Question 1

Can I use different providers for energy and gas?

Accepted Answer

Yes, absolutely. When you go through the flow and choose services to connect, you'll be able to choose the same, or different providers for energy and gas.

Question 2

How much notice do I need to give to disconnect at my old address?

Accepted Answer

It's recommended to give a week's notice, where possible.

Question 3

Why do I need to provide personal details?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

How much notice do I need to give to connect electricity and gas at my new address?

It depends on the provider you choose, but it's always recommended to give at least a few days notice where you can. It's worth remembering that electricity and gas can only be connected on weekdays (not weekends or public holidays).

Question 5

I've been approved for a rental property. How do I connect electricity?
