How are energy costs calculated?

Depending on the terms of your plan, your energy costs may be calculated based on a single/flat rate or on a time-of-use tariff2.

Single/flat rate plans typically charge the same rate regardless of the time of day or night that the energy is used.

Time-of-use tariffs, on the other hand, apply different rates to energy used during peak and off-peak periods.

Your energy supplier usually multiples your energy use (measured in kilowatt hours) by the relevant rate according to your plan3.

Documents required to get started

If you choose to switch to a new energy provider, Compare Club’s expert team will take care of all your paperwork. But there’s a few things we might need from you:

Recent energy bill

This will contain important information like your current energy usage, tariff rates, meter number, and account details.

Personal identification

A driver's licence, passport, or utility bill in your name may be required to verify your identity.

Bank account details

You'll need to provide your bank account details if you choose to set up direct debit payments with your new energy supplier.

Top tips to save on energy and gas

Compare Club can help find you a cheaper energy rate. But you can supercharge your savings with a few simple easy energy-saving tips:

  • Choose appliances with high energy-efficiency ratings. They use less energy and will likely save you money in the long run.
  • Inspect your doors and windows for air leaks and seal them with weatherstripping or caulking. This will help to reduce the need for heating or cooling.
  • If you have an electric water heater, lower the temperature and insulate the tank to minimise heat loss and reduce the energy needed for reheating.
  • Installing thermal curtains or blinds can also help to keep your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer without the need for electricity.
  • Check that your fridge is set to between three to five degrees Celsius for optimal eco-friendly operation.
  • Ask us about upgrading your household appliances to the most energy efficient option. You may be eligible for a rebate as part of the Federal Government Household Upgrade scheme

Electricity and Gas FAQs
Here are some of the most frequently asked questions we receive about electricity and gas:
It’s easy – just get in touch with the experts at Compare Club. We’ll compare all the rates offered by our network of energy suppliers and different electricity and gas plans. And if you choose to switch to a new provider, we’ll even arrange the connection and send you any relevant information.
While gas is typically cheaper per unit than electricity, a single unit of electricity generally contains more energy than a single unit of gas. That means you’ll likely use more units of gas than electricity to power the same appliance. How the final costs balance out really depends on the gas and electricity rates you’re paying.
We bring together a network of energy suppliers and compare their offered rates on different electricity and gas plans. We put the power in your hands to decide which price is the best and provide the switching service free of charge. You may be asked to provide some documents, but we will arrange the connection and send you any relevant information. It is easy!
At Compare Club, we do not charge any fees for the use of our comparison tools or for speaking to our energy consultants. However, your current supplier might have contractual terms that include exit fees.
Comparing suppliers and arranging the switch does not take long, but unless you have a smart-meter it can be up to three months before the switch takes place. Usually, you will need a final meter reading to close out your existing account, which tends to occur every three months.

If you are further along in your billing cycle, then the switch may happen earlier. It may also be quicker if you have a smart meter installed, which provides up-to-the-minute meter readings.
Yes, they do. Depending on the rates set by your state’s suppliers, electricity prices can vary significantly. This is due to different sources of energy generation and investment in infrastructure, as well as supply and demand.

There are several factors that influence prices in the short term and long term. Some of these factors are out of consumers’ hands, which is why the ability to compare suppliers is such a powerful money-saving tool.
By comparing energy plans, you can easily find which suppliers are cheapest on the market, allowing you to make the switch and save big on your electricity and gas bill.

People choose to switch for several reasons, but mostly it is to find a more affordable price. Other reasons include moving to a new house, adding a renewable energy source, or because you are not happy with the service from your current supplier.
Due to the government’s easing of laws regarding competition policy in energy markets, Australia has seen a mass increase in suppliers, meaning greater competition and more competitive rates for Australian consumers. In general, the more suppliers there are in the market, the lower the tariffs.
A tariff is the amount you are charged for energy as part of your contract. You are likely to see two types of tariffs on your bill: a supply charge and a variable (or usage) charge. The supply charge is a type of service charge that covers the cost of supplying energy to your house. The variable charge changes depending on how much energy you use.
This will depend on your solar scheme. Regulations vary from state to state and between suppliers; your solar feed-in tariff may be linked to your address or to the account with your supplier.

Contact your supplier to find out if you can bring your feed-in tariff to a new supplier. When comparing different plans, you may even find that a different supplier offers a better deal on feed-in tariffs.
Of course, we can! Energy costs are a major component of most businesses and can be one of your biggest expenses. It makes sense to compare energy plans so you can find a more affordable supplier and reduce your overall spending.
