day and 0.0762 . My question is what is the "night storage"?? Whats different about this from the "day/night" that it makes it so much cheaper than "day/night "??

Edit to say Ive just realised theres different kind of meters oops!

I presume that's meant for people with storage heaters. They store heat at night and release it during the day.

So can anyone not join this plan as it seems cheaper?

joeysoap

My contract is up. I phoned my supplier, Energia, and the lady quoted me 18.14 cents a unit. I declined her offer and was then offered 16.11. which I accepted. I notice the full Energia rate is now 19.98 up 1c from my last bill.(excl vat 22.68 with vat ) the 16.11 includes vat, (14.19 excl vat)

1,000 clubcard points = about 10 EUR so not a big factor.
Where do you see the 200 EUR offer? Is that 200 EUR cashback?

Not sure if still talking OBS/BGE/Energia etc.. but EI have 200€ cashback, where 200€ credit is applied on the account - not hard cash.

200 credit yes

faolteam

200 credit yes

faolteam

Yes it's a counter offer €200 credit do u think it's a better offer than energia now

I took Bord Gais credit of €250 about 3 months ago. Stayed on but not in a contract. Fully intend to switch to Energia as I had planned originally. Since October 18 Bord Gais have increased there rates from 16.22 to 17.27 and now finally 18.05. So happy to leave

Tar.Aldarion

When i was leaving they offered me 5% off. Said sorry it's 40% with Energia. They don't try and be competitive with people that are already customers are all it seems, so it's always just hopping every year

savemejebus

Is this just the hive hub (with bulbs and sensors) but without the actual heating controls?

torrevieja

I got the same Phone Call as foalteam,
Could someone tell me which they would go for please i was with Bord Gais but i decided to change to Energia, So today i got a phone call from Bord Gais offering me the following : we can offer you a credit of €200.00 and 1000 Tesco club card points. We are also offering you the below unit rates with level pay and paperless billing applied to your gas and electricity accounts;

Yes, anyone can join but only the electricity that is used to power storage heaters will be charged at the low rate. All other appliances - kettle, washing machine, etc. - will be charged at the normal rate. The storage heaters will be wired differently.

To get the low rate for other appliances you need to be on the "day/night" plan. For this you will pay a slightly higher day rate and a significantly higher annual standing charge. It is only worthwhile if a significant percentage of your electricity usage is at night time - > 30% if memory serves.

Would like to know this too, advertising just the hub along with a couple of bulbs and motion sensor but without the thermostat and receiver?

What is the Annual standing charges with Gas and Electric it seems to me that this Price can differ greatly from different companies?

Sure does.
SSE sales rep called to house and offered me, sun, moon and stars to switch.
Went through the figures and despite having been told it would be cheapest out there, the standing charges were high.
Standing Charge with SSE Electricity 43.64c per day (EX Vat) €180 per year (Vat included), Gas 27.90c per day (Ex VAT) & €115.60 per year (including VAT).

Electric Ireland SC 38.82c per day (Ex VAT) & Bord Gais SC 23.70c per day.

I have prepay meters for both gas and electric which suited us when money was tight and was easier to control spending. I'm looking to go back to direct debit so meters will have to be changed. Do companies charge to change meters when switching.
I made the biggest mistake last year by going with prepay power from electric Ireland smarter payg.

200 Euro for gas to be changed and should be free for electricity.

I've been with Electric Ireland for the last few years for gas/electricity, primarily due to their Equaliser plan which has an agreed fixed rate per month based on average usage regardless of the bill. With the warmer summer/autumn months I find it generally leaves me in credit by the end.
I much prefer this known amount coming from my account each month rather than "bill shock" or potential DD screw-ups for hundreds of Euro.

Do the rest of these companies offer the same terms or is it the standard DD/billing arrangements?

CitizenFloor

Most do, yea.

Bord Gais is called leval pay. Energia and Airtricity have something too....but I can't remember the names. I always use it for the same reasons you outlined.

Why don’t you go for the best rate you can find and then

A) if it’s SSE pay an amount each month using the card they provide (swipe card). Say you make 12 equal payments, you have equaled out summer and winter yourself. You still have to sign up for direct debit but in effect you might never have to use it. Payments via An Post.

if it’s Energia just make a payment each month from your current account and similar to SSE if you ‘ get ahead’ you might never have to pay by direct debit ( you’ll still have to sign up, but if you pay 12 monthly amounts you’ve effectively equalized the bills)

Word of warning: don’t make payments 11 and 12 ( but keep the money ring fenced ) in order to change suppliers more easy) The ten payments should mean a very small final bill if you do change.

I assume you can do similar with EI.

Gerlad

Be warned - Bord Gais adjust your level pay even early in the year to reflect your winter monthly usage which defeats the whole purpose of having a fixed payment every month.
