Testimonials

"We checked with Powerswitch and it seemed worth changing. My only regret is that we didn’t change sooner"

Heather from Lower Hutt

"We fed in details from our power bills and ended up saving around $200 a year by changing. We had previously changed using Powerswitch some years earlier and will keep an eye on things over the coming years"

Maree from Christchurch

"We moved to our power company a couple of years ago because they offered us a good deal at the time. Therefore we have always felt that we are probably on a reasonably priced plan.  We are a family household so the power bill is one of the larger regular bills we have to pay.  We decided to check the Powerswitch website recently and were surprised at how quick and easy it was to check how our plan compares to others.  We were also surprised at the result which showed that we can save $424 per year on our energy bills so we'll now be looking to switch again, and we have also learnt that we should check the Powerswitch website a little more regularly in future."

Alastair from Wellington

"Great website – easy to navigate and good to have the choice to enter your data in detail or get an estimate. Thanks for such a useful tool."

Luke from Rotorua

"I’ve made a change after using Powerswitch and, what’s more, I will continue to do it again and again as we’re fed up with the power companies putting up  prices for whatever reason and then reporting record profits every year."

Darcy from Kerikeri

"I periodically compare power prices using Powerswitch and I finally switched last year. My savings to date have been brilliant. In the 12 months since switching I’ve saved $192 with the same amount of usage."

Brett from Warkworth

"We used Powerswitch last week after our power bill arrived as we were unsure if the company we were using was appropriate and cost effective. We were pleasantly surprised to find our company gave us the best deal. It’s great that Powerswitch confirmed we’d made the right decision."

Chris from Christchurch 

"I had been with the same power company for several years, and always found them reliable. However, late last year I started having concerns at yet another price increase from them. I used your Powerswitch website to look at other suppliers in my area, and compare their pricing. I was surprised to find my supplier was the most expensive in my area. I looked at the range of prices, and made a choice to switch - not to the cheapest as they had not had a price increase for almost two years - but to one that had had a fairly recent increase.

I am saving almost 30% on my power bills right now, and it is entirely because of your Powerswitch website that enables the suppliers to be so closely monitored. This has been a huge success for me, and I cannot tell you how grateful I am as we move into winter.

I am also a registered budget adviser, and often take clients to your website to help them compare power suppliers. It is an invaluable tool."

Peter from Tuapeka

"Using Powerswitch resulted in me switching from Contact to Mercury and saving at least $40 per month. I am happy that I used Powerswitch and that I changed."

Jane from Christchurch
