You will automatically receive a final bill from your current power company within 10 days, and your new power company will take over your billing from there!

  Switchme is a 100% free service to use! If you are not fixed in to a contract with your current energy retailer, there will be no switching fee!
• Can I get a comparison for my business electricity?
  Yes! Switchme can also provide pricing and comparisons for smalls and also large commercial businesses!
  If your company is billed by a Time of Use metering system, the Switchme business consultants can provide a report detailing all your options and offer advice on which offers would better suit your company's electricity requirements!

• Will my power get cut off if I switch electricity companies?
  No! Your power will not be interrupted during the switching process! You will simply receive a final bill from your current energy supplier and your new supplier will take off from there! Your electricity will remain on throughout the whole switch!
• Will I have to pay a bond?
  All power companies run credit checks and you must meet their credit criteria to avoid being declined or charged a bond. If you are required to pay a bond, most power companies will charge no more than approximately $150 which will be refunded to you.
• Why should I consider changing power companies?
  Electricity prices are constantly on the increase, and not many people realise that there can be as much as $50 per month difference between the cheapest and most expensive energy retailers! New Zealand has around 15 different power companies, and with so many companies to choose from, comparing all prices and plans can be complicated and time consuming. Switchme makes it easy for you to make the right choice. Why should you pay up to $50 a month more than your next door neighbour for the exact same product? Want to compare Auckland power companies?
