Brighton East electricity and gas connections

Your personal information is required to pre-fill your utility connection application. We will ask for your full name, mobile phone number and email address. Once you have chosen your provider and plan, you'll also be asked for your ID details, date of birth and address. These are required by the energy companies to process your application.

We do not disclose or sell your personal information to anyone, and collecting these details is for the sole purpose of arranging and facilitating your utility connection (as per the Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1988). BeMoved Privacy Policy.

Your main switch is located in your fuse or meter box. Depending on your property, your meter box could be:

• on an outside wall
• in your garage
• in your hallway
• in a kitchen cupboard

In your meter box there'll be a number of switches. Look for the one that has the "main switch" label. Some properties also have a hot water switch - if yours does, you'll need to look for that one too.

Flick the main switch (and hot water switch if you have one) to the off position (this might be shown as an | for on and O for off) to allow your electricity connection to take place.

Once your power company has confirmed your electricity is connected, switch the main switch and hot water switch back on.
