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

Here it is

Yuno! any reviews on them? They are coming up cheapest for me. They are not offering a discount though and with prices going up. That's not a good thing.

SSE are my 2nd. Customer service is so bad I could never use them again.

Which overall is the best technology wise in terms or visibility over usage and apps etc?

Currently with Energia.

the bwg staff deal is for standard or smart so it will be whichever plan then select on sign up, there should be no forced activation of a smart meter if they select standard plan

Loads of reviews for yuno online 👍

All the providers are great until something goes wrong and then they are all rubbish tbh

Thanks for that. Did they increase their prices recently?

I had a quick look at their website and I'm wondering if the prices shown are the figures including the increase?

I am in the same boat. I am gonna wait until the 14 days cooling period to be over, then use the BG's generous clause to allow people to break out of contract for free due to the price increase (See the price increase email). Then I'll move to EI. You can do the same too.

the deal with flogas and bwg is for a certain quota of people rather than a timeframe, if you instigate a switch before your out if contract there’s a risk of paying €50 penalty, if it was me I would wait until the 9th of October

from my understanding the quota is huge and bwg are not even pushing it with their staff and it’s like a state secret trying to even get info about it from management

So as previously mentioned recently signed up with BGE Dualfuel on 22nd of August, I take it I can walk away from both sides of the contract for electricity and gas with that email stating "you have the right to terminate your contract within 30 days"

Juat not sure about the changing once every 20 days with the Electricity network and when that starts from although i did get a letter from them a few weeks ago about the switch so maybe from then .

Sign up it in your spouse's name?

So after doing my sums on energypal I split my gas and electricity. EI for electricity and Flogas for gas. By my calculations, even if EI increase prices in the Spring it'll still be marginally the best option when the €100 sign up bonus is taken into account.

I ignored Yuno as their billing system is nonsense.

Very , why i went with EI plan instead. For smart electricity rates similar to bwg standing charge 100 less.
