Why switching works
Irish energy and broadband providers offer their best rates to new customers. If you have been with the same provider for more than 12 months, you are almost certainly paying more than a new customer on the same plan. Switching resets the clock.
How savings are calculated
The figures above are based on common household setups in Ireland. Energy savings use the formula: (unit rate x kWh used per year) + (standing charge x 365 days) - discounts and cashback. Your actual saving depends on your current plan, usage, and the offers available at the time you compare.
How often should you switch?
Energy and broadband introductory offers typically last 12 months. Checking once a year, around your renewal date, is usually enough to make sure you are not paying over the odds. Sortd tracks your renewal timing and alerts you when a better deal is available.
