Comparison Service

Electricity Monster is a centralised comparison service. It does not, however, compare all energy offers from all Energy Retailers. We do, however display the best rates on our website that we have chosen to make available for that electricity network & tariff specifically selected by our team. Our Energy Retailer partners may have other offers available in the market that may be better than what we can offer.

The service is provided by a comparison of rates and/or supply charges. The rates shown by our providers are all inclusive discounts, meaning there may be terms associated with those offers. We will disclose this to you on the call and will be clearly stated in your welcome pack.

The order of the retailers provided on our website is displayed after a calculation is performed and is ranked from the cheapest provider based on their peak rates and supply charges. Peak 2 rates are not included in these calculations. We provide this list, based on all-inclusive discounts. You must note that there may be conditions on receiving this specific quoted rate. The rate is displayed after these conditional discounts have been subtracted from the base line peak rate. Average Usage: 8000 kWh per annum Low Usage: 4000 kWh per annum, off peak usage is estimated at 25% of usage.

Estimated annual charges and savings are based on standard incumbent retails standing offers, or if available the electricity or gas company you have selected your with. These savings may not be a true comparison as your situation may be varied. Such as you may be getting discounts from your current company we are not aware of at the time of comparison online. Please confirm all current charges and rates on your recent energy or gas bills yourself. Electricity Monster can only quote based on the rates and assumptions we have, please make us aware if you have a different situation. We welcome you to use our website to conduct your own analysis. We encourage our customers to ring Electricity Monster in order to receive a more accurate quote based on your personal usage.
