How long will it take to switch providers?
Once you’ve confirmed your details with Deal Expert, your switch to a new energy provider typically takes 3–4 weeks, depending on the provider and your state. Finding a great energy deal and confirming with Deal Expert only takes a few minutes. After that, you’ll have a 10-business-day ‘cooling-off’ period. If you change your mind during this time, you can cancel the switch through Deal Expert with no changes to your current plan. Plus, your new provider will take care of all the paperwork, making the process smooth and hassle-free.
How do I know this company is above board if I've never heard of them?
The Australian Energy Regulator ensures that all energy suppliers follow the same rules and regulations, giving every Australian a fair opportunity to find a provider that suits their needs. This is especially reassuring for those considering smaller or lesser-known companies, as they are held to the same legal standards and can be held accountable if something goes wrong.
Do I need to cancel my Direct Debit?
When you decide to close your account with your current provider, the company will send you a final bill and the company cancels the direct debit after taking the final payment. If there are any funds in credit on your previous plan, they should notify you so they can transfer these back into your bank account or send me the money via cheque.
Are there any hidden costs?
No, our service is completely free for all customers. This covers everything from visiting our website or calling our call centre in Australia to Deal Expert providers online at the click of a button. We are here to provide you with competitive deals and services.
How does Solar work?
Solar panels are made up of many solar cells that convert sunlight directly into electricity. A photovoltaic (PV) module is a connected assembly of solar cells—typically arranged in a 6×10 layout, though some may contain up to 72 cells. Solar panels generate electricity when sunlight hits the array. The amount of electricity produced depends on the intensity of sunlight and the location where the panels are installed.
When I switch providers will my gas or electricity be interrupted?
There will not be any interruption to your supply of electricity or gas. This is because they will continue to be supplied by the same energy distributor. All that really changes is the name of the energy retailer that issues your energy bills.
