66% of us will switch leccy provider firm

AROUND 66% of Irish households will change utility service provider in the next year, a survey revealed yesterday.

Price comparison site Switcher.ie found a third plan to shop around for motor insurance and electricity firms.

The changes could save the average person more than €1,150 on energy, broadband and mobile bills.

Switcher.ie’s Eoin Clarke said: “The most important thing to know is sticking with an existing supplier – particularly if you’ve been with them a long time – will frequently land you with a higher bill.”
