A. The estimated savings figure is the difference between your current retailer
and the cheapest retailer available in your area. The calculation assumes that you
are currently on the cheapest electricity plan for your retailer.
If your current retailer has the cheapest plan in your area, then the estimated
savings figure is the difference between your retailer's cheapest plan and your
retailer's most expensive plan.
Comparisons are always made between plans of the same type, e.g. low user plans
will be compared with low user plans and standard user plans with standard user
plans. Where a retailer offers one plan option per plan type only, no further comparisons
will be made.
The number is an estimated annual savings figure. To get a more accurate idea of
your potential savings on both gas and electricity, and the best options for providers

A. The estimated savings figure is the difference between your current electricity
and gas retailer(s) and the cheapest electricity and gas retailer(s) available in
your area. The calculation assumes that you are currently on the cheapest electricity
and gas plan for your retailer(s).
The number is an estimated annual savings figure. To get a more accurate idea of

Please note that some retailers in some areas offer electricity or gas as a dual-fuel
deal only. An example for this is Nova Energy in Central Wellington, where customers
cannot sign-up for electricity unless they also have gas with Nova Energy.
Customers therefore won't be on a Nova Energy electricity and a Genesis Energy gas
plan. If customers choose a combination of retailers that, like this example, is
not possible then a $0 number is returned.
A. The above estimate assumes you are on the cheapest pricing plan with your current retailer and may not include special offers. You could save more.
A. Almost all retailers are covered in the calculator. However, there are some companies not listed on What’s My Number including:
Bosco Connect is not included as it only provides electricity to a limited number of apartment buildings.
Grey Power Electricity is not included because the pricing is only available to those people Pulse Energy offer it to, so not all What's My Number users would be eligible to receive the offer.
