I contacted them at the start of the year. Wish I had known about them before then. Average electricity bills were around €130 pm with Iberdrola. Savings of approx €35 per month prior to June's new tariff and reduced tax. Just received July's bill and considering we had family staying for two weeks, I was very pleasantly surprised at a bill of €115. Obviously had further reductions in June. I would certainly recommend that you contact them.

Dear Lorna

I take it that they arranged the energy supply switch for you and that you were asked to provide them with your NIE number , bank sort code and account number.

Please could you  confirm if this was the case .

Many thanks

Hi Mark, yes they did request all of the above and a copy of our last bill with Iberdrola to enable them to make a like for like comparison and the property reference. They handled all of the transfer.

The guy who called me is English, he was very helpful and efficient.

Thank you for letting me know that you also had to provide that information.II must admit I was a bit nervous about provide that kind of information.

Please could you give me an idea of the costs associated with si.compare arranging the switch to another energy supplier for you.

Many thanks and kind regards.

Mark

Hi Mark. 

I found a switching company, not sure it was the one you named. Through them I found "Bulb" in Barcelona. It was cheaper to go directly to the supply company (broker). 

I was happy with the change but it's hard to gauge savings as I have been away due to Covid!
