How to Compare and Switch Gas Plans in QLD

The right gas plan for you isn’t necessarily tied to the lowest price. Ideally, you’ll want a plan that fits your usage habits, budget, and needs.

Start by doing a thorough assessment of your current gas usage patterns and needs, including seasonal variance, appliance usage, and budget. After you’ve gathered this information, start comparing all of the available gas providers and plans in your area – consider factors like pricing structures, discounts, and contract types.

Once you've made a decision, initiating the switching process involves contacting your chosen provider, providing necessary details, signing contracts, and cancelling your current plan.

If this sounds like too much work for you, let our team at Electricity Monster handle this process for you. We’ll perform a serviceability check on your property to determine what gas rates are available to you. We’ll compare plans within our partnered network and get you the best deal we have available. Whether you’re moving to a new property and aren’t sure whether you have a gas connection or are experiencing high gas bills and want to switch providers, we’ve got you covered. Have questions or need a gas connection fast? Our energy experts can help. Call us today.

Is Bundling Worth It?

Bundling your gas with internet or electricity is relatively popular among Australian consumers looking for convenience and potential savings. By consolidating your services with one provider, you can enjoy a variety of benefits, including exclusive discounts and the ease of managing everything in one place. However, it's important to consider whether bundling actually provides the best value for your household. While there are clear advantages, there are also drawbacks.

Ultimately, determining whether bundling is truly worth the value depends on your specific needs and circumstances.

Convenience

Bundling utilities often means having a single point of contact for all your questions and concerns. This can save time and reduce the frustration of dealing with multiple providers.

Simplified Monitoring

Many providers offer tools and apps that allow customers to monitor their usage, pay bills, and request support. This is great for customers who like to monitor their consumption and identify areas where they can save.

Bundled Service Discounts

Providers often offer exclusive discounts for customers who bundle multiple services, making these packages more financially attractive.

Origin Energy currently offers a monthly discount when you bundle internet with gas.

The Cons of Bundling

Switching all your bundled services to a new retailer can be more complex and time-consuming than switching a single service. These limitations can make it harder to take advantage of better deals as they are released.

The pricing for bundled services may not always be the most cost-effective for each individual service. In some cases, the price of the bundle may be higher than the combined cost of individual services from different providers.

If you’re looking to bundle, you’ll want to contact our electricity and gas experts at Electricity Monster. We’ll analyse your bill, provide recommendations from our partnered retailers, and perform a serviceability check on your property so you can see the exact rates you are eligible for.

How to Read Your Gas Bill

Your gas bill is more than just a record of your usage and payments – it's a valuable tool for understanding your gas consumption. Analysing key areas like supply and usage charges, fees, and your tariff structure can help you anticipate how changes in your usage patterns can impact your overall costs. With this in mind, you can make adjustments to your usage habits or switch to a different provider with more favourable pricing structures.

Usage Charges

Usage charges are indicative of the cost of the gas you've consumed during your current billing cycle. These charges can vary significantly between providers and plans.

Tariff Structure

Whether the plan is a single-rate tariff or includes peak and off-peak rates. Understanding the tariff structure can help you anticipate gas costs based on your usage.

Supply Charges

Supply charges cover the cost of delivering gas to your household. While these charges may seem small compared to usage charges, they can add up over time.

Contract Terms and Fees

When you sign up for a new gas plan, your provider will often add contract terms and fees that are applicable under certain conditions. Some of these include:

Contract Length

Whether the plan has a fixed-term contract and the duration of the contract period.
