but when we singed for that fixed rate we were informed that a pass through charge was coming in October so people were aware and it wasn’t a surprise 👍

Yuno sign up process: I've failed the initial payment 3 times on their side, despite authorising the transaction in the app. I'm not sure what's wrong. It's a complicated and annoying way forward. I hope, it'll be worth the e350 cash back.

are you using a disposable card? They likely won’t allow that as it’s a card for recurring payments that’s required.

padyjoe

No, it's a debit card, with a current account.

I switched to yuno on Friday. The app still shows no readings even though I've a smart meter - is this normal and it takes a few are to process in the background?

Could someone please let me know the answer to this from experience as getting mixed answers. Am with Energia and in contract aswell as mid billing cycle. If I move to another provider will I still get the discounted for the partial bill I get? I know I'll get the €50 charge, but keep on getting the run around when asking if I'll get mu usual unit rate since breaking contract.

wassie

Yes. No issues with my final bill issued (I was only 5 months into Energia contract).

Yes, you still get your discounted rates.

Any one signed up with Yuno using other than Mastercard?
I've encountered a strange problem: app confirmation goes through, then comes up as failed on their side. This is after 4 different cards.

What bank? Many of the energy, utility companies have legacy systems that only accept traditional Irish bank accounts, IBAN

padyjoe

No, no account or IBAN at play in this case, no direct debit at all! You have to pay by a card first to sign up with Yuno, and after that they will get everything paid by your card. EBS, BOI to name few and 1 more fintech card(all Mastercard), all have failed, after been approved by app SCA.

It's a huge PITA, DD is much easier to set up.

Don't know if this is the place but can anyone tell me where is best place to get solar panels for the best price?

If this is not the place to ask is there a forum to ask this?

ongarite

Look for the renewable energy forum

Strange, I signed up with N26 MasterCard on Friday with no payment issues

How did you do it? I'm going through Switcher.ie. This might be the problem.
I've tried 4 different MasterCards, nothing works.

Thanks!

user060916

Went through switcher.ie as well.

Got a missed phone call, called them back, gave them the card number, got a push notification, approved it and that was that

It's been solved somehow, there is a glitch on their side.

Airtricity sales rep called to the door. Offer was:
24hr rate, fixed price for 12 months, DD, eBill
elec = 22.6c (24.63c incl VAT) per kWh, standing charge €230+VAT
gas = 6.79c (7.4 inc VAT) per kWh, standing charge €135+VAT
FIT rate 19.5c

It's better than my Black Friday 2024 Energia rates… (even before the recent ~11% elec price hike).
What do people think?

I'm on a non-activated smart meter.

floras similar for gas and 22.56c for electric inc vat

Has anyone on the Flogas BWG plan managed to switch to the Flogas new customer fixed dual fuel plan?

Paying 23.22 for electricity & 7.61 for gas (ex VAT) vs 22.10 & 6.80 on offer for 12 months fixed.

I know I'm fixed and in a contract until September next year so no benefit to them to allow it.

Based on my usage would save the guts of €80.

flogas website upgrade seems to be taking longer than expected, I can’t log into my account to top it up

I feel a bit miffed compared to other Energia customers on here 🙂.

I left mid contract a few days due to their price increase and went to the fixed (not BWG) Flogas tariff.

I had half-expected a call or email from the Energia retention team like others on here had reported getting but not a sausage. I'm a heavy user of electricity with a heatpump and two EVs but also have a large solar array and export about 5 MWh every year.

I have definitely been ported to Flogas as my MPRN has been moved on ESBN.

All I got was a 'why did you leave?' survey email, which I obviously didn't fill out

billyhead

Does Flogas offer the best rate for electricity use only? We wouldn't be heavy users. Bill currently averages between 80-90 every 2 months.

use energypal.ie and other price comparison websites to see what the best option for you, some companies are offering cash back offers for new customers
