However the difference between Airtricity & Budget would be 15.59/14.81 x 100 = 105.27 i.e. 5.27% diff).

I could be wrong.;)

You know you're not! :cool:

My figure was the difference between PowerNI and Airtricity rather than Airtricity and Budget. The calculation was correct I was just comparing the wrong 2 companies.

Just switched over today to Budget, I've spoke to them on the phone a couple of times and have to say they sound like a very small outfit, not knocking them or anything but at 14p per meter I wonder can they up against the big boys and well no one really knows about them.

NIGUY I have been switched to budget for about 6/7 weeks.Have had no trouble with them.Admittedly they do seem to be a small company but dont seem to be as greedy as some others which i suppose would perhaps make people a bit suspicious.However as switching is new to NI they and we have to start somewhere.Besides that, they dont hold us to any contract so we can leave when we want if we dont get the service we like.This is what i am baseing my faith on them with.I would imagine that this company will and is growing everyday.Maybe their lack of advertising on telly saves them money so that the customers can benefit.
Just my thoughts on it.

I am a keypad customer with NI energy on Economy 7. Do Budget offer a keypad Economy 7 tariff, I dont see any on their website.

It wouldnt be worth my while switching if they dont offer Economy 7 prices.

I emailed Budget and got a response on Economy 7 prices, they are as follows:

Bill Pay
Standing Charge (pence per day) – 12.24
Day (pence per unit) – 16.50
Night / Heating (pence per unit) – 6.97

Keypad
Standing Charge (pence per day) – 12.50
Day (pence per unit) – 16.742
Night / Heating (pence per unit) – 7.08

Why is Keypad so much more expensive than Bill Pay?

RTNI

Maybe paypoint or whoever it is that tops up the cards takes a cut of the amount you put on the card and budget energy is recouping this?
