Your ability to switch gas providers will depend on where you live in Australia, as there are regional differences in how gas is provided. It'll also depend on whether you have piped natural gas or rely on LPG gas cylinders.
In Australia, there are three distinct gas regions which are based on the main gas basins and the infrastructure and pipelines which are connected to them. Whether you’ll be able to change gas providers will depend on which gas region you live in.
If you live in Queensland, NSW, Victoria, SA or the ACT, you’ll have a range of gas suppliers to choose from, both for LPG bottled gas and natural gas.
If you live in Tasmania, you might be able to access natural gas depending on where you live, and may be able to change bottled gas suppliers, but you'll have a more limited choice. Natural gas is supplied to Tasmania from the Victorian offshore Gippsland Basin gas fields, through the undersea Tasmanian Gas Pipeline.
If you live in the NT, you won’t be able to receive piped natural gas and will have a very limited choice of providers of LPG bottled gas.
If you live in WA, you may be able to receive piped natural gas if you live in Perth, Kalgoorlie, Geraldton and the south-west, but more remote residents rely on LPG gas bottles. However, if you’re connected to the gas pipeline, you’ll have a choice of at least five gas providers.
Switching gas providers is easy through Savvy. Just follow this simple process and we’ll help you compare plans to help you find the best possible gas plan in minutes.
In Australia, natural gas and LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) are the two types of gas used for cooking, heating and hot water systems. The main difference between them is the way they’re delivered to your home. Natural gas is delivered through pipelines connected to the gas mains, while LPG is supplied in gas bottles or cylinders which need to be manually refilled or replaced.
Another difference is in their composition. Natural gas is primarily composed of methane, while LPG is a mixture of propane and butane. This means that LPG has a higher energy content and burns hotter than natural gas.
When it comes to cost, natural gas is generally cheaper than LPG if you use large quantities of gas, but this can vary depending on where you live and your usage patterns. If you live in an area without access to natural gas pipelines, LPG may be your only option for gas supply. It’s important to compare gas plans and usage requirements to determine which gas type is the best option for your household needs.
LPG gas for household cooking and water heating is usually supplied in either 45kg or 90kg gas cylinders. These are larger household versions of the smaller 5kg or 9kg gas bottles commonly used for barbecues in Australian backyards. They're usually supplied two at a time, so that when one bottle runs out, it’s a simple matter to swap gas bottles to ensure a continuous supply and arrange for the replacement of the empty bottle.
If you choose to swap LPG gas providers, it may be necessary for your former supplier to collect their gas cylinders, and your new supplier to provide you with new ones.
However, some gas suppliers have arrangements in place to use the same gas cylinders as other providers in the area, so the switch can take place when new gas bottles are ordered and supplied. Contact your current bottled gas supplier if you require further specific information about switching suppliers.
