Moving house? Choose Momentum Energy for $50 welcome credit & easy setup

Moving house is one of life’s big milestones - exciting, a little bit chaotic, and filled with to-do lists. Among the packing boxes and postcodes, there’s one essential you can’t forget: your energy connection. And if you’re looking for a provider that truly understands movers, look no further than Momentum Energy.

With a focus on simplicity, support, and some serious perks, Momentum Energy is making it easier than ever to settle into your new home. Whether you’re relocating across the city or starting fresh in a new state, the Warm Welcome plan is designed with movers in mind - including a $50 welcome credit per fuel just for joining.

Let’s unpack why Momentum should be your first call when the moving truck arrives.

Momentum Energy: perfect for movers

Unlike providers who treat moving as an afterthought, Momentum Energy puts movers front and centre. Momentum understands that starting fresh should be smooth, stress-free, and budget-friendly. The Warm Welcome plan ticks all the boxes:

• $50 welcome credit per fuel. That’s $50 off your electricity and another $50 off your gas if you sign up for both.
• No lock-in contracts. Flexibility matters when you’re moving, so you’re free to switch or leave at any time without exit fees.
• 100% Australian-owned and operated. When you call for help, you’re talking to someone who understands your situation and your suburb.

It’s not just about powering your home: it’s about powering your move.

How to move your energy when you move house

Moving house is already a big job - between the packing, cleaning, paperwork, and navigating new neighbourhoods, it’s easy to forget the basics.

But making sure your energy is sorted early can save you a heap of stress (and possibly a cold shower or two). The good news? Moving your electricity or gas connection is easier than you might think.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you manage your energy move like a pro:

Let your current provider know you’re moving

The first step is to give your existing energy provider a heads-up. Ideally, aim for 5 business days' notice so the team can schedule a final meter read and disconnect your old property after you leave.

This ensures:

• You don’t get billed for the next tenant’s usage
• You get a final bill that accurately reflects your usage
• Your provider can help organise the transition smoothly

💡 Tip: Ask your provider if there are any disconnection fees or contract conditions before moving. This is where a flexible provider like Momentum really shines - no exit fees or lock-ins!

Compare energy providers at your new address

Not every energy plan is available everywhere. So even if you're happy with your current provider, it's worth checking what's on offer in your new area. In fact, moving is the perfect time to shop around.

Things to consider when comparing:

• Is the plan available in your new postcode?
• Are there any new customer bonuses, like Momentum’s $50 welcome credit per fuel?
• Are rates competitive and fixed, or are there variable charges?
• Does the provider charge connection or disconnection fees?

By comparing now, you might find a better deal and avoid rolling onto an expensive default plan.

Choose a mover-friendly provider

When you’re changing address, you want a provider that makes life easier - not harder. That means:

• Quick connection times
• Helpful customer service
• No lock-in contracts or penalties
• Digital tools for tracking usage and managing bills

Momentum Energy’s Warm Welcome plan is designed with movers in mind. You can even organise your connection in advance, so the lights are on and the heating’s working the moment you walk through the door.

Schedule your energy connection date

Once you’ve chosen your provider, book your connection date. Ideally, this should be:

• The day before or the morning of your move-in date
• With a window of access if a meter reading or technician is required

There’s usually no need to be home unless your property has an older-style meter or a gas reconnection is needed. Your provider will let you know.

Moving on a weekend or public holiday? Be sure to check for availability - some services may not run every day.

Record your meter readings (optional but smart)

While many properties have smart meters that auto-report your usage, it’s still a good idea to:

• Take a photo of your final meter read at your old home
• Snap a photo of the opening meter read at your new place

This protects you from disputes and ensures your bills start - and stop - exactly where they should.

Don’t forget to update your details

Once you’re settled, update your provider with:

• Your new contact details
• Your preferred payment method
• Any concession cards (so you don’t miss out on government rebates)

This helps avoid billing delays, missed discounts, or service interruptions.
