    i Hello ,Signed up for standard meter but found out today that I must pay for a new meter as the previous customer was on the Nightsaver /Dual tariff meter. Do new customers have to bear the 190 euro cost

    Hi Trikerone,

    Thank you for getting in touch.

    That charge is for removal of the NightSaver meter by ESB Networks. It is not included on a bill so it is not billable to any specific party - it just needs to be paid by phone to Customer Service in advance of the day/night meter removal.

    If you have any other questions, please let us know.

    Best regards,
    Una

    Ah okay it just seems unfair as a completely new customer I have to pay to change to a new tariff when I did not know that the previous owner was on the Night rate. Still lesson learnt although when signing up over the phone no one told me that to be on the standard rate would incur that cost. Bye to any extra credit I was going to get .

    Hi Trikerone,

    The switching offers of €175 credit and 5.5% off electricity units, or 8.5% off electricity units and gas units each, apply to both 24-hour and day/night ESB Networks meters. Would you be in a position to keep the day/night meter and just concentrate as much usage as you can when the night rate is in effect (which includes early morning up to 9am; it comes into effect at midnight)?

    Regards,
    Una
