What Is Level Pay with Bord Gáis?

Level pay is a new initiative from Bord Gáis to help customers manage their energy bills. Rather than paying a different amount each month for your electricity and gas, your payments remain the same over a 12-month period.

The company estimates your yearly usage and then divides the annual cost into 12 even payments, making it easier for you to manage your monthly budget.

If you are found to be over consuming, a new monthly amount will be calculated to better reflect your consumption levels.
