  • We switched to Iresa for electric at the start of December 2016; account was set up as expected and all DD's have been taken at the correct time for the correct amount. Had small amounts of interest paid when the account has been in credit.

    We have submitted meter readings at least once a month. Sometimes they have taken a couple of weeks to appear on the account, but they do eventually get there and are credited on the correct date. Found it best to submit a meter reading just after the DD is taken.

    Account is currently in debit, but that will be cancelled out next week when the monthly DD is added.

    We have no problem with the DD being taken in advance, as that, in a way, is what most companies do by keeping you in credit with slightly higher than the needed DD charges.

    Just to update this - my Electricity Meter Point finally appeared in my Iresa account overnight (7 days after my switch date) but the opening meter read I provided hasn't.

    Judging by the comments others have made re timescales I expect this will happen in the next couple of days and I should then receive my final bill from EON to complete the switching process.

    Thanks for this. my Elec has also appeared overnight, 10 days after my switch.

    The opening meter read is also not there. Website wont let me enter a reading as far back as 8th Feb so I'm tempted to just submit it as at the 10th Feb.

    I definitely won't be phoning them again!

    I wouldn't worry. If you've already provided them with your opening meter read it will only appear in your account when it's been validated by the third party which can take anywhere between 10-14 days.
  • I've been with them since the end of July for my electricity. No problems with the switchover or since. Regular emails from them asking for readings or telling me DD payments are being taken. Website is straightforward as is giving readings.

    The one bill I've had and the online bill/payment history is typical bill speak which probably makes sense if you speak bill language.

    I'm happy I moved. Currently no complaints about them.

    Its still fine. No problems. I give monthly readings and DDs are taken as expected.

    A lot of the comments on here seem to be about the time taken to change and meter readings not updating on their website quickly. I remember the change over feeling slow but I left them to get on with it. I don't really follow the online readings but seem to remember wondering where some of mine had gone. They appeared later.

    I've started to get paper bills from them which I didn't expect.

    They seem to have a relaxed timescale which worries some people.

    I am coming up to 6 weeks since I made the switch and 4 weeks since the end of the cooling off period. My online account is still lacking information, ie no meter readings as provided, no MPRNs, no start date for my gas supply, and no answer to an e-mail I sent on 3rd February re the above. They seem to respond to Facebook complaints, but not those by e-mail.
