Moving house and need an urgent or same-day connection? We're here to help (yes, even on the weekend!)
There's nothing worse than moving the last box into your new home, only to realise your electricity isn't on. If you find yourself in this situation we'll help you connect your electricity to your new address. We can also help you with your gas connection, water, phone, internet, and Pay-TV in one easy call hassle-free call.
We can arrange any reconnections and disconnections that you're after within 3 business days' notice.
We work with Australia's leading energy providers, so let us lay out the energy plans and who you choose is entirely your call.
From Victoria to New South Wales, to Queensland to South Australia and everything in between, we can organise your new connection with a bevy of energy retailers and electricity providers, such as:
At MyConnect we've been helping Aussies move since 2006, with over 1000 Google reviews Aussie movers have rated us the best in the business with a 4.8-star rating!
Our friendly team of energy experts understand that moving into a new house for the first time is stressful, which is why we like to keep utilities simple and the best part is- we're a completely FREE service!
If your electricity is not connected to your new property by the agreed-upon connection date, MyConnect allows up to $150 per day to be paid to you by us in situations we deem eligible. There must also be sufficient evidence of financial impact provided by yourself from this situation.
With an urgent connection, it’s best to contact us and give us a phone call as early as possible to ensure your power is turned on as soon as you walk in the door. If it does slip your mind on moving day, however, an electricity or gas company can still receive the request to arrange power connections and will be connected the next business day.
While there are plenty of retail energy providers, some retailers offer same-day connections from Monday through Friday. Others may offer Saturday same day electricity also. Standard connection fees, supply charges, and exit fees can be found with the energy provider.
Standard Fees apply to all the below

connected as soon as possible.
We guarantee to contact you by the end of the next business day, or you can do it online!
