Cheapest Electricity

Jakub25

I used to be in Board Gas, and after 1year decided to sign to Artricity.
I used to have bills around 100-130E (board gas) before increase.
Now I have 200E and thinking about back to board gas.

Is it good steep?

Look at the number of units you used. The Airtricity rate is cheaper but you used nearly twice as many units on the previous bill. The VAT is also increased from this time last year. The only thing more expensive about Airtricity is the standing charge, but that only amounts to a couple of quid more really.

The rate per KWh is actually slightly cheaper for you for Airtricity

Thanks, I'll stay with Artricity.

Its not true that your Airtricity bill is cheaper than your Bord Gais bill. Its easy to miss, but if you look under your unit rate, you will see you have a 10% discount still to be applied. The Airtricity discount is already included in their prices. So the BG unit price and standing charge is actually less.

However, your BG bill is over one year old and all suppliers have increased their prices since then. I believe BG increased theirs on 1st September last year.

Best thing to do is to check www.bonkers.ie and do a quick price comparison on there as all their prices are current. Although dont believe a word on what they say about the gas prices. They are clearly misleading customers in their annual savings predictions because they dont take into account the fact that Flo Gas only provide savings for the first 6 months, instead of the 12 or 24 month period the competition provide.
