Helping Australians pay less for electricity and gas!

GoSwitch.com.au is a free online compare and save service that has been developed to help Australians pay less for electricity and gas.

Energy is becoming more expensive and since 2007 price increases for electricity, in particular, have been dramatic. For example, the wholesale price of electricity in Victoria increased by 12-17% in January this year alone.

The average household currently spends around $1,800 on energy bills a year. But many people don’t realise they have a choice of where they buy their energy from and that prices can vary considerably between energy companies. If you live in Victoria, Queensland or South Australia your energy market has been deregulated which means you have the freedom to switch to the energy retailer who offers you the best deal.

If you live elsewhere in Australia, you should still contact your electricity and gas provider to check that you are on the best plan for your needs.

After all, energy is a commodity, which means the electricity and gas you buy from one retailer is exactly the same as you would get from another. Yet we estimate that up to 50% of households are paying the highest possible price for electricity and gas, which means they are paying much more than they could be without getting any benefit in return!

Switching electricity and gas supplliers is not risky. Most retailers are large, trusted companies and all of them are regulated to ensure standards of service. Using GoSwitch makes switching energy retailers easy and will only take a few minutes of your time. The service is free to use, and you are under no obligation to switch energy companies when using our website.

All you need to find the best rate on electricity and gas for your household is your last bill in your hand and to go to www.GoSwitch.com.au.
