For Victorian residential customers, moving with Red Energy includes free standard connections for electricity and/or gas. When you switch to Red Energy on a residential plan or continue with Red at your new property, standard connection or disconnection services are included.
This comprises a meter reading for electricity, fuse insert or removal for electricity, and a meter reading for gas. However, certain services are excluded, such as meter installation, pit and pole reconnection/disconnection, applying/removing locks and plugs for gas meters, and truck visits. If you move out of your property and do not reconnect with Red Energy, a de-energisation fee will be charged.
While standard connection fees may apply in other states, it's important to note that connections cannot occur on Sundays or public holidays.
