CHANGING ELECTRICITY SUPPLIER
Changing electricity supplier is comparatively easy as long as you
follow the instructions on the EnergyCustomers.ie website. Please see this
link for more information We have also listed a few important
points below, although this list is not comprehensive and you should refer to The EnergyCustomers.ie website for
more information.
-
Changing supplier is free & there is no charge for
this service
-
Estimate your existing consumption
(units or kWh) per year from last year’s bills
-
Compare the
amount of electricity you used last year (over 12 months) with the costs per unit/kWh that are
advertised
-
Also remember to
add in an extra amount if there has been a price increase in your electricity over the last 12
months if you are using last year's comsumption figures and bills.
-
Different tariffs
will apply to different usage rates, different types of customer, or how you pay your bill. Domestic
customers pay different tariffs than businesses
-
Some suppliers
offer discounts to customers who decide to get their bills online- this is OK but it then means that
you would no longer receive bills in the post and it would be your own responsibility to check your
bills on the internet and to make sure that you pay them on time. This is obvious but do not sign
up for online billing unless you can access the internet reliably and regularly when you need to, to
check and pay your bills.
