Can you help understand my bill?

For many people, your energy bill can appear daunting. For Flogas residential customers, our bill contains several important pieces of information which can help you understand the charges, rates, your usage, and how to manage your energy bills. Below are the main items you will see on all Flogas energy bills:

Account details:

  • Address
    This is the address that the bill issues to. This may not be the same address where the energy is being used. 
  • Account number
    This is the account number you have with Flogas. It is a unique identifier for you as a consumer, and you should always have this to hand when dealing with customer support for a faster, easier experience
  • MPRN or GPRN
    Your Meter Point Reference Number (MPRN) is the unique identifying number for your property's connection to the electricity network, while the Gas Point Reference Number (GPRN) is a unique identifying number for your property's connection to the gas network. These numbers are unique to the property, so if you move property, your MPRN or GPRN will change too. These numbers are crucial if you have a query about your connection with ESB Network, or Gas Networks Ireland
  • Emergency numbers
    In case of emergencies, whether a gas leak, or electrical outage, you may need to contact the national gas or electricity networks. Your electricity bill will always display the emergency number for ESB Network, while your gas bill will always display the emergency number for Gas Networks Ireland. 


Calculation:

  • Meter reading
    Your energy consumption calculation is based on the meter reading. The reading on your bill shows the previous and current reading so you can clearly see how much energy you used in that billing period. The type of reading used is indicated using the following:
    A = Actual Read
    E = Estimated Read
    C = Customer Read
  • Calculation
    Your bill will show a clear calculation of the different components that result in the final amount due.
  • Billing Period
    This is the timeframe that the energy you are being billed for was used in.


Electricity bill only:

  • Meter Configuration
    This indicates for ESB Networks and Flogas what type of meter you have
  • Profile code
    This indicates the usage profile you have
  • Distribution group
    This identifies the type of user you are (eg Urban, Rural, etc)
  • Tariff Category
    This indicates the type of tariff you are being charged

Natural Gas only:

  • Meter Number
    The meter number is for your actual meter. If your meter is replaced, the meter number changes.
  • AC Band
    Your Annual Consumption (AC) Band is allocated based on your estimated annual usage

What's a standing charge?

Why do I pay a Standing Charge?

In simple terms your standing charge covers the various costs associated with supplying your property with gas - including the delivery of gas, maintenance of the gas tank(s) and regular testing. For Metered customers this includes your meter and relevant pipework.

The tank(s) which hold your gas supply remains the property of Flogas. This means that we take responsibility for the safety of the gas tank, ensuring that it is at all times maintained to the highest possible industry and national regulatory standards.

Here are some of the measures we take to ensure your peace of mind:

  • Each time we make a delivery of gas to you, our driver performs a visual inspection of the gas tank. If the driver has any concerns about any aspect of the tank from a safety and general maintenance point of view, they will immediately report this to our Installations and Maintenance Department. Further inspection will be carried out by one of our experienced gas installers, who will carry out any maintenance work that may be required.
  • All our tanks are subjected to a full test and re-qualification on their 10th anniversary.
    These tests are performed by our maintenance personnel and are an important part of our commitment to your safety.
  • All tanks have a unique identifier number which means that we can keep a full record of their history and schedule maintenance when required.
What's a unit rate?

The unit rate is the price-per-unit of the gas and electricity you consume in your household. For example, electricity is measured in kilowatt per hour (kWh), so a unit rate would be the cost per each kWh used!

Unit rates can vary depending on a number of reasons, such as your location, your preferred payment method and what energy tariff you’re on. If your energy tariff does not have a standing charge, your price-per-unit is going to be higher to compensate. 

How often will I receive a bill?

We invoice our Residential customers every two months for both natural gas and electricity.
