Hi gcma,

I would need more information to best advise, but based on what you've said I would recommend our Valuesaver Nightsaver tariff, whereby you can get up to 10% off our standard electricity rates as a new or returning customer, or 6% off as an existing customer.

Storage heaters are energy intensive appliances and are best used in conjunction with a Nightsaver tariff (the night rate offers approx. 50% off the corresponding day rate - though there are increased standing charges. See here for more information). Are you already an Electric Ireland customer, and does your bill contain both day and night readings?

Also, as you mentioned that you only use the storage heaters to heat water, do you also have gas installed at the property? Dual-fuel customers (i.e. those that have both electricity and gas with Electric Ireland) are eligible for our best available offer: 10% off both fuels as either a new or existing customer. And returning customers that switch online also receive €25 extra off their bill.

Hope this helps. If you have any other questions just give us a shout.

Thanks,

David

thx David.
I am a new customer in a rented property and will be taking over the account from the landlady.  The mains box has a night and day meter.
There is no gas heating at the property.

Thanks for getting back gcma,

The likelihood is that the property is already on a Nightsaver tariff, so all you need to do (when you move in) is the following:

• Make note of the meter readings
• Get the MPRN from your landlady
• Contact us by phone (1850 30 50 90) or right here on Boards (by PM). You can also switch online or request a callback.

To be eligible for the Valuesaver Nightsaver priceplan (10% off our standard rates), you would need to sign up to direct debit.* Online billing is optional, and comprises 2% of the overall 10% discount.

If you have any other questions we'll be happy to help.

Regards,

David

Hi gmca,

Sorry about the link error - that private message inbox should be accessible via the link to it in my signature, or you can private message me directly. David is not in today.

Your storage heating has nothing to do with the heating of your water. There will be a seperate timeswitch ( located in the locality of your emersion heating tank) that will heat your water. Just make sure that the time is correct. If you're on Nightsaver the timer will probably be preset to come on for 4 hours during the night, so once you have it switched to timed & you have the correct time set on it you don't have to do anything else, & you should have a full tank of hot water every morning. The timer activates the heating element for lower (bigger) part of the tank. You should also have a boost button/switch which is a 'top-up' & activates the heating element for the top (smaller) part of the tank, usually used if you have run out of hot water towards evening/nightime.
