What should I check before switching energy providers?

A WattWise Team Answered by

Compare estimated annual costs using your actual usage, including usage rates, daily supply charges, discounts and any conditional requirements. Check the contract for fixed-term conditions, exit fees, payment options and whether your concessions or solar feed-in arrangements will carry across. Your new retailer usually coordinates the transfer, so your electricity or gas supply should not be interrupted, but you may receive a final bill from your current provider. Confirm the details with the retailer and compare offers through Energy Made Easy or Victorian Energy Compare, depending on where you live.
