Switching back to Bord Gais again for Electricity - Can I?

eddiem74 · 2012-03-06 17:48:20

I have gone from ESB to BG to Electric Ireland (EI). My current EI reduced rate ends this month and Bord Gais looks like the cheaper option again assuming I don't want the joys of Airtricity customer service and contracts. So can I just change back to BG and be treated as a new customer again? I was checking on bonkers.ie…

I was checking on bonkers.ie and it asked if I had electricity with BG before and as I answered yes they said I was not entitled to new customer rates?

Would like some clarification before approaching BG or starting the process. Anyone done this?

Thanks !

Thanks but I am with EI, and am considering going back to BG for the better rate. EI cannot match the BG rate.

My question is around if I go back to BG having been with them before will they treat me as a new customer or existing as I was with them before. Bonkers.ie seems to indicate the latter...
