Comparing gas & electricity deals are simpler and quicker than ever, thanks to the Econnex website.
This user-friendly Australian energy comparison website generates deals from dozens of major gas and electricity providers across the country. Unlike other prominent price comparison websites, they offer dollar-value information and list the main conditions of the contract. They also provide helpful guides to the energy markets in respective states/territories, with tailored information about concessions, rebates, etc.
The website offers gas and electricity quotes at a glance, simply by filling in a quick form. The form prompts you for information such as your postcode; whether you’re a residential or business billpayer; whether you have rooftop solar; and so on. You’ll then be provided with an at-a-glance list of deals offered by various providers. If you do decide to switch providers, Econnex can process the switch for you, offering an all-in-one solution. Furthermore, Econnex’s services are entirely free to customers; like many price comparison websites, their business model involves charging a small commission to gas and electricity providers.
“Energy prices in Australia have been increasing for the last 10 years, far outpacing inflation. It’s simply not a Fair Go to the average consumer. But the tide is changing, thanks to government intervention and increasing awareness among consumers.” Econnex CEO Ankit Jain explains. “Australian households and businesses deserve a better deal; with Econnex, it’s easier to make it happen.”
“Econnex assists consumers and businesses via an energy comparison tool that’s easy and secure to use. We’re delighted to have helped so many Aussies regain power over their power. Making informed decisions about energy comparison is better for all of us.”
With energy comparison traditionally involving waiting on hold, interacting with salespeople, and manually comparing offerings and contracts, Econnex’s value proposition is clear: a simpler way to compare energy plans and get the best deal possible. However, as Mr. Jain highlights, “one dimension does not meet all when it comes to electricity and gas comparison. That’s why we also highlight the main conditions of each contract offer. For example, peak/off-peak plans save money for consumers who don’t use much power during the daylight hours.
But they can lead to bill shock for people who work at home 9-5 pm. It’s not enough just to say how much a plan might be for the average household; we help people understand that it’s not just how much, it’s how you use your power. Other price comparison websites may just focus on price; we aim for robust energy comparison that’s genuine of service to our customers.”
