And you are still more expensive, correct?Happy to switch back after 2 years hopping between Bord Gais and Airtricity but frankly Airtricity have my nut done in due to their bingo machine billing regime where they dont bill for months on end despite giving them meter readings on a regular basis, clowns.

Not at all Sizzler, happy to help.

I can confirm for you that we are actually cheaper than Airtricity, if you factor in their higher standing charge.

If we take the 24hr urban tariff as an example (and quoted figures excl. vat), Airtricity are offering a unit price of €0.1213 and a standing charge of €0.285c per day if you sign up to their best price plan (i.e. the Home Electricity Saver).

Now, if you look at our Supersaver price plan (our top offering), the unit price is showing €0.1286, but this does not include the additional 4% for direct debit and 2% for online billing. With these discounts included, the unit price drops to €0.1213, plus you would only have to pay a standing charge of €0.252 per day.

And if you were to sign up to ESB Electric Ireland with both gas and electricity, you would receive a further 3% discount on top of that (as Dual Supersaver customers can avail of 17% off electricity prices, as well as 6% off the regulated gas prices).
