Switching electric/gas providers (see first post for links)

Thanks, will check their consumption and work that out. The folks are convinced its the best value because they track their spend easier.

Just a word of caution regarding your last sentence, if the bill has been compiled and issued and it's for say €75 that €75 will be taken from your bank even if you made manual payments afterwards, the payments will go towards the next billing period. Just something to be aware of.

A general rule around direct debits.Ideal to donate e20 a week to the account to build up a credit against a bill.

On previous page(mobile), The Driver said she was offered 25% this year.

Are you close to end of contract?

Only 18% shows on my account, ending 21/10.

at what stage do you get a call?

my BGE contract is ending on 10/10. i was on 25% discount on both.

gas-7.69c before vat

electricity - day - 26.655 cents night - 19.59 cent; peak - 32.565 cent before vat

renewal offer is 15%

should i call cancellation to get the discount call?

Was on 39%, called them, they offered me the standard 24%. 🤨

Switched to Energia, BG offered me 25%. 😏

Staying with Energia (unless I get a good BG offer in the next 8 days). 😁

BGE are taking the piss. On their public website, they list their offer for existing customers as 24% off electricity (or for dual fuel, 25% electricity and 20% gas).

But if you sign into your account, you'll get offered only 18% off electricity. And apparently, if you switch you'll get a so-called retention offer of … 24% off.

So, if you intend to stay with them, just use their website - not your account - to get 24% off. But you should probably switch anyway, there's almost certainly a better new customer offer for your usage from one of the other suppliers.

You can if you're on a 24hr plan with a non smart meter or an unactivated smart meter, don't ring them just use the apply now button.

This is probbaly asked loads of times on this thread but couldn’t find it..

When should I switch? My BGE contract ends on October 1st, if I change before then do I risk paying an early termination fee?
went through most of the steps on the Energis website and wasn’t asked for a commencement date so imagine it happens immediately.

They're offering new customers 33% off Electricity now. I can never figure out why a new customer is more valuable than the ones you have to a business, unless most customers tend not to leave for a better deal.

EI has 28% discount on contract renewals currently.

Im still on the Flogas Community plan since renewing it in March. Decided to take a look at Bonkers to see if there is anything better out there as my contract hits the 6 month period. And the best there on Bonkers is SSE who are slightly higher than Im currently paying, they are almost 15 cents for the night rate while Im currently paying 12.5 cent. The standing charge is €309 which is also more than Im currently paying.

I see Energia also have a 38% off deal on but that is 26 cent day units and 12.4 cent night rates so basically the same as Im paying now. They had emailed me last week trying to get me to switch back to them but not much point for tiny savings.

So it doesnt look like I'll be switching out of that Flogas plan early, there are no real savings to be had right now from what I can see.

I know people with EI who accepted e50 to stay and were delighted with it.They couldn't be told anything different,not listening.
