Ah something to really benefit the consumer, god no down with that sort of thing!
Ah something to really benefit the consumer, god no down with that sort of thing!Fixed rate means a fixed unit rate that will not change/increase for the duration of the contract (usually 12 months) unlike variable unit rate contracts.
Fixed rates would generally be higher than regular rates so may not benefit the customer if variable rates don't rise or do fall over the relevant period. Usually you'll be paying a premium for the predictability of the fixed rate.Ah something to really benefit the consumer
Check your insurance. Most have an option to add breakdown cover and its a lot cheaper than the AA directlyNow AA membership renewal are the next people on my hitlist.
Electric Ireland seem to be the best value for a 24 hour tariff and @Sarah Ryan's usage profile in this case?On Electricity - why not simply switch to Energia? They'll handle the Electric Ireland transfer and it can be in your name only.
Night 16.91, day 30.75, peak 34.54
Figured out how to download all the data and started with the energy pal site, the Electric Ireland plan is still coming in at the best 24hr unit rate plan based on the info I have supplied.
The majority of my energy usage is during the day time as I WFH so a time of use tariff is no good to me as all the washing / dishwasher / dehumidifier and cooking (this changes based on husband shift to more peak times every 2 weeks of the month) is done from about 9am until lunchtime so the cheapest electricity during that time is what I need.
You rewarded them for good service.Their help at a time like that always stuck with me but I guess well, err it's time for us to break up.
AA breakdown is far superior than any breakdown cover on car insurance, it's a non - negotiable for me.Check your insurance. Most have an option to add breakdown cover and its a lot cheaper than the AA directly
24 hr unit rate showing as 29.70 for me but that is not a bad price. But I would still be missing out on the EI rewards programme which gets me a few extra quid off each quarter.On Electricity - why not simply switch to Energia?

or a 24 hour rate of 28.10c
In most cases it's the same thing, the only time I needed to call the service included with 123.ie cover it was the AA that responded. The AA and others have some of their own staff, but heavily depend on a network of independent garages to provide nationwide coverage.AA breakdown is far superior than any breakdown cover on car insurance, it's a non - negotiable for me.
I ran two classic cars together for about 3 years - I had my own flatbed with them.the only time
Well with EI there was no budging, zilch nada the computer said no for everything.how do ppl go about negotiating a better offering?
Are you sure about that?Figured out how to download all the data and started with the energy pal site, the Electric Ireland plan is still coming in at the best 24hr unit rate plan based on the info I have supplied.
Yeah I took a screenshot of it,I have it on my computer I only searched under the 24-hour section not the dynamic pricing or time of use?Are you sure about that?
I didn't realise that you were going for a dual fuel contract. The thread title and original post don't reflect that.As well only been searching for dual fuel bundles not separately. Now this is where you tell me that I need to take them out separately lol!
Yes sorry I thought I said that, will look again over the weekend to see if cheaper to take out separate contract for both gas and electricity.I didn't realise that you were going for a dual fuel contract.
No. Although if a price increase might result in paying more than €50 compared to competitors then it might be worth breaking the contract early, paying the penalty, and moving provider mid contract.On the price hikes, there is no way to avoid though with variable rates?
Phew! No danger so of us losing our place at the top of the European Price League.SSE Airtricity announced price increases today. Electricity unit rates will increase by 9.4%, electricity standing charges by 6.12%, and gas unit rates by 11.6%.
