Switching to Click Energy

JPin

Hi All,

My OH has just switched from PowerNI to Click Energy, citing a much cheaper tariff for pay as you go users. I am unfamiliar with this electric company, can anyone provide any information, and has my OH made a good decision?

Thanks

Click Energy also have a standing charge of 12.363p (Keypad) or 9.837p (Credit Meter) per day.

Electric Ireland appear to be the cheapest at the moment, with no standing charge.

It is the standing charge that us the kicker - had one of the (think it was someone else) door step me with a leaflet "cheapest unit rate" - I just said "yes, but you have a standing charge" as I closed the door.

Never do it on the doorstep is my advice - take your time & plot out a year's usage, factoring in the rate, bribe/bonus/welcome credit & the standing charge - those with a standing charge & a welcome bonus can come out on top, but make sure you swap after a year (which means starting after about 11 months by the time it goes through).
