Selectra's opinion on Bord Gáis Energy

Bord Gáis Energy offers the advantage of being an established, trusted provider with comprehensive energy services, including gas, electricity, and home energy upgrades, alongside a focus on energy efficiency and online account management.

Selectra's opinion on Flogas

Flogas's main advantage is its diverse energy portfolio, notably its expertise in LPG, catering well to rural areas, alongside offering electricity tariffs.

On top of this, they often receive criticism, much like other energy suppliers, for their pricing and quality of customer support.
