">Your Bord Gáis login account gives you the ability to view your bills, make payments, and to view your tariff details without needing to call. With your Bord Gáis login, you have access to all your account information with just a few clicks. In this guide, we’ll walk through how to register and use your Bord Gáis login account.
What Is a Bord Gáis Login Account?
A Bord Gáis login account is an online account that gives you access to your entire tariff with Bord Gáis. Instead of waiting for ages on the phone, you can simply use your Bord Gáis username and password to access your account from your computer, tablet or smartphone. There you can check bills, change personal details, and even make payments.
Why Should I Register for a Bord Gáis Login Account?
Signing up to a Bord Gáis Energy account means taking control of your energy. As with other online energy accounts (such as those with SSE Airtricity or Energia), you will be able to change your energy plan or pay gas and/or electricity bills online easily. You can also check any details about boiler service. If you really don’t want to be able to login and view your energy consumption at the touch of a button, registering for an online account is not compulsory.
How Do I Register for a Bord Gáis Account?
To register for a Bord Gáis account, you’ll need to have a couple of details to hand regarding your tariff information. You should have to hand the following details:
- Your account number
- MPRN/GPRN
- The last 4 digits of your phone number
- An e-mail address
Your account number can be found on any bill or in your welcome pack and is ten digits-long.
What Is My MPRN or GPRN Number? A Meter Point Reference Number (MPRN) and a Gas Point Reference Number (GPRN) are unique identification codes associated with your electricity and gas meters. These numbers help energy suppliers and distribution companies identify and manage individual connections to the network. You’ll usually find this on your Bord Gáis bill or by phone ESB Networks.
What Are the Main Steps To Register?
In order to get registered with your Bord Gáis login account, you’ll need to follow some simple steps in order to get it all sorted. Here’s what you need to do:
- Head to the Bord Gáis Website
Make sure you’re on the Bord Gáis website to get started. In the top right hand corner, you’ll see a button that says ‘Register’. Click on it and go to the next step. - Fill In Registration Form
After you click ‘Register’, you’ll go through the registration form. It’s here that you need to enter the information such as your account number, MPRN/GPRN, email address and phone number. - Paper Billing and Rewards
When registering, at the bottom of the page you will also see “Paperless billing” and “Unmissable Rewards”, with a green slider to the right of each one, which will automatically be set to sign you up for, unless you click on the slider to slide it to the left and opt out. - Confirm Your Email
After completing your registration, you’ll be sent a confirmation email to make sure you’re setting up the right account with the right email address. You’ll be provided with a link in the email to click to get full access to your Bord Gáis login account. Remember to check your spam folder!
How Do I Log Into My Bord Gáis Account?
To sign in to your Bord Gáis Energy home energy account, visit the sign-in page, enter the email and password you registered with, and click on the blue “sign in” button with a right-pointing arrow on it.
You can also log into your Bord Gáis Business Energy account (if you have one) from the same page by selecting the “Business energy” tab in the top left-hand corner.
What If I’ve Forgotten My Password to My Bord Gáis Login?
If you’ve forgotten your password, no need to worry. Simply click on the blue underlined question ‘Forgot your password?’, which is directly under the sign in button. Alternatively, you can proceed directly to the forgotten password page from here.
Then fill in the email you registered in the email box, and click on the “send me the reset email button”. You will receive an email with a link that you need to click on to reset your password. You will not normally be permitted to use the same password again and will need to come up with a new one.
