Best Electricity Discount For All Australians

Bargain Your Best Power Deal

Did you know you can get up to 20% and MORE off your electricity usage and service fees? Well not everyone does, it appears.

Some of our METER AND BILLING ANALYSIS clients, are often getting 0% discount off their electricity bills.

These clients are on what is known as a standard agreement, with little discount. 

Great news for the electricity retailers, where the client is paying top dollar! What ever happened to the electricity retailer's Loyalty Officer?

It is the electricity retailer's 'market offers' that have the best discounts.

So what happens when you notice you have had little discount over the years and you could be saving far more? Well of course you are going to switch electricity retailers. As your existing retailer has not really done you to many favours up to this point.

Now before you jump ship, think about the bargaining power you have with your existing electricity retailer. If you are a big power user like some of our Sydney clients, then this Pay On Time discount, can even be bigger than what they advertise. 20% plus is a lot of money, especially when off a big power bill!

Play Your Cards Right To Win!

Bigger because when you mention the word SWITCH to your existing electricity retailer, their Client Retention Officer will be calling you 24/7 to keep your business. 

Now is the time you play one offer against the other and certainly give your existing retailer a hard time about the lack of loyalty they have so far shown. I mean they could have alerted you to the fact there were discounts! What could you have saved? Yes you are not happy!

Play your cards right and after a ten minute discussion you could get up to 28% discount with a $100 credit off your next bill. 

We have a few METER AND BILLING ANALYSIS clients receiving well over 20%.

Remember no electricity retailer wants you to jump ship! And there lack of loyalty in the past is your prime bargaining chip!

Good luck!

Are You Being Screwed By Your Electricity Retailer?

This is an interesting question which unfortunately Aussie householders cannot answer. Simply due to them not having a clue about their current electricity billing, due to not spending anytime looking at their electricity bills! 

It seems 'Paid and filed' is the norm and then to await the next electricity bill.

Great for us, as it keeps us busy with our ELECTRICITY METER & BILLING ANALYSIS SERVICE. 

Though the question still arises. We would have to say for you to know if your not being screwed, you would have to know:

• If you are on a tariff suited to your usage patterns, ie Time Of Use V Flat rate or tiered rate
• If your tariff cost is the best you can get, with or without any discounts

Now what electricity retailers will not do is call you! To offer you a better deal. It is up to you to ask for a better deal or do some homework on other retailers offers.

Sometimes simply a phone call to the electricity retailer will result in a 20% discount or more off usage charges. 

You importantly need to makesure the initial cost of the price per kWh is not being marked up first though, as this does occur! A little bit of Bad Faith we would have to say....

Now whilst some of you may think 20% is not a lot, it can be. A large home in Sydney recently analysed, could have:

SAVED $4800 Off electricity bills over six months

Simply if they had had a 20% discount applied! In fact there was no discount at all being offered and this is by one of the big four electricity retailers. Bad Faith again we would have to say, when this home was spending considerable funds on their electricity costs for their home.

So what do you need to do is homework! Or call us to analyse your electricity bills for you and get you a better deal.

Visit our ELECTRICITY METER & BILLING ANALYSIS SERVICE page for all the information.

Now whilst the electricity retailer is not obviously trying to screw you, they could be offering you better deals on autopilot a bit similar to what some of the mobile phone carriers do. 

We know for sure the electricity retailer's Client Loyalty Officer is often away from his desk! But what about that Client Retention Office whom hounds the hell out of you, when you mention you are looking for a switch for a better deal. Funny that!

7 Important Facts When Switching Electricity Retailer

OK so you are looking for a better electricity deal? So what do you really NEED TO KNOW to fully understand an electricity retailer's offer?

To make the best and correct choice for your home, you will need to make an educated decision based on certain facts.

So let us look in detail at what these 7 important facts are:

1. How are you going to be charged for the electricity you use, meaning is the tariff a flat rate, a tiered rate or a Time Of Use TOU rate. Certain tariff types will work better for some homes dependent on when the power is used and the amount of power used.
2. What are you going to be charged for the electricity you use in cents?
3. What is the % of discount OFF the usage for paying on time POT? Is the retailer starting with the same network base price? Is there a penalty for paying late other than the loss of the POT discount?
4. Is there a credit for switching to a market offer such as a two year agreement? Some retailers offer a $100 credit for a two year agreement.
5. What are you going to be charged for the daily service costs?
6. Are there any additional transaction fees, such a direct debit or credit card fees.
7. Are there any other fees such as paper bill fees?

Knowing the above 7 important facts when comparing electricity retailer's offers, will allow you to make an educated decision.

We would further recommend you get the electricity retailer to send you an example bill. Electricity bills differ greatly in Australia, due to a lack of regulation and billing format.

Some electricity bills are simply very difficult for anyone to understand! Even we have issues and disturbingly in some cases so does the electricity retailer's customer support desk!

An electricity bill with no total kWhs or total days on the bill, is surely a good start for a failing electricity billing system. And an electricity bill with twenty-four lines of data is not an easy read either, or one with coding that relates to nothing!

Electricity billing issues such as this are common place, all often discovered during our ELECTRICITY METERING AND BILLING SERVICE.

Taking note of the above 7 important facts when comparing electricity retailer's offer, will help you to make the best choice.

Not forgetting importantly, most electricity retailer's will pay off the other's early termination charges ETC, to get you on board.

Any electricity retailer switch will always involve a special meter read, which at the time of writing costs around $55 in NSW.
