Keypad Meter - Who's the Cheapest

Eclipser

Hi All

Just changed this week to a keypad meter and would like to know with the current price drops who will be the cheapest to switch to.

Currently with Power NI however it seems the minimum topup is £15?

Thanks

Go with Airtricity for a year, then change to Budget or Electric Ireland.

a friend was about to change from budget to airtricity .Budget offered her £40 credit to stay .
I phoned and asked what they could offer me .
They told me to move to airtricity ,get the £40 credit ,wait 21 days and move back .LOL

Decided to switch to SSE Airtricity for the £40 Welcome Bonus can also top up from £5!

I moved to airtricity yesterday ,got £40 credit .Only 21 days to go before I can move back to budget

Are Budget offering a credit if you switch to them?

If so might do the same thing

Been with airtricity and contract was up , so have to leave them for 21 days so I thought then come back as a new customer.


But in telephone conversataions with them it seems that the 21 days is now 30 days, so who is right?

well as budget are cheaper ,go to them for 31 days ( I added a day to be on the safe side ) then move back .
The process seems to take at least two weeks anyway

Been with budget before, bill pay customer money taken by direct debit.


As budgets prices now are just cheaper than PowerNi and I found it a bit of a hassle to both join and leave them, getting telephones calls etc I have gone back to PowerNI for the 30 days or so before then going back to airtricity I hope.
