Why should I Switch my energy retailer?
Simply put - Switching increases competition in the energy market. Switching power companies causes retailers to offer better deals to retain existing and to attract new customers and it definitely makes them think twice about increasing your prices.
If every household in New Zealand switched their power company onto the best deal available to them, we would save over $50 million dollars per year. That's $50 million in the back pockets of New Zealanders - not the energy companies.
All energy retailers count on the fact that most people will not look to switch when there is only a minor difference. However, every time we let our provider away with a $10 per month increase, they make another $120 per year - that's around $100 million across the country. Now if everyone switched for a $10 per month saving, then that money swings back in our favour.
Also, switching power companies has never been easier. In just 5 minutes you can compare and switch retailers now. The team at Switchnow will manage your switch to completion with both your out-going and incoming retailer and keep you informed throughout - in fact, we'll finish the job in just a few days. Fast, easy, free and very effective.
