Power bills on the rise: here’s how to take back control | Canberra CityNews
Many Australians stick with the same electricity plan for years, missing out on savings they could easily find through GoSwitch.

Power prices are rising across much of Australia. In this supplied advertising feature, energy comparison site GoSwitch says that for households and small businesses, using a trusted energy comparison service is key to keeping costs under control.

Check out GoSwitch, the go-to way to compare energy deals.

The go-to way to compare energy deals is GoSwitch, Australia’s leading free energy comparison service.

As the preferred method for finding better offers, it helps match plans to your needs and cut your energy costs.

To help you take control of your energy bills, here’s how you can start cutting costs with GoSwitch.

Check what your habits are costing

Your electricity setup should reflect how you actually use power. If your routine has changed, your current plan might not be the best fit, and you could be paying more than necessary.

GoSwitch helps you compare electricity plans using details about your household and usage. This helps match you with options that suit your routine, so you’re only paying for what you use and nothing extra.

Compare your current plan against new offers

Many Australians stick with the same electricity plan for years, missing out on savings they could easily find through GoSwitch. Retailers often change their pricing and offers, but GoSwitch helps you stay on top of the latest deals with just a few quick steps.

By entering your postcode and answering a few questions about your home and usage, you can compare electricity pricing in minutes. You’ll quickly see how your current plan compares to updated offers and whether switching could lower your bills.

Switch before prices go up again

Energy providers can increase rates at any time, especially when discounts expire. Even if your usage hasn’t changed, your bill might be higher than it needs to be.

GoSwitch makes it easy to compare electricity plans from trusted Australian retailers. If there’s a better deal based on your usage, switching is simple. Plans are presented with updated rates and other key details, ensuring clarity on what you’re signing up for. 

You can also compare gas plans through GoSwitch to check if your current deal still fits your needs. Reviewing both electricity and gas together provides a more comprehensive view of your setup and helps identify additional ways to save.

Set up your next connection with a better plan

If you’re moving, it’s a great time to review your energy setup. With GoSwitch, you can connect to electricity and gas at your new address and compare plans that suit your move-in timeline and household needs.

By factoring in your location, energy habits, and move-in date, GoSwitch shows competitive options from trusted retailers that match your needs. The platform also makes it easier to arrange same-day connections where available, with everything handled in one place.

Compare and start saving today

The way to take control of rising energy bills is by using GoSwitch to avoid being caught on an outdated or overpriced plan. It’s a smart way to stay across better offers as they become available.
