Before you decide
Get ready in three simple steps
Bring a recent bill
It shows your postcode, current plan and how much energy you use.
Tell us what you want to improve
You might want lower bills, a more comfortable home, new equipment or a plan for several upgrades.
Check before committing
Confirm the full price, available rebates, approvals, installer credentials and warranty before you sign.
Compare what you pay now
Compare electricity and gas separately
Electricity and gas bills work differently, so each comparison uses the right information for that fuel.
Compare electricity plans
Enter your postcode and yearly electricity use. For a more detailed result, add a detailed meter-data file, called a NEM12 file. It is processed on your device.
- Household and small business plans
- Include solar, battery and controlled load use
- See how each estimated cost was calculated
Compare gas plans
Enter a full year of gas use in megajoules (MJ), or use a recent bill with the billing dates. We adjust the estimate for seasonal heating and the pricing published for each plan.
- Mains gas plans only, not bottled LPG
- We may ask which gas network supplies your home
- See important concessions and plan conditions

Which assessment is right for your home?
Building or designing a new home? NatHERS assesses the plans. Already living in the home? An assessor can visit the property. Some New South Wales projects also need BASIX.
NatHERS design assessment
We assess the plans before construction to estimate the home's thermal performance. Where required, we also complete the NatHERS Whole of Home rating.
