Selectra's opinion on Electric Ireland

Electric Ireland's advantage is its established reliability and comprehensive service, offering a range of tariffs and offers for both electricity and gas customers. In addition, they also offer home energy services, including solar panel installation. Despite this, recurring customer service concerns and criticism over high pricing may go against Ireland's largest energy supplier. 

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. However, disadvantages may include their lack of experience in the electricity market along with their heavy use of fossil fuels. On top of this, they often receive criticism, much like other energy suppliers, for their pricing and quality of customer support.
