How to compare gas plans
Gas plans are fairly similar to electricity plans in design and layout. As such, the process of comparing gas plans is quite similar to that of comparing electricity plans. The only real difference is in some of the terminology used.
Keeping this in mind, there are a few key areas to consider when comparing gas plans. These are:
- The usage rates: Represented as cents per megajoule (c/MJ), this refers to the cost you’ll pay for using gas in the home.
- The supply rates: Represented as a charge per day, this refers to the cost you’ll pay for being connected to the gas mains.
- Conditional discounts: This refers to any discounts that may be applicable on the plan if a certain condition is met, e.g. paying on time.
- Contract length: This refers to how long your plan will be valid for. Benefit periods may also play into this if you have a discount or fixed rates.
- Fees and charges: This refers to any additional charges that may occur as a result of an action, such as late payment, credit card payment, opting for paper bills or connection and disconnection fees when moving your home energy.
Understanding which factors are most important to your household will help to make the comparison process run smoothly. For example, if your household is only using a small amount of gas each month or quarter then you may find it more worthwhile to look for gas plans with lower supply rates, as these would be making the largest portion of your bill. For a high-usage gas household however, a plan with cheaper usage rates would probably pay off more than a lower supply charge.
It should also be noted that, just like your electricity contract, a 10-business day ‘cooling off’ period applies to your gas contract. This means you’re entitled to change your mind and end the contract without having to pay any fees, if you aren’t happy with the plan you’ve chosen or find a better deal elsewhere.
Find the best gas prices available
No-one likes paying more than they need to on their gas bills. But, how do you go about finding the best gas prices for your household? Most times when you are comparing gas plans, you’ll be looking at the estimated monthly, quarterly or annual figure, but it could pay to look beyond this and investigate what your everyday usage and supply charges will be. These are the costs that ultimately decide what you’ll be forking out come your billing due date, so understanding these could reduce your chances of a nasty bill shock.
