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

Upload your data to energypal and see what he suggests. What size battery are you getting, how much of your usage outside the 2-6 window would it cover?

for those who need a 24 hour rate, i was helping father in law and 28.10 inc vat is the best i found, with Energia.
standing charge is : € 265.01’inc vat per annum

Used switcher last night to sign up to a 24 hour rate cos im sick of the day/night/peak crap and energia have upped my bill massively now that my 1 year contract expired.

Saw a nice 29.8c/kwh with 9.6c on the gas with Electric Ireland - EnergySaver Dual 14% plan.

Switcher emailed me today saying that plan is not available on my smart meter sorry try again.

About to tear my hair out with how convoluted Switching power provider has become. Not to mention the prices are atrocious now. WTAF?

Ridiculous . Back to square one afterhours of BS comparing incomprehensible plans

I would say a round 60% night just 40% day. For now will get 5kW battery.

"The price for the installation is as follows.

1 Solis S5. RHI % KW Hybrid inverter.

1 Weco 5K3. Lithium ion battery.

1 set of cable and switch gear.

Total including labour €3600.

Less trade in allowance of your existing Solis inverter € 500."

…. or at least "should not" !

Got sorted with FloGas directly who were doing a nearly identical deal to the one bonkers rejected so hopefully this one goes through ok

I downloaded the hdf file from the ESB website but any comparison website kept saying "I must have 1 year data". But there was only 1 download options for the hdf file i couldn't edit the timeframe.

Besides I opened the hdf in excel and there literally was 1 year of data.

All these tarrifs are so confusing. There's dozens upon dozens and when it asks me to select which one ive no idea because my energia bill tarrif just says "electric ".

Please god this flow gas contract works.

Mental stuff how convoluted changing electricity providers has become in recent years.

I'd be wary of using those websites, they don't have every plan on the market. For example I was advised to go on a smart EV plan despite most of my night units being between midnight and 2am. It seems to forget that an EV needs to charge for more than 3 or 4 hours a night as well

Pinergy remove new signups to EV Night TimeTariff

I'm fully willing to learn about the different tarrifs

My comment was about the other poster, not you. I agree with your general point.

Just been on to Flogas as I realised I hadn't had a bill this month.. turns out they had a problem with ESB giving them wrong smart meter readings. After this was rectified, they then had a problem 'their' side.

Anyway I now have 3 electricty bills coming to me next week.. so annoying.. their payment portal is broke also.

Roll on end of year till I'm out of contract.. no even email from them to inform me of the problem..

Putting it out here in case others are in the same boat..

payment portal is working I just paid them a few quid, try a different browser

I had to use duck duck as safari fails to open the pop up

Does anyone know if changing plans with the same provider while in contract will incur a 50eur penalty? Thanks

warning for anyone manually paying with flogas: keep an eye on your next bill and ensure the deducted what you’ve paid manually.

because I done this and they didn’t deduct what I paid manually until I emailed them complaining

They don't put actual meter readings on the bill which I find a bit annoying, my billing period runs from the 18th to 18th or 19th of each month, I wrote down my meter reading this month and I'll check it again next month just to be sure.
