For non-urgent utility connections, electricity can take anywhere from 1 day to 3 days. For urgent same-day moves, it can be connected within a few hours. It also depends on the cut-off time of the energy providers and distributors. It can be quick for Victorian and smart meter customers as it can be energised remotely, whereas the analog meter may require physical inspection. Gas connections, on the other hand, can take between 2 and 5 business days. In Vic and SA, for same-day connections, you need to contact your retailer before 2 p.m. In NSW, you need to contact your retailer before 1 p.m. In QLD, next-day inspection is offered.
Setting up electricity for a property or an older one without connections requires additional steps.
Your electricity provider may need to expand their infrastructure or install equipment, which could involve giving months’ notice and paying upfront connection fees.

What’s covered in your utility bills depends on your tenancy agreement, the property type, and the utilities in question. For example, in some rentals, water usage might be included in your rent, while in others, you’ll need to pay separately. To avoid confusion, review your lease agreement and confirm details with your landlord or agent before setting up services.
At Moveinconnect, we can take the stress out of comparing and setting up utility connection services, helping you find cost-effective plans tailored to your rental property.
As a renter, you have the right to a property that meets health and safety standards. The rental agreement outlines these standards and other important terms, such as how much notice your landlord or agent must give before an inspection.

Additionally, inquire whether the retailer offers reconnection services at your location.
Remote Move-Outs are provided for customers in Victoria. When a customer moves out of a property, the distributor can disconnect the power remotely.
Similar safety requirements apply to move-outs, and it’s important to mention both manual move-out fees in case the remote disconnection cannot be executed.
When it comes to Remote energisation, it is essential to go through a script that covers;
Remote Move-Ins follow the timelines for connections outlined in the Vendor Service Order Cut-Off Times and Excluded Service Charges Spreadsheet.
Day or next-day services are available for requests if submitted by 11:30 am.
When setting up a Remote Move-in, informing the customer about the Remote Connection Fee and the Manual Connection fee is essential. This ensures that the customer is informed about the cost of the distributor’s inability to complete the Remote Connection.
The vendor service order cut-off times and excluded service charges spreadsheet provide details regarding timeframes for Remote and Manual Fees. This document provides all information for move-in scheduling, including cut-off times, availability for same-day connections, and all fees with GST included.
Safety concerns are a part of our responsibilities for compliance when arranging a remote Move-in. These safety requirements, mandated by Energy Safe Victoria, are in place to safeguard customers and their property.
To ensure compliance when coordinating a move, we need to ask the following questions;
The move-in request must be processed if the customer confirms a ‘Yes’ response to inquiries regarding renovations or modifications.
A distributor may sometimes try to connect or disconnect but face difficulties remotely. Common reasons for failures include;
In these cases, the retailer will send someone during business hours as scheduled to connect or disconnect manually. Customers will incur charges for services in these instances.
In Queensland, a safety inspection (VSI) is required to reconnect a property without power for more than 30 days.
When you switch your electricity service to a place in Queensland, a VSI will be automatically arranged for the address, usually applicable to houses and duplexes.
You need to be at the property during the VSI. Once your booking is confirmed, your retailer will send you the appointment details.
VSI Included in Booking: When you arrange an electricity transfer with your retailer, a VSI is automatically set up at your location. We’ll share your appointment specifics and send you a reminder before the inspection. The VSI will be scheduled within a five-hour timeframe.
Exceptions from VSI Booking: If power has been active at the property in the last 30 days, a VSI may not be necessary. This typically applies when power was recently switched off rather than disconnected from the source, making it easier for a new energy provider to reconnect.
If you know that electricity has been used in the month’s location, you won’t require the VSI. To cancel your VSI reservation, simply call your retailer. If it’s optional, we will help you with the cancellation process.
To avoid surprises like moving in and discovering you have no power, make sure you organise your utilities before the big day.
Connecting electricity is simple. Choose a provider that fits your needs and arrange a connection date in advance. If comparing options feels overwhelming, Moveinconnect can help you find and secure the best plan for your new home.
Gas connections may take a little longer—some companies require 3-5 business days to activate services. Depending on your rental, a technician may need to visit for the setup. It’s best to plan ahead and schedule this early.
Internet can sometimes be tricky to set up, especially if you’re unsure about your usage or connection type. Research providers, choose a plan that suits your needs, and organise a router delivery. If the property doesn’t have a telephone line, check with your landlord about installation costs—these are generally covered by the tenant.
