Case Study Overview

Customer Testimonial: Choice Services Ireland on Working With Utilityfair

"Managing 20 electricity meters across our properties means electricity is a significant cost for us. We wanted to make sure we weren't paying more than we needed to, while still having certainty over our electricity costs.

Dan from Utilityfair reviewed our electricity accounts and sent us a side-by-side comparison of the rates and contract options available from all suppliers. He talked us through the different options, and we decided to switch supplier and fix our electricity rates for 12 months.

This reduced our annual electricity costs by €20,515. Dan made the whole process straightforward, and we're very happy with the savings. I would happily recommend Utilityfair to other businesses managing multiple electricity meters.

With electricity costs spread across multiple properties, the business wanted to establish whether it was paying more than necessary and whether better rates were available from other suppliers.

After discussing the different options, Choice Services Ireland decided to switch supplier while retaining a fixed-price contract structure. The new 12-month contracts reduced annual electricity costs by €20,515 while providing certainty over pricing for the contract term.
