Capalaba-based gym or fitness studio? Your retailer's quietly overcharging you
If you run gyms and fitness studios in Capalaba, your bill probably has a demand charge or tariff structure that no retailer's automatically updating for you. We re-quote the whole panel and put the saving back on your side.

Gym or fitness studio energy in Capalaba — common questions
How exactly are Smarta Switch paid?
When we move your account to a new retailer, that retailer pays us a commission — partly upfront, partly as a trail over the life of the contract. We don't charge you a fee, mark up your rate, or add anything to your invoice. Ask us the exact dollar amount on any specific deal — we'll tell you.
Will my power get cut off when I switch?
No. Switching retailers doesn't touch the wires or your meter. Same poles, same wires, same network operator (Energex for nearly all SEQ). You just get a different name on your invoice — and a better number.
How long does a switch take?
Typical SEQ small-business switch: 10–20 business days from signing the Letter of Authority. We send the LoA, you sign, we lodge with the new retailer, they handle the meter-data hand-off with the network. Your old contract ends, the new one starts.
When should I renew my contract?
60–90 days before your current term ends. Don't let it roll over to default rates — those are usually 15–30% higher than what's available on the market. Send us your bill 60 days out and we'll re-quote.
Should I be on time-of-use or flat-rate?
Depends on your usage pattern. Cafes open 6am–2pm usually win on flat-rate. Gyms with split 5–9am and 4–8pm windows usually win on TOU. We test both with your real meter data, not a generic assumption.
I'm mid-contract — can I still get quotes?
Yes. We can quote now and lodge the switch to take effect at your contract end date. Just send your bill 60–90 days before expiry and we'll have your new contract ready to go.

We disclose the commission existence on every quote. If you want to know the exact dollar amount on a deal, ask. We'll tell you.
