Get The Power To Switch Electricity Plans The Smart Way

BEWARE Electricity Plan Minefield!

Australia is in the middle of an electricity plan minefield! Where Aussie householders do not necessarily have all the knowledge, to be in a position to make the best choice for low electricity costs.

Commonly an electricity retailer makes you offers down the phone, which are not always bursting with clarity, but more with the pressure of:

Switch Now! We Can Help You!

Well we say switching electricity plans this way is fraught with DANGER! Simply put there are far to many 'electricity plan mines' out there, waiting for you to easily tread upon!

So let us explain a few of them, so you can walk safely:

• The electricity retailer may be marking up the distribution network price, before offering you a discount! So 25% off one retailers offer may not equal 25% off another's
• It may NOT be 100% clear to you the electricity retailer is going to switch your tariff type. You may be on a tiered rate, then unknowingly get switched to a TOU [Time Of Use] tariff. This will for 100% sure change your costs based on usage
• Is there going to be higher daily service fees? This does not make much of a difference at the end of the day, unless you have a power bill for only a few hundred dollars
• Will you get stung for any ETC's [Early Termination Charges] from your current electricity retailer? You new electricity retailer may be willing to pay you the cost of this fee
• Agreeing to a market electricity plan offer for two years compared to a standard electricity plan offer, can often come with a bonus payment. For example $100 credit or a $50 voucher

Besides all of the above being very important 'Need To Know' facts when switching electricity retailer, one fact is SIMPLY MISSING! This is:

What Electricity Tariff Is Best Suited To Your Home?

And what we really mean by this is:

What Electricity Tariff Is Going To SAVE YOU THE MOST!

Of course when based on changes to your household's future usage. Once you know the BEST TYPE of electricity tariff to suit, then you can go about and get the BEST DISCOUNTS off your usage costs. Aim for 25% at least!

So firstly you need to know what types of electricity tariff are available in Australia. Currently there are three types of electricity tariff:

• Flat rate where you are charged the same for each kWh ie 25 cents
• Tiered / block rate where you are charged different amounts depending on your ongoing usage 1^st 1000 kWh @ 24 cents, 2^nd 750 kWh @ 25 cents 3^rd 30 cents thereafter. Though often now this 3^rd tier may cost less than the initial tier
• And finally the famous Time Of Use tariff, where you are charged differently depending on when [time of day] you are using the power. This tariff has in the past famously been marketed as a way to reduce costs! Though plenty of research shows differently, we say beware young families and the elderly

So if you are not 100% familiar with the above electricity tariff types, you need to be! OK so once you understand the way each electricity tariff works, back to that question:

What Electricity Tariff Is Best Suited To Your Home?

What Electricity Tariff Is Going To SAVE YOU THE MOST!

You will be in a position to know if the TOU tariff is costing you 15% more than a flat rate tariff.
