Staff went the extra mile to help me navigate the process – I required both gas and electricity quotes after moving interstate and eventually finding rental accommodation. Mobile phone was playing up a bit, but staff (Tim) persisted in helping me through the process of choosing the companies to supply services. This is the second time I have used wattever.com.au to find a fair quote and my decision to use them again, was truly justified by the results. Show reply

Massive Electricity Savings – I did some electricity comparisons through WATTever 2 years ago. Although I may not have changed energy retailer at the time, I found their comparisons very useful and subscribed (subscription is free) to WATTever to keep up to date with any significant changes in energy pricing. They seem to compare all known energy retailers. I have received… Read more · 1
only the occasional email, not constantly bombarded with rubbish. I'm usually looking for better deals when I get notified by my existing retailer that prices are increasing. This time around, I received an email from WATTever with the latest deal from ReAmped Energy. I was with Tango Energy at start of 2021 and it was the cheapest deal I could find. My current spend with Tango is $900/year, ReAmped will be $600/year, saving $300/year. I must mention that I have a 5kW Solar System and feed-in Tariff for me is 10.2 cents/kwh, so for those of you on better feed-in Tariffs, the savings may no be as large as mine. I have never seen such a big saving before, at best I normally get a $70-$100/year saving when I'm shopping around. Also with ReAmped, I have received a further $50 credit when getting family or friends to join, they also receive a $50 credit. The credit is unlimited, if I get 12 friends to join, my electricity is covered for 1 year. There is no contract, no exit fees, a 1% debit or credit card surcharge applies. The only dislike for me is direct debit payment. Customer Service is via chat online and has long operating hours, no telephone communication, other than faults. They are based in Brisbane so there is no communicating with an offshore call centre. Thanks so much WATTever and David Hiley (founder) for your assistance. I'm so happy for this saving and have researched a long time to discover cheaper electricity.
Comprehensive Energy deal comparison – I found Wattever Energy Comparison Tools very informative. But it's always wise doing your own research with FIT for Summer and Winter Months or a yearly average as some retailers Plans are very close. Your Solar FIT calculations maybe the difference with season adjustments during peak solar hours of the day energy consumption. Examples: Using… Read more · 1
the AC during the heat of the summer months or alternatively heating the house during winter. Time of day your Pool chlorination is running. To the point, how much of the Generated Solar energy are you using during the day will alter your FIT value. Correlate this with the best plans FIT offering.
For my household we use much more energy in summer during the day, as I live in Queensland. It is also important to research your usage pattern prior to instillation of solar as the Optimum Panel angle for winter or summer will make a big difference in your FIT and the best plan. (Caveat: less so the further north)
A Genuine Comparison Company – I recently found WattEver when searching for different pricing comparisons. I found that my current provider was way off the mark, price wise even though 12 months ago it had been recommended by a Comparison Company. WATTEver's search indicated that the cheapest company, Alinta Energy was nearly $1000 PA less than my current provider who had… Read more · 2
previously been referred to me by a large Comparison Company. I signed up with WATTEver and paid the small annual fee for Deal Tracker. The principal came back to me by email and said that he couldn't receive a referral fee from Alinta Energy because he didn't have the volume to interest them at this time. Instead, he waived my Deal Tracker fee and put it back in my account. I was disappointed for him because I know a lot of Comparison Sites receive fees from companies who pay and so, are not necessarily recommending the cheapest provider. I know this company is only a small operator at this time but for the sake of Real Comparison, I hope that they can survive and grow - everyone will benefit from Genuine Comparison and not some advertising hype from the big players.

I was trying to look into the first local energy site. It did not give me the rates for supply and usage until I clicked on 'sign up' which I did not want to do until I had enough information to make a comparison. In my frustration, I hit the sign up button and got the information - and the comparison was not better than the company I am already… Read more
with. The site seemed to indicate that I would get a phone call from them (but that did not happen).I did not get prompted to make any further commitment and so left it. Then I got an email from you to congratulate me on starting my change of provider. So, the whole thing was most unsatisfactory.
Somewhat useful but confusing – The screen where you input your data is very confusing, it needs to be far clearer. ie the solar inclusion panel on the left hand side doesnt really make clear do you want solar or do you have it. Also % of solar export...how many people wold know that... it would be far better to add information from a bill like the govt site. Show details

Good service but needs to be more thorough with advertised rates – I found WATTever to offer a decent service comparing electricity and gas plans and rates. I found a deal that appeared fairly good but I had a few questions. I wrote to WATTever and they answered within a few hours, (and that was on a weekend!) but the information they offered and what was on the site of the electricity company was different and… Read more
they couldn't explain that. Also, when I asked about where on the electricity site I could find details of an advertised discount off my first bill, they told me to check a document that does not work on the website. For me, it's a wait and see approach to see if WATTever really is a company to trust.

This service was easy to use and the most comprehensive I have found. The results came through quickly and identifed a much better alternative to the plan we had with our former provider. I would recommend WATTever to anyone looking for better residential energy options. Show reply

experiencing,WATTever aimed to search the best home electricity deal at this time,I found the site easier to use than the energy compare and the advice given was non biased.Thankyou WATTever!..
This is my 2nd switch with Wattever and it was done on the same day that I sent the request to Amber as I now have a battery, did not expect that because it was Saturday afternoon. The change over was seamless with Amber & my old electricity supplier sent my final account Monday. I would highly recommend Wattever to help you to find the best plan for your electricity.

I can’t recommend this site highly enough! It is relatively easy to stick with the same energy provider out of habit because you think moving providers is hard. I finally decided to try this comparison site — and I’m so glad I did. The process was incredibly easy and took just a few minutes. Within no time, I found much better deals for both my… Read more · 1
gas and electricity. The results were clearly presented, with transparent pricing and helpful breakdowns. I ended up switching both my gas and electricity plans and will be saving a significant amount every month. Even better, the switch itself was completely seamless — no interruptions or hassle at all. This service has made something that used to feel overwhelming incredibly simple. If you’re even slightly thinking about changing your energy provider, I would recommend WATTever.
Not only do you receive a totally independent listing of all electricity and gas rankings pertinent to your own situation, but David and Tim are quick with their informative email responses. A simple and quick system which is sure to save you dollars. A very professional experience now utilised by all family members.
Able to get unbiased real information. Tim was very helpful. Would highly recommend Wattever to anyone trying to compare electricity deals

Hi, Like many senior consumers I rebel against other comparison sites that insist on calling you back to ram their product into your head, especially when you have voice problems! Wattever provides a CHAT option that lets you discuss questions and problems through a keyboard which allows you time to re-read details and think about the options… Read more · 1
without the pressure. I also had some technical computer problems which caused some confusion and the CHAT rep helped me patiently through these by providing alternatives. Thanks for an alternative low stress alternative Wattever.

Easy and quick to search, compare and then change Energy suppliers – I found the process of searching for the best deal for my Solar Surplus home to be easy and quick.
