Hi all

Been approached by these guys in a local shopping centre they took my details. Just wondering is it really the saving that they say. Has anyone switched and is it any hassle???

Thanks

    missma assuming you're not on a pre pay meter you are saving money, NIE cannot match Airtricity's rates at the minute so its pretty much guaranteed they will be cheaper, as for bills being estimates, like NIE all you need to do is ring or go online and enter an accurate reading

    Yea I have signed up will see how it goes
  • Being an air. rep i can say from what ive seen everything goes smoothly aslong as people submit their readings, because when people dont the estimates are slightly above what they expect to pay, but every 3 months when the NIE comes out for the reading if it was overestimated it is always automatically refunded to what the exact bill should be :)
    That and online processing times seem to be the only issues
