What to Expect When Working With a Utilities Consultant

The process from first call to signed contract, what information you need to provide, and what good service looks like.

29 May 2026 6 min read

What you provide

A recent bill for each utility, a signed letter of authority, and a short conversation about your plans. That is genuinely all a competent consultant needs to start.

What happens next

A well-run review follows a predictable sequence.

  • Data gathering from your current suppliers
  • Whole-of-market pricing against your actual profile
  • A clear comparison with annual cost, not just unit rate
  • Contract paperwork and switch management
  • Diarised renewal reminders before the next end date

What good looks like

A named contact who answers the phone, commission disclosed in writing, and honesty when your existing deal is already competitive. A consultant who has never told you to stay put is not comparing properly.
