Look no further for some of the best dual fuel deals to help save you money and lower your energy bills this spring.
With energy prices still near record highs and putting pressure on household budgets, finding the best value has never been more important.
Fortunately, there are some great dual fuel deals on the market right now that can help you save big money on both your gas and electricity.
In this article, we’ll highlight three of the best options currently available which will help keep your home warm and your bills low!
1. Yuno Energy - 1 Year Dual Fuel
The first of our dual fuel deals comes from Ireland's newest energy provider Yuno Energy.
Yuno entered the Irish market in 2023 and is a subsidiary of Prepaypower, the pay-as-you-go electricity provider that has been operating in Ireland for many years. However Yuno offers a billpay service at generally cheaper rates and operates as a separate entity.
Initially it only offered electricity but recently entered the gas market too.
Yuno is currently offering a rate of just over 31 cent for electricity and 8 cent for gas for an entire year. It's also offering a whopping €320 in welcome credit, which will be paid to your account before your first bill issues.
The contract is for one year and it’s a variable tariff, meaning the price could go up or down over the course of the year. And unlike most providers, you won't pay your bill by Direct Debit - you'll provide either your debit or credit card details instead.
While Yuno's dual fuel rates are a bit higher than some of the other providers, the sizeable welcome credit means that for most people the plan will still work out cheaper over the course of a year than most other deals.
However if you live in a large household and use a lot of energy, you would be better off going with a deal that offers no cashback but a lower unit rate.

2. Bord Gáis Energy - Dual Fuel (32% Electricity & 29% Gas)
Our next plan is from Bord Gáis Energy which is offering new customers who sign up to its dual fuel bundle a massive 32% discount on its standard electricity rate and a 29% discount on its standard gas rate.
It's not offering any cashback but its rates are much lower than Yuno's: just under 25 cent for electricity and under 8 cent for gas. So if you live in a large home with four or more family members, and use a lot of energy, this deal might work out cheapest for you.
And as a Bord Gáis Energy customer you can also sign up to its rewards club, which includes access to unmissable experiences, complimentary VIP upgrades and pre-sale tickets to the world-class Bord Gáis Energy Theatre in Dublin.
The contract is for one year and it’s a variable tariff.

3. SSE Airtricity - 20% Dual Fuel
Our final dual fuel deal is from SSE Airtricity, which is offering a 20% discount on its standard gas and electricity rates for one year.
On top of this, it's also offering €130 welcome credit.
And through SSE's partnership with Tesco, you can save even more. With the partnership, you can ‘boost’ your Tesco Clubcard vouchers to double up the savings on your energy bill. So €10 in Clubcard vouchers can be exchanged for a €20 credit off your SSE gas and electricity bill. Not bad!
You must be a member of SSE Reward to do this. But signing up is fairly simple.
If that's not enough, if you're a PTSB customer and pay your SSE bill by Direct Debit from its Explore current account, you'll receive 2% cashback on your bill too.

We've only highlighted three deals here. There may be other deals that suit your circumstances better. Or it may be cheaper for you to get your gas and electricity from separate suppliers.
And if you have a smart meter that you have activated, depending on when you use your electricity, a different supplier might suit you better.
