Do you have to get esb to put you on night time rate to make use of the cheaper tariff or can you simply avail of the cheapar cost by using your appliances after a certain time. Can someone confirm the cost of the two tariffs

The annual standing charge is about €50 more so you need to work out if your usage justifies this or not.
