I see Independent newspaper group are promoting choosy.ie comparison website. Currently it has only home energy and is saying Iberdrola is the cheapest for dual fuel by over 300 euro. Can anyone explain ... as I was looking at the One Big Switch current offer to stay with Bord Gais which has free Hive/ light bulbs etc
Choosy.ie offer with Iberdrola

FWIW I would never go back to a heating system without a smart thermostat. Once you realise the convenience of just setting the temperature you want your house to be at and no longer having to tweak an old heating timer or flick it on and off every hour or two, you'll wonder what kind of barbaric life you were once living 
. You also get the ability to flick the heating on as you drive home or turn the hot water on your way back from the gym. You (arguably) spend less on heating bills as well, because rather than being in a cycle of letting the house get too cold, then overheating it over-and-over, the thermostat will not let it get too cold and will never overheat it.
The Hive costs about 200 Euro and it looks like BG are including installation which is surely worth a couple of hundred quid as well. Not sure if they'll add the required electronic valves etc. in that, but I guess somebody who has already taken up the offer can confirm.
Short version: I'd be taking the Hive offer over 300 Euro discount as it seems like a cheap way to get a smart thermostat which will significantly improve the comfort of your home.
