Harristown energy broker for the Anzac Avenue industrial strip
Harristown is Toowoomba's working west side: the Anzac Avenue and Gore Highway industrial strip carries fabrication, transport, hire and trade yards, backed by a big residential base around Harristown State School and State High. We see a lot of these sites still sitting on a legacy contract from whoever signed them up years ago, and with demand charges and network costs creeping up on the Downs, that gap in what they should be paying keeps growing.
We're paid by the energy retailer when you switch, never by you.

Around the area
Harristown businesses around Anzac Avenue, Harristown State High School, Gore Highway, and Toowoomba Showgrounds all sit on the Energex network, same wires, same poles. What changes is who bills you, and what they charge. That is the part we shop.
How we quote Harristown businesses
You send one bill
One recent electricity or gas bill, or sign a one page authority and we will get it from your current retailer instead.
We read it properly
The tariff structure, your demand profile, your actual usage shape, and the network charges that make up half the bill and almost nobody checks.
You see every offer
We price your site across the panel we are accredited with, and for bigger sites run a tender so they bid against each other. Every offer comes back on one sheet, with our commission in c/kWh next to each one.
No supply interruption, no meter change, no fee on your invoice. Same poles, same wires, same Energex. The only thing that changes is the price.
Pick your industry, see the specifics
Every trade uses power differently, so the tariff that wins is different too. Pick yours for the Harristown version.
Harristown cafes
Cafes run on tight margins, long opening hours, and demand profiles that look weirdly different to a retailer's standard SME quote. We re-shape the contract until it fits.

Gyms push AC, lights, and equipment during peak windows that don't match standard tariffs. We optimise the contract around your actual open-window, not a generic profile.

SEQ manufacturers running production lines, compressors, and ovens sit firmly in C&I territory. We tender to a tighter panel and get bid pricing.
See harristown manufacturers energy optionsHarristown medical and dental clinics
Clinics run predictable business-hours demand: imaging, sterilisation, AC. Predictable = pull. We use it.
See harristown medical and dental clinics energy optionsHarristown mechanics and trade workshops
Compressors, hoists, welders, workshops have inrush demand that retailers either price punitively or fairly. We pick the fair one.
See harristown mechanics and trade workshops energy optionsHarristown pubs and bars
Pubs and bars push refrigeration, AC, and bistro kitchens long into the night. The right tariff turns that into your bill's friend, not enemy. We find it.
See harristown pubs and bars energy optionsHarristown retail shops
Boutique retail, homewares, and lifestyle stores have clean daytime demand profiles. Retailers love quoting on those, we make them compete for it.
See harristown retail shops energy optionsHarristown restaurants
Restaurants live on the demand-charge tightrope: peak service windows, cooking gas, refrigeration around the clock. We price all three properly, together.
See harristown restaurants energy optionsHarristown salons and beauty studios
Hair, beauty, and nail salons run a steady demand curve: hot tools, washbasins, lots of AC. Predictable curves give us pull we use to negotiate harder.
See harristown salons and beauty studios energy optionsHarristown warehouses
Warehouses sit on usage profiles that put them within reach of C&I rates not normally offered to SMEs. We push them up the panel where it pays.

Residential aged care runs 24 hours a day, every day of the year: clinical equipment, nurse call, lighting, a commercial kitchen and a laundry that barely stops. That flat round-the-clock load is the strongest thing you can put in front of a retailer, and most facilities have never actually tendered it.
See harristown aged care and retirement facilities energy optionsHarristown bakeries
Bakeries are the one hospitality business doing most of their work while the grid is quiet. Ovens and provers fire from 1am, dough fridges run all day, and a flat rate charges the same at 2am as it does at 2pm. That gap is usually the easiest money on the bill.
See harristown bakeries energy optionsHarristown cold storage and refrigerated facilities
A refrigerated store runs compressors 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and electricity is usually the single biggest line in the operating budget. That flat load factor is the best hand anyone on this list holds at a tender, so accepting an incumbent renewal without a competing bid is expensive.
See harristown cold storage and refrigerated facilities energy optionsHarristown childcare and early learning centres
A long day care centre runs air conditioning in every room from before 7am until after 6pm, plus a kitchen, a laundry and sleep rooms that have to stay cool. That is a heavy, predictable weekday load with almost nothing on weekends, and it deserves a tariff shaped around it.

Accommodation is one of the few businesses paying to cool rooms nobody is sleeping in. Add pool pumps, hot water and a laundry running overnight and you get a load that swings hard with occupancy and season. We price it off your real interval data instead of an annual average.
See harristown hotels, motels and accommodation energy optionsHarristown offices and professional services firms
Accountants, agencies, law firms, brokers: an office load is air conditioning, lighting and a comms cabinet, running Monday to Friday and close to nothing on the weekend. It is the cleanest profile on this list, which means it should be priced sharply, and on a flat rate it almost never is.

A servo is a 24-hour site with canopy lighting, a wall of drink fridges, a coffee machine and often a car wash, frequently spread across more than one meter on a connection sized for a fuel-only forecourt. Independents in particular are still on whatever rate was signed when the site changed hands.
See harristown service stations and convenience sites energy optionsHarristown supermarkets and independent grocers
In an independent supermarket or grocer, refrigeration and freezers are most of the meter and they never switch off. That gives you a flat, high load factor, which is exactly what C&I retailers bid hardest on, and plenty of SEQ grocers are still sitting on a small-business rate they outgrew years ago.
See harristown supermarkets and independent grocers energy optionsHarristown breweries and distilleries
A brewery runs two loads at once: the brew-day spike, when the kettle, mill and packaging line all fire together, and the glycol chillers holding fermentation temperature every hour of the year underneath it. Add a gas-fired kettle and you have three contracts worth of complexity on one site. We price the whole picture, spike and baseline together.
See harristown breweries and distilleries energy optionsHarristown commercial laundries and linen services
A commercial laundry is one of the most energy-dense businesses per square metre in SEQ: washer-extractors and dryers running in continuous cycles, gas ironers and hot water, and extraction fighting the heat and humidity all shift. Electricity and gas both carry the site, and pricing them separately, on the wrong windows, is where the money leaks.
See harristown commercial laundries and linen services energy optionsHarristown function and event venues
A function venue's load is the spikiest in hospitality: near-empty Tuesday, then a Saturday where the kitchen, air conditioning, cool rooms and a full lighting rig all run flat out for three hundred guests. Demand charges are built to punish exactly that shape. We price the contract off your real event calendar, not a smooth average that matches nobody.
See harristown function and event venues energy optionsHarristown veterinary clinics and animal hospitals
A vet clinic looks like a medical practice on the bill until you notice what never switches off: hospital cages holding temperature overnight, vaccine and medication fridges, and oxygen concentrators for the patients staying in. Then imaging and surgery pull short, hard bursts through the day. We quote the real profile, not a generic shopfront rate.

We're paid by the energy retailer when you switch, never by you.
When we move your account to a new retailer, that retailer pays us a commission, partly upfront, partly as a trail while you're with them. Your rate is your rate. There's no markup, no broker fee on your invoice, no monthly subscription.
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.
This is why we win on transparency: we'd rather show you the maths than dress up the savings.
