If you’re looking to get a better deal on your energy, you’ve come to the right place. Mozo makes it easier than ever to compare energy plans in your local area and find out how much you can save by switching.
How can I compare energy prices?
Mozo compares over 1,100 energy plans from 22 energy providers around the country to help you find the cheapest gas and electricity plan in your area. Our free energy comparison service allows you to see a range of plans from Australia’s leading providers online, so that you can find and switch to the most competitive energy deal.
Comparing energy providers and plans is the best way to save money on rising gas and electricity bills. With our comparison tool, it is now easier than ever to find out how much you can save by switching energy providers. Mozo can help you save hundreds of dollars a year by switching energy providers, or switching to a more competitive plan with your current provider.
Energy providers often change their pricing and plans, so if you’ve never compared your provider before, chances are there is a much better deal out there! Your energy costs are due to a combination of factors, such as where you live, your usage charges and your plan options. We help you compare energy prices in minutes so you can find and switch to the best deal in your area. The exact number of energy providers that you can choose from will depend on where you live, as different providers service different areas within Australia.
To find the cheapest energy plan in your area, simply enter your postcode so that we can see which deals are available near you. Gas and electricity prices vary by region so by telling us where you are, we can look up which providers service your area. If you have a recent bill handy, you will be able to improve the accuracy of your results by entering your actual usage. Once you’ve told us where you're located, we’ll show you a list of all the best energy plans that are on offer in your suburb. When you’ve found an energy deal that suits you best, simply click on the offer and we’ll transfer you to the provider’s website where you can switch to a cheaper plan directly online or over the phone.
What is Mozo?
Mozo is a free, independently owned comparison website that helps Australians save money on their everyday finances.
We launched in 2008 and first made our name by demystifying retail banking and helping Australians get better deals on home loans, credit cards, savings and other financial products. Now, we’re turning to the energy market to help consumers make better, more informed choices regarding their gas and electricity services.
How is Mozo different to other energy comparison sites?
On Mozo you’ll get to:
- Compare a wider range of energy plans and providers: Unlike many other comparison sites, which will only show you energy plans from a commercially restricted list of energy retailers, at Mozo we show comparisons of the providers and plans readily available in your area, whether we’ve got a commercial relationship or not.
- Get instant estimates: You want cheaper energy bills right? On Mozo you can instantly see the average price estimates for your postcode and dial up the accuracy of your comparison by entering more info about your energy usage.
- Stay anonymous: You’ve come to our site to compare energy plans, not hand over your personal information. You don’t need to fork over your email address or phone number to use our service, we allow you to shop for energy price comparisons completely anonymously.
- Read customer reviews: Often the cheapest price isn’t always what you’re looking for in your energy provider. Mozo publishes energy provider reviews on our site so that you can see what other customers are saying before signing up.
- Buy direct: We don’t get in your way once you’ve found the best deal for your home. Simply click on the ‘go to site’ button for our promoted suppliers and you’ll be directly connected to the energy provider’s website where you can sign up for your great new energy deal.
Do you compare all energy plans in all Australian states?
We compare residential electricity and gas plans in Australian states where there is a deregulated energy market. This includes Canberra, New South Wales, South Australia, South East Queensland and Victoria. The number of energy providers that are compared will depend on where your property is located as different energy providers offer their services in different areas.
We do not compare energy providers in the Northern Territory, Tasmania or Western Australia at this time but rest assured, as soon as the market is deregulated in these regions, Mozo will be there to help you compare energy plans and save.
While our database covers over 1,100 energy plans from 22 energy providers, we cannot guarantee we compare every available energy plan in the market. We focus on the energy plans for your area that are currently available for new customers. You could be on a plan that is cheaper than the ones that are now available.
Mozo sources the data it uses from publicly available sources or directly from energy providers themselves. Mozo uses its best efforts to update this information whenever prices and deals change to ensure that Mozo’s comparison engine reflects the latest pricing information.
I want a cheap energy plan. How can I compare energy prices?
There is just one question between you and finding out which energy providers have the cheapest energy deals for you. All we need is your postcode and we can tell you the average price estimates for your home.
Compare energy plans in:
How accurate are the results?
The more info about your energy usage you give us, the more accurate your results will be. The initial results will be based on your suburb’s average usage but you can dial up the accuracy of your results by entering additional information about your household and current energy usage.
To get the most accurate price comparison you will need a copy of your most recent energy bill so that you can enter in details of your current plan cost and household energy usage.
Do the price estimates include discounts?
Yes, we can include discounts in price estimates. You can filter your search to show you results with or without discounts such as pay on time discounts and direct debit discounts.
Some energy providers will have other discounts such as pensioner concessions, low income rebates or special offers. We do not include these discounts in our price comparisons.
What if I am moving and don’t have a recent bill?
We can still give you an estimate of the energy costs based on the average in your area for your household size and ability to make use of offers like pay on time discounts.
Simply enter the postcode or suburb where you will be moving to and start comparing plans.
Do you compare renewable energy plans?
Yes, our database contains providers that source their energy from renewable sources such as solar, wind and hydro electricity. Our results will detail what percentage of energy is sourced from renewable sources for each plan.
Do you compare solar plans?
We compare plans that are available in your area if you have solar panels already installed, but if you are looking to install new solar panels and are wondering how much you will save, we can’t help at this time. We suggest you check out the Clean Energy Council website which has a free guide to buying and installing solar panels.
Where can I learn about saving energy and lowering my usage?
In addition to our energy cost comparison tool, we’ve got a range of information on our site from helpful energy guides to energy saving tips. If there is something you’d particularly like us to cover, get in touch with us here.
How does Mozo make money?
Mozo makes money by helping energy providers connect with customers, like you, who are looking for a great energy deal. Most importantly our service is totally free to use and it is the energy providers competing for your business that pay Mozo, not you!
Mozo earns a fee when you click through on a ‘go to site’ or 'check it out' button and are taken to an energy provider’s web site and continue your purchase. These placements are all marked ‘promoted’ or ‘sponsored’ so its very transparent and what you see is what you get!
Mozo may also earn revenue when energy providers purchase display advertising on our site or when we help them use the all the great data we’ve collected.
