Facts, not promises
How switching works in Ireland
- Switching supplier is free and your supply is not interrupted: the meter and the network company stay the same.
- You need your MPRN (electricity) or GPRN (gas). The switch goes through once your cooling-off period has closed.
- You have 14 days to cancel a switch without penalty, and 30 days for some distance or doorstep contracts.
- Doorstep sales agents must show ID and give you the CRU checklist; sales calls are never allowed on Sundays or bank holidays.
- The CRU accredits four comparison sites: bonkers.ie, switcher.ie, PowerToSwitch.ie and EnergySwitch.ie.
- Arrears only block a switch if you owe €225 or more for at least 60 days; unresolved complaints go free of charge to the CRU.
We don't call. We don't knock.
We don't sell.
We never phone you and we sell nothing. A comparison site may call you only if you give it your number. The CRU doesn't run a comparison tool itself; it accredits four comparison sites, all listed on our compare page.
