Switching FAQ's
It depends if you are still in contract. Some plans need you to sign up for 12 or 24 month contract. When your contract is over, you're free to switch to Bord Gáis Energy. However, if you leave before the end of the contract, you'll usually have to pay an early exit fee. Depending on the provider and plan, that fee could cost between €50 and €100.
Usually, no. If you're out of contract with your old supplier, you can switch at any time and there's no advance notice required.
You can browse our plans or you can find a plan matched to your needs using our Find a Plan tool. Select the plan of your choice, complete our simple sign-up form, and we'll take care of everything for you.
