    Already with SSE. I suppose I haven't a hope in hell of getting the freebies?

    Have Climote now for 3 years, in two different houses.

    No issues with it at all. Works perfect. Had one small problem and the support desk sorted really quickly.

    Only figured out the other week I can integrate with Alexa so that is handy as well.......

    I originally got as part of SSE deal and they come and install. You get the first year free. Second year then is 19 euro for the SIM. You can buy a multi year deal for less, I think 39 for 3 years.....

    They seem to be working on updates all the time. Can't complain.....

    If getting installed ask for the wireless thermostat to install into room, you can move around house. It is handy

    I presume someone could sign up to airtricity get the deal then leave early and pay €50 break fee?

    Electric Ireland are offering €150 cash back on an electric switch if anyone is interested.

    I can say I didn’t like Airtricity either and always had big bills with them. (I was in a different house to be fair). With Energia now and so far so good.

    Do people check their rates to know for sure what's cheapest?
    Bonkers.ie is good.

    You'll get high bill with high usage no matter who you're with. You may have to investigate heating use / larger appliances etc...

    So long as you keep changing each year, you'll most likely be saving.

    If you ring and tell the company you are with they can match the rates sometimes.....so worth getting best rate and puttin a call in

    Just had engineer out. Live in the middle if Dublin, yet sim cant get decent connection. So couldn't install it.

    Would I be able to end my contract with SSE or move to a different bill structure?

    What's involved in the installation? Just got a new boiler and don't want to cause any hassles with it

    It takes no more the 30 minuets, you have to have an external timer for your boiler, they take a picture of it and replace it with the climote. They came to fit mine a few weeks and I only had the internal timer so wouldn't do it, got a cheap external one installed and they came back to fit it, working great no problems.

    This deal is still on. How much is the Echo, Echo Spot & Climote worth? The other Airtricity switching offer is a €270 credit.

    Ah two months ago. It takes up to two months for climote to even contact you.
