Move house

How to get your AGL electricity, gas and internet connected when you’re moving into a new or new-to-you home.

1. Choose your plan

To get started, compare the plans available in your area.

Things to consider for nbn plans

  • Your current plan may not be available at your new address.
  • Your current plan may not be suitable if you’re moving to a home where more people and devices will be using the internet. In these cases, a higher speed plan may be more suitable.
  • If you’re upgrading to a faster plan, you need to make sure your modem can deliver those speeds (you can check your modem manufacturer’s website).

You do not need to sign up to a specific solar plan if you have solar panels. As long as you have a working system, you'll receive our standard feed-in tariff at a minimum. If at any time of the day your system generates more power than you're using, the surplus is exported to the grid.

If you've recently moved into a property with solar, check out our Solar Savers plan which offers a higher feed-in tariff.

Some customers are better off on Solar Savers, which offers a higher feed-in tariff. Others are better off on a different energy plan depending on their usage and how much solar they export to the grid. To find out which plan is best for you, go to Energy PlansEnergy Fact Sheets and Basic Plan Information, or contact us.

3. Disconnect previous services

For electricity, gas and internet, you’ll be able to choose a disconnection date for your AGL services when you book your move. It does not have to be the same as your move-in date.

If you’re with another provider, you’ll need to contact them to request they disconnect your electricity, gas or internet service at your old address.

Leave your nbn box at your old address. An nbn box looks like a modem but has the nbn logo on it. Not everyone has one, but if you do it’s really important to leave it behind.

Home phone

If you’re moving your home phone connection, keep your modem and plug it in at your new house. Your home phone service only works with your current modem.

If nbn is being installed at your new address for the first time, you’ll need an nbn technician appointment. We’ll let you know if you need an appointment and when it will be. Learn more about nbn technician appointments.

If you’re moving into a new development, nbn may charge a $300 (GST incl.) fee for the cost of installing their infrastructure.
