How much could you save?
The average gas customer can currently save up to €138 by switching from standard gas tariff to the cheapest deal on the market.
If you’ve not switched in over a year, you’ll be out of the discounted period and paying more than you need to. If you have a dual fuel tariff for your gas and electricity, you’ll make even bigger savings by switching.

How to choose the right gas plan
The right gas deal depends on the size of your household and your energy consumption. Our guide: What is the average gas and electricity bill in Ireland? can help you to work out whether you’re a low, medium or high energy user.
As a general rule:
- If you live in a large household with high consumption and a big heating bill, a big discount will probably work best for you - it will significantly reduce your bills over the discount period (usually 12 months).
- If you live in a small household, and your consumption is below average, opting for a plan with a smaller ongoing discount that offers cashback or other bonuses up-front might be more valuable for you.
