Connect Electricity And Gas Online And Save

The process of connecting gas and electricity to new homes can be slightly different depending on if you are moving to an existing home, a rental property, a newly built home or an embedded network. The hassle of moving an electricity connection can be less complicated if you plan ahead of time.

For residential customers who are moving to a home with existing connections for the gas and electricity supply, you will need to compare energy plans from the providers available in your new area and find the option that is right for you. As well as looking for low rates you should consider the types of tariffs on offer, bundles, discounts, flexible payment and contract options and any relevant rewards programs to find the best value for your new energy bill.

For residential customers who are moving into a rental property, you will need to find out if your new home is separately metered or if your energy bill is included in your rent.

Finally, for residential customers who are building a new home where there are no existing connections, you will need to arrange with your builder and electricity and gas distributor to connect your home to the mains and then choose a provider to complete your gas and electricity supply.

But don’t worry, all you need to do is contact Move-In Connect to connect electricity and gas online and we’ll do all the hard work for you, and the best part is, our service is 100% free.

With EvenPay residential customers can pay the same amount for their energy plans every month based on their estimated usage. This will be reconciled with your actual usage at regular intervals to make sure you don’t pay too much for your gas and electricity supply.

Your distributor is responsible for handling faults or emergencies such as electricity and gas blackouts or problems with your electricity supply.
