Connecting electricity and gas to a rental property

Moving to a new home or rental property is a good time to renegotiate your current energy contract or switch to a better deal with another retailer. Make sure to give your retailer several days’ notice of your move so they can organise a timely connection to your premises. GoSwitch partners with trusted retailers such as Energy Australia, Origin Energy, AGL, and Dodo.

Your electricity or gas retailer will coordinate the connection with major Brisbane distribution networks.

Electricity:

• Energex
• Ergon Energy

Gas:

• Allgas Energy
• Australian Gas Networks

Connection of gas and electricity to a new build

Here are the steps to get power connected to a new build.

1. Talk with the electrical contractor completing work on your build about the connection process and costs involved.
2. Submit your connection application. Your contractor can submit the application on your behalf. The connection can be fast-tracked in some cases.
3. Accept the connection offer from your regional energy distributor.
4. Choose your electricity retailer and set up an account. The account needs to be set up and terms accepted before the connection to your new build can be completed.
5. Your retailer will advise you of the timeframe for connection so you have power at your premises when you are ready to move in.

Same day (expediated) electricity or gas connection is available with GoSwitch partners. Urgent same-day connection will incur additional costs, so speak to a GoSwitch energy expert who will provide all the information required for a cost-effective switch.

GoSwitch is Australia’s favourite energy price comparison service with access to leading energy providers, electricity networks and energy plans designed to suit your household, business, and lifestyle. If you need a same-day electricity connection, GoSwitch can make it happen.

Find out how to get your electricity connected urgently with GoSwitch. Along with Brisbane customers, we serve regional Queensland areas such as Rockhampton, plus New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, and other Australian states and territories.

Electricity and gas distributors charge disconnection/reconnection fees when you move to a new property. The fees can vary depending on your location and energy requirements, and include costs for undertaking a meter reading.

If you are considering switching to a new retailer, there may be an early exit fee associated with your current contract. A GoSwitch price comparison search will compare all fees, incentives, and savings opportunities so you can choose the right energy deal for your household or small business.

In the highly competitive energy provider industry it can be difficult to sort the best from the rest. A GoSwitch gas or electricity price comparison search is the alternative to independent research that can take hours or days with little reward. A GoSwitch comparison search takes only a couple of minutes and delivers the latest offers from leading retailers in real-time.

2. Compare plans from leading retailers using the GoSwitch price comparison service
