Compare electricity, gas and internet providers for your Sunshine West move

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.

The process for a rental property is the same as other properties. Simply fill in the form, choosing the address, connection date, energy provider and plan, and provide a few personal details. From there, we'll get your connection sorted!
