How it works

1. Sign up

Create an account and share your energy data so we can find a cheaper electricity plan for you. You don’t pay to auto-switch and there’s no ongoing paperwork – it’s a no brainer.

2. Switch and forget

We’ll switch you to the best available plan from our panel of 13 retailers, and handle everything from there. We monitor your usage and automatically switch your plan if there’s a cheaper deal for you.

3. Save 20% guaranteed

You’ll save 20% on electricity bills in your first 12 months, and we’ll continue to keep you on competitive plans.

20% Savings Guaranteed

*You’ll save 20% in your first 12 months, compared to your previous year’s electricity costs, or we’ll make up the difference with gift cards up to a maximum of $1,000 for each property you sign-up, provided your energy bill for the past year is under $5,000. After your first twelve months we’ll continue to keep you on competitive plans.

Open Energy explained

(CDR) for energy, or open energy, allows you to access and share your energy data with accredited third parties to access better deals on electricity and gas bills. Open energy is strictly regulated by the Australian government.

Still got questions?

Verify tradie credentials

Check that your tradie is licensed and experienced with your specific type of system. Professional installation by qualified technicians is crucial for warranty validity and system longevity, making this step vital for protecting your investment.

Clear access paths

Identify the optimal location for both the indoor and outdoor units, considering factors like direct sunlight, airflow obstruction, noise impact on neighbours, and accessibility for maintenance.

Proper unit placement ensures top-notch performance, reduces operating costs, and minimises potential conflicts with neighbours over noise or aesthetic concerns.

Review installation qoute details

Confirm all aspects of the installation quote, including warranty coverage, installation timeline, and any additional costs for brackets, pipe covers, or electrical work. Understanding all costs upfront prevents surprise expenses and ensures you’re getting all the services needed for a proper installation.
