Things to consider
Everyone’s situation is different, so when weighing up which supplier to switch to, it's important to consider a few things to ensure you get the right plan for your household.
- Smart Meter Tariffs
A smart tariff charges different rates at different times throughout the day or week.
For some people, this option could be cheaper than a regular tariff.
Learn more - Microgeneration
If you have solar panels, you can potentially sell the surplus electricity you generate.
Different suppliers offer different buy-back rates, so it’s worth factoring this into your choice of supplier.
Learn more - Fixed vs Variable
Most tariffs available in Ireland are variable, meaning prices can decrease or increase throughout the year.
However, some providers offer fixed tariffs, allowing you to pay the same rate throughout the year.
- Customer service
Before signing up to a new supplier, it may be worth researching its customer service track record.
This information is available on the Commission for Regulation of Utilities’ (CRU) website.
- Single or Dual Fuel
Choosing duel fuel means you’ll switch to one supplier for gas and electricity, simplifying the process.
It’s also possible to switch your gas and electricity to two different suppliers to avail of separate offers.
- Loyalty & Reward Schemes
Some energy suppliers have partnered with other household names to offer perks to their customers.
These rewards can range from money off your bill to discounts and upgrades.
Cooling off period
You can cancel your new plan within 14 days from the day your switch or new connection was fully completed.
This is known as the cooling off period and gives you the right to change your mind without incurring any cancellation charges.
