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

Who told you that you didn't have to do meter readings?

The person on the phone when trying to book the installation of the smart meters told me. That I dont have to do readings going forward. I dont mind doing readings as it only takes 2 minutes. I am out of contract! I was going to leave them in March because of the bad advise I got from them (telling me to cancel my budget plan and pay as I go) But then it was meant to be sorted and here we are again still not! Everytime I ring Im getting different advice.

Like rang Monday. Chap told me reason why my bill was so dear was because its bi monthly. I told him it shouldnt be as I should be back on budget plan which is monthly. He said yeah I can see its set up but hasnt been activated. To do a meter reading on the Gas as the bill was estimated(no need for electric as they can see that). Ring back next day and he'll activated the budget plan grand. Do that, ring back 2 days later as forgot and I am told no have to get bill under €500 to activate budget plan. Explained its coming out the 20th by DD. That my bill should of came out last month and I if it did I wouldnt have owed so much this month and its their misake.

You get me? Its just around and round in circles and the chap on Monday even left notes on my account ffs…

I rang them again cause it's annoying so much still no where! I was out of contact last Oct 25. Agreed to new one 10th of April gone providing i go on budget plan. Which should of started last month. But they didnt and why I owe 2 months now and won't put me on budget plan until I clear what I owe to get it under €500, eventhoughthat will come out by DD on the 20th. So I told them im going to pay what I owe cancel my DD then change provider and if they look for a cancellation fee I'll see them in court as they broke the contract not me.

I've heard of regulator but dont really know what they are.

Signed up with pinergy last night, how long before there rates kick in?

does anyone know for a smart day/night meter is the night rate hours 11pm-8am all year around or does it change to 12am to 9am at some point in the year?

2300-0800 year round. I made that error recently - Grrrrr!

errrrr no, thanks to trump

You might want to contact them. They've offered me a renewal at last years rate.

probably not fixed, they no longer do any fixed plans I’ve been told

As I haven't done so in years, I'm looking at switching both electricity and gas, I assume moving both to one provider makes most sense? I want a 24 hour rate.

According to switcher there's nothing really that will make MAJOR savings, the best by far is Yuno 1 Year Dual Fuel Plan Variable which would save me €173.67.

Looking back at previous few pages here there is talk of them being a nightmare? What could go wrong?

Exactly, prepay with access to your bank account, what could possibly go wrong 😕

Did they refund you the difference?

Turns out I'm not the only one - Yuno employee in advertorial says same

“I have a day/night meter and I wanted my immersion to come on at 7am, the last hour of the night-time rate, when it’s cheaper. But because I hadn’t updated the timer clock, it was coming on at 8am. I personally saved a lot just by that one simple change.” Yuno advert
