- 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.

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?
