Frequently asked questions

 

How do you compare electricity and gas plans?

To compare electricity and gas plans with ease, simply enter a few details into our free comparison tool. We’ll ask a few questions, like:

  • are you after electricity, gas or a combined plan;
  • is the plan for your home or business;
  • what is your home or business’ postcode or suburb; and
  • do you have solar power, or are you considering solar panels?

We’ll also ask you a few details to help you look for great-value plans in minutes. Keep in mind that you may live in an area where you can’t choose your own energy plan – or you have limited options available. Find out more about whether you can switch providers below.

To track down a cheaper electricity and gas plan, you’ll also need to understand more about your energy bill. That’s why our service helps you compare energy plans, including the:

  • benefit period (e.g. your bill may include a discount for 12-24 months)
  • applicable discounts and other perks (e.g. tickets to games)
  • daily supply (cents per day)
  • usage charges (cents per kilowatt-hours – or c/kWh)
  • fees
  • estimated monthly, quarterly or annual energy costs.

What’s the best energy plan available?

What’s considered the best energy plan will vary from household to household. However, the most suitable plan is one that matches your energy needs, offers attractive contract terms (e.g. discounts and other perks) and is cost-effective. Not as simple as it sounds!

We aim to make your search for the best energy plan easier. By using our helpful online energy comparison tool, you’ll be able to compare a range of energy plans to see if you can find great value for your needs.

That is as simple as it sounds!

Concerned about switching energy providers or losing power?

Don’t fret! When switching energy providers, we’ll transfer your existing account from your current provider to your new one, without any disruption to your service. No physical changes are made (such as cabling or meters), meaning the quality and reliability of your supply remains the same.

Remember: while your actual electricity supply is the same regardless of your provider, most providers will have different pricing, levels of customer service and terms of use. That’s why comparing your options puts the power back in your hands.
