Practical Guidelines for Reducing Your Electricity Bill
Before your electricity bill arrives, there are several important factors that contribute to its total cost. Several factors contribute to the total amount you’ll need to pay for electricity, including your usage patterns, the plan you’ve chosen, and the type of meter you have.
By familiarizing yourself with each of these components and discovering which ones are the best fit for you, you can significantly lower your electricity bills.
Getting to know Peak, Shoulder, and Off-Peak Periods
In Sydney, the management of electricity distribution is handled by three main entities: Ausgrid, Essential Energy, and Endeavour Energy. Your electricity consumption will vary based on the service provider in your area. Different peak, shoulder, and off-peak timeframes will apply.
For Ausgrid Customers:
- Peak: Monday to Friday, from 2pm to 8pm (excluding public holidays).
- Shoulder: Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays), from 7am to 2pm and from 8pm to 10pm. Weekends and public holidays, from 7am to 10pm.
- Off-Peak: All other times.
For Essential Energy Customers:
- Peak: Monday to Friday, from 7am to 9am and from 5pm to 8pm.
- Shoulder: Monday to Friday, from 9am to 5pm and from 8pm to 1pm.
- Time Of Use Off-Peak: All other times.
For Endeavour Energy Customers:
- Peak: Monday to Friday, from 1pm to 8pm (excluding public holidays).
- Shoulder: Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays), from 7am to 1pm and from 8pm to 10pm. Weekends and public holidays, from 7am to 10pm.
- Time Of Use Off-Peak: From 10pm to 7am every day.
Finding the Perfect Electricity Tariff for You
When it comes to choosing your electricity tariff, it’s important to consider how energy consumption is assessed on your property. There are two main types to keep in mind:
Single Rate or Flat Rate Tariff:
This tariff offers a straightforward and consistent rate for your usage. It’s a simple and easy-to-understand option that can help you manage your energy costs effectively. With a single rate tariff, you’ll enjoy the same electricity rate no matter what time of day it is. It’s a straightforward and hassle-free option.
This option is perfect for properties that use a lot of electricity during peak hours. The single rate is usually lower than the peak rate in a time of use tariff, making it a great choice. For instance, a regular household could consider this tariff as a good option when everyone gets back home from work or school, and different devices, appliances, and lights are being used.
Time of Use Tariff:
With a time of use tariff, your electricity charges are determined by the specific times you use it throughout the day. Electricity prices vary depending on the time of day. During peak periods, prices are higher, while during shoulder periods they are cheaper. The least expensive rates are during off-peak times.
This plan is great for people who work night shifts away from home or those who work from home during weekdays. It’s designed to be convenient and helpful for individuals in these situations. Time of use tariffs are a great option for people who mainly use electricity during off-peak hours. Moreover, by effectively managing your electricity usage, this tariff can serve as a source of motivation to help you save money by reducing or shifting your consumption.
Please keep in mind that this tariff is specifically for customers who have an interval or smart meter.

Happy Customers
Danielle Burton
Had a power outage at my wedding on a Saturday night, called around a few other electricians and no other '24/7' electricians were able to help us out. Parker Level had the electrician race down in under 30mins. Absolute Legends! Highly recommend
Kirk Mclean
Offered an excellent, reliable service and were very efficient with nothing being too much hassle for them. The guys were extremely friendly too and were very tidy cleaning up after themselves. Will definitely be recommending to my friends as we had a fantastic experience.
Priscilla Jenkins
Parker did a fantastic job with upgrading our supply from single to 3-phase, along with a new switchboard that gives us an extra 11 circuits. Also installed an additional double powerpoint and outside 15 amp powerpoint. Would recommend 100%, and if we need any work done in the future will definitely give them a call.
Aidan Huggins
Parker was super helpful in assisting with an emergency call out and also answered when no one else could. Thanks for helping me resolve the issue and being so punctual with the service. Very pleased thanks again !
Jo Momoy
We lost power in several rooms earlier this week. Parker was able to very quickly identify the issue, buy a replacement fuse, rewire some old faulty wire in our electricity box and restore electricity everywhere in our home. He is competent, polite and helpful. I could not recommend him highly enough.
