Organising Same Day Connection

If possible, arrange your new electricity connection in advance. Choose the day before you’re due to move in as the connection date so you have power on as soon as you move in. However, things don’t always go according to plan, and you may need an urgent power connection.

GoSwitch partners with retailers that can connect power next business day if required. Let your retailer (or GoSwitch representative) know before 1 pm, and you can be connected the following day (excluding public holidays). There may be an urgent connection fee included, so speak to your retailer regarding new connection fees and tariffs.
