Frequently Asked Questions

Switching energy providers has never been this effortless. With deregulation in NSW, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, and Tasmania, private providers offer a variety of incentives. Select & Switch helps you find:

  • Affordable deals tailored to your postcode
  • Bundled offers for gas and electricity in one plan
  • Special incentives for switching, on-time payments, and more
  • Customised plans to maximise solar feed-in tariffs, single rate tariffs, off-peak savings, rebates, and low exit fees

Energy prices and distributor networks are in constant flux. Electricity retailers are continually seeking ways to improve pricing and reduce costs for consumers. From South East Queensland to South Australia, Select & Switch customers are capitalising on these opportunities to save.

The cheapest suppliers vary based on your location, energy usage, and available providers. Our comparison service will save you time and money by pinpointing the best deals tailored to your needs.

Solar energy can supplement or completely meet your residential or business energy needs. In some regions, excess energy can be stored or sold back to the grid, making solar panels a smart, long-term investment.

Tips for Comparing Energy Plans

Why Compare Energy Plans?

Don't settle for your current energy plan! Comparing options regularly can lead to significant savings. Here's why:

  • Expired Discounts: Introductory offers often expire, leaving you paying more than necessary.
  • Market Changes: New plans with better rates and features are constantly emerging.
  • Rate Increases: Your provider might raise prices without warning.
  • Changing Needs: Your energy usage might have changed, making a different plan more suitable.
  • Hidden Fees: Some plans have hidden fees that can add up over time.

Use a Comparison Tool

Simplify the process by using a free online energy comparison tool. It does the legwork for you, comparing dozens of plans from different providers based on your specific needs and location.

Understand Your Energy Bill

Before you compare, take a close look at your current energy bill. Understand the different components:

  • Supply Charge: A fixed daily fee for delivering electricity or gas to your home.
  • Usage Charge: The cost per unit (kilowatt-hour for electricity, megajoule for gas) of energy you use.
  • Other Charges: May include environmental fees, meter reading fees, or late payment fees.
  • Bundled vs. Separate Bills: Some providers offer bundled plans for electricity and gas, while others send separate bills. Consider which option suits your preferences and budgeting style.

Look Beyond Discounts

While discounts are tempting, they're not the only factor to consider. Pay attention to:

  • Overall Costs: Compare the total estimated annual cost, not just the discounted rate.
  • Tariff Types: Choose the tariff that matches your energy usage patterns.
  • Contract Terms: Understand the length of the contract and any exit fees.
  • Customer Service: Read reviews to gauge the provider's reliability and support.

Consider Your Energy Needs

Think about your household's energy usage. Do you use more electricity during peak hours? Do you have solar panels? Your answers will help determine the best plan for you.

Explore Different Tariff Types

Electricity tariffs can be:

  • Single Rate: The same price per unit of electricity at all times.
  • Time of Use: Different prices for peak, shoulder, and off-peak times.
  • Controlled Load: Specific rates for certain appliances (e.g., hot water systems).

Gas tariffs can be:

  • Flat Rate: The same price per unit of gas at all times.
  • Block Rate: The price per unit increases as you use more gas.

Check for Concessions and Rebates

Many states and territories offer concessions or rebates to eligible households, such as pensioners, low-income earners, and those with medical conditions. Check if you qualify.

Go Green with Renewable Energy

If sustainability is important to you, consider plans that include a percentage of renewable energy or carbon offsets. Some providers even offer 100% GreenPower options.

Read the Fine Print

Before signing up for a new plan, read the terms and conditions carefully. Pay attention to:

  • Discounts: When they start and end, and any conditions attached to them.
  • Fees: Late payment fees, paper bill fees, and disconnection/reconnection fees.
  • Contract Details: The length of the contract, cooling-off period, and early termination fees.

Don't Be Afraid to Switch

Switching energy providers is easier than you think, and it doesn't interrupt your energy supply. If you find a better deal, make the switch and start saving!
