Switching is simply the process of changing the company that sells or provides electricity and/or gas to your home. Thanks to the introduction of retail competition across most Australian States and Territories, over eight in ten Australians can now select and switch their gas and electricity supplier.
switching electricity
When it comes to electricity, everyone is different. Perhaps you always pay your bills on time and want to be rewarded for doing so? Or you might want to reduce your carbon emissions without it costing the earth? Or perhaps you simply want a better level of service from your electricity provider?
compare and select providers
At Switchwise it's all about choice. We started this business to put the power back into your hands - we know firsthand how ridiculously complicated electricity pricing can be - so that you can shop around and make an informed choice about the best electricity supplier and plans for your home.
Whilst the electricity that powers your home is the same no matter which company you choose as your provider, electricity suppliers were not created equal - they all offer different energy plans to suit a variety of different household needs. In some States of Australia there are a dozen electricity providers that might supply your suburb. The deregulation of the energy industry has created a unique and excellent opportunity for consumers to compare the range of deals on offer and to seek out both better pricing and service.
how we make life easier
Unfortunately, there can be too much choice, making it difficult for you to make the right decision. Before Switchwise you would have had to seek out all the electricity providers and call them to find out whether they supplied your suburb and, if so, how much they charged. Then you would have had to pull out your calculator or spreadsheet to work out which one was the best deal. Could you really be bothered with all that?
Switchwise has already done the work for you. We can show you a variety of energy plans on offer from several suppliers all in the one place.
Once you have found the best electricity plan for your house you can complete our simple online application and Switchwise will arrange the switch with your chosen supplier.
