FAQ about switching electricity companies
Here are some frequently asked questions and answers about what happens after you have completed the comparison process and decided that you want to switch electricity companies .
If you change your mind it's okay because
your new electricity company
provides you a ten-day 'cooling-off' period,
which means you have ten days to change your mind and stay with your old
energy company
.
No. You won't have to do that. The actual delivery of energy to your house, via the pipes and wires, is done by an energy distributer (not your energy retailer).
The distributor will continue to supply the electricity to your house
even after you switch over to another energy retailer.
The retailer issues your
electricity bills, but they purchase energy from the distributor and
resell it to you. You can't buy electricity directly from your distributor,
you must go through an energy retailer.
You can be certain that when you switch retailers, there won't be any interruption to your electricity supply
because the connection to the distributor will continue to be the same as before.
All the 'paperwork' is processed very quickly,
usually within 24 hours.
But the final switchover
will not go ahead until
your current company
has issued you a final bill,
and they can't do that until they've done your final meter reading.
So, it depends on
when your meter is next due to be read. It be up to three months.
We'll sign you up with the
new energy company
, and we notify
your present provider that you are switching away from them.
The actual change in companies
won't happen immediately, because your current company
will need to read your meter one final time.
and then issue you a final bill.
Your new company
starts charging you from the date that the meter is read.
the energy distributor that feeds the energy to your home
will continue to be the same one as before the switch.
No. Our service is free to you.
We will, however, receive a commission from the
new electricity company
.While our service is provided to you without charge, you may be subject to charges in relation to your current service, including exit fees. You should check this with your current supplier(s).

*Compare & Connect does not compare all plans in the market.Tips to lower your electricity consumption to save money
Here is a list of easy to implement ways to reduce your electricity consumption
- A cheap alternative to an electric blanket is a hot water bottle.
- Minimise draughts. Stop hot or cold air getting in or getting out through the gaps under doors or around your windows by using door snakes and gap seal tape.
- Avoid usage of your clothes dryer. Instead, hang your clothes to dry outside or use an indoor clothes rack.
- Turn off appliances at the power point when you're not using them.
- Rather than turn on the heater, dress for cold weather (warm socks, booties, jumper, beanie).
- Use less lighting. Use natural lighting where possible, and replace older lighting with LED lights.
- Use less air conditioning by opening windows at night to let the house cool down, then closing them each morning to keep hot air out.
- Prevent the hot sun from over-heating your home by closing blinds and curtains in rooms into which the hot sun directly shines in.
- Close the doors to rooms that you aren't using, so that you only heat or cool a smaller space.
