    4 different a/c's (don't ask but that's the way it is)

    2 with Bord Gais , like you the discount is gone but still happy enough

    2 with ESB
    one a house we have rented out, the tenants pay the bill so it doesn't matter to us , in reality I suppose it's not ours

    the other is a meterless supply for an electric fencer and only comes to €30 per year.

    I'm with esb, main reason is; no direct debit, I only pay them about twice a year when they send out 7 day notice in desperation.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    Did you have to pay the 300e for no direct debit??

    Not yet anyway, but haven't moved from them or got a new connection yet.

    what way does this work coz it sounds like a good job. I ask coz i have a out farm with no water on it and didnt want to get a connection coz i though it would be biig enough money for the bills, instead they just drink out of the river

    we have it about 15 years, I think the esb charged about 450 to connect and I gave an electrician a couple of hundred more to install a socket and trip switches and supply a cert.

    The esb also installed a locked control box with a low amp fuse so basically if you plug anything stronger than a fencer or similar you will blow the fuse

    I think it costs €5.50 every 2 months
