Send Airtricity an e-mail and they will send you back their rates, Eblanoid is right 10% Cheaper than ESB.
It just amazes me that everyone gripes about ESB prices, but would not consider switching their source to a supplier who is 10% cheaper, there is no risk, ESB networks are still obliged to deliver the Electricity to your house, maintain the network, read your meter etc.
The saving is about 10% only if you:
- pay by Direct Debit
- agree to receive an e-bill (no paper bill)
- use their Level Plan which averages the bills of the past year
However I have emailed Airtricity and asked them how exactly this is calculated, and what would happen if my consumption goes up or down significantly. They have not replied to this moment.
My guess is that they are using a moving average to calculate the bill, which does not mean the bill stays exactly the same but only that fluctuations are relatively smoothed.
Has anyone actually asked them about this??
thanks
