Why Core Energy

Three reasons our customers don't choose the obvious alternative.

You've probably gotten quotes from the big names. Here's what changes when you go with two QLD-licensed sparkies who own the whole job.

vs. the franchise installer

No three-hand handoff.

Big-brand installers run on a sales rep + scheduler + subcontractor model. By the time someone is on your roof, your design has passed through three sets of hands. We do it ourselves — the licensed electrician who quotes you is the one drilling.

Net result

Fewer mistakes, no sales pressure, faster install.

vs. the energy-retailer package

No 5-year contract lock-in.

The big-retailer-bundled deals show a low headline price because they lock you into a 5-year electricity contract. If you leave their plan, the discount unwinds. Our pricing is just our pricing — buy the system, switch retailers anytime, keep all your savings.

Net result

Free to chase a better retail tariff every year.

vs. the cheap online installer

We live where you live.

Online discount installers fly subcontractors in from interstate, race through the install, and disappear when something fails 18 months later. We're both QLD-licensed, based in Chermside West, and the same number rings whether it's the day-of-install or year five of warranty.

Net result

Real local warranty, no chasing offshore call centres.

And we're still cheaper than every named competitor for the same spec — because two sparkies running our own books has less overhead than a national franchise with a sales team.
