What should I check before switching energy providers?

A WattWise Team Answered by

Compare plans using your recent bill, checking usage rates, daily supply charges, discounts, fees and contract conditions—not just the advertised headline rate. If you have solar, a controlled-load meter or an electricity concession, confirm how the new plan treats each of these. In most Australian states and territories, Energy Made Easy can help compare electricity and gas offers using your household details. Ask the retailer about start dates, exit fees and any cooling-off rights, then confirm the final plan and eligibility directly with the provider.
