Let's chat about electricity and gas first.
Origin Energy is one of Australia's biggest energy retailers, offering plans across NSW, VIC, southeast QLD, SA, and the ACT.
To check if it covers your address, just pop it into its website and you'll know within seconds.
As for internet, as long as you have an NBN connection you should be able to sign up for Origin Internet.
Is Origin Energy's Black Friday deal worth it?
Electricity and gas
It will largely come down to its plan prices.
Pop your address into Origin Energy's website to check out its electricity and gas prices - they can vary depending on where you live.
Besides looking at the annual estimate, take a look at the usage rates and supply charges too.
The supply charge is the daily fee for staying connected to the energy network, and the usage rate is what you pay for the energy you actually use.
Compare these to your current rates (check your last bill for details) or even other providers to see if going with Origin Energy is worth it.
The bonus Everyday Rewards points won't be as sweet if you end up paying more with Origin Energy (unless you switch to a cheaper provider in a few months).
Keeping prices aside, the energy giant also offers access to additional perks:
- An app to track energy usage and manage your plan
- Access to its Origin Spike program. This is for households with a smart meter. Adjust your energy use to off-peak times and get rewarded
- $50 referral bonus as a bill credit
- Keep earning Everyday Rewards points on its Everyday Rewards variable plan
Internet
Origin Energy's NBN plans are on the pricier side, with monthly costs starting at $83 a month.
However, you get the convenience of bundling most of your utilities under one provider and a 12-month subscription to Paramount Plus.
You can compare NBN plans from Origin and other providers before making a decision.
