Before you switch
Small to medium businesses
Take time out to ensure you’ve chosen the best energy offer for your business.
Because comparing energy offers and pricing can be quite complex, here's some questions you should think about when choosing an offer that’s best for your business.
Not all energy offers are the same. So if you’re thinking of changing energy companies, give us a call first.
If you have any questions about prices, or a quote you’ve been given, please call us on 1300 730 533 or email us.
Think carefully before you sign ‘on the spot’
Take the time to read your energy contract carefully before signing. Always ensure you are getting all the information you need, since a good business decision is an informed one. Be certain that the deal you are being offered is the best available for you before signing, as energy contracts can be quite complex and confusing.
Compare ‘apples with apples’ when it comes to ‘total’ price
Some advertised prices are actually not ‘all inclusive’. At first they may seem lower but you may find that certain components are not included. Ensure that all quotes you compare contain the same components such as; Government approved compulsory charges; energy rates; network charges; loss factors; metering charges; service to property charges and GST.
At Origin, there are no surprises and there are no hidden costs. All costs are covered and included up front in the price of your contract.
Make sure “estimated” savings are accurate
Make certain you understand the full cost of your electricity and gas. This will avoid unclear quotes based on loose estimates or quotes that claim guaranteed prices that do not account for unexpected CPI increases. At Origin, we can offer you a contract that always matches standard published rates for your area.
To help you better understand electricity and gas contracts with us, we can take you through the process step by step. This will ensure all the components are included and make calculations and comparisons much clearer. Simply call us on 1300 730 533.
Do your homework on the company before you sign any contract
It pays to learn about the company offering you the contract. How committed are they to customer service? How well do they understand your business needs? Have they earned a reputation in the market that warrants your trust? Do they offer assistance to help your business become more sustainable?
Today over 4.6 million residential and business customers, from small to large, metropolitan to rural, have chosen to partner with us for their energy needs. As Australia’s number one green energy provider, we’re working with our customers, communities and our people towards a positive future.
Before you sign any contract, call us first
Before you switch, give us a call to compare offers. There are lots of offers and fine print out there. So if you’re thinking of changing energy suppliers, give us a call first. We can compare what you’ve been offered with what you currently have. Because sometimes things aren’t quite as black and white as they seem - or green for that matter.
Call us on 1300 730 533 or email us to compare your energy offer.
