Your guide to dual fuel energy plans
Simplify your energy
with a dual fuel plan
Looking to simplify your energy accounts and get better value from your electricity or gas provider?
This guide explains everything you need to know how dual fuel plans work, whether they suit your home, and how to find the best dual fuel deals from a trusted energy provider.
What is a dual fuel energy plan?
A dual fuel plan means your electricity and gas come from the same energy provider.
Instead of managing your home energy in two separate places, you bring both fuels under one account, making everything easier to access through your Bord Gáis Energy online account or app.
You’ll still receive separate gas and electricity bills, but they’ll be available in one place. You’ll also deal with just one customer support team and only need to log in once to see everything.
Is dual fuel always the cheapest option?
It depends on your home, your usage and your current supplier. Factors like your location, how much energy you use, and the type of meter you have all influence what you pay.
Dual fuel isn’t always the lowest cost, but many households find it offers better overall value through discounts, streamlined management and exclusive customer perks.
