What plans are available from Alinta and Kleenheat in WA?
Note: Discounts and incentives change often. Be sure to check with the brand before signing up or applying.

Alinta Fair Go 25: Similar to the Fair Go 35 plan, except you'll receive a 25% guaranteed discount for a benefit period of 3 years, instead.
Alinta Sports Pack: This offers variable rate natural gas plus a free Kayo Sports Basic subscription for the first 12 months of your plan.

Kleenheat Monthly Energiser: Guaranteed 35% discount off gas usage charges for the first 2 years of your plan. Must pay by direct debit and accept email billing and communications.

Verdict
Alinta offers incentives in the form of access to the Alinta Rewards Store, which contains a range of discounts and offers on movie tickets, electronics and more. Kleenheat's incentive is a minimal $50 bill credit/gift card on some of its plans.
Neither Kleenheat or Alinta allow for account management or bill payment through a mobile phone app, and Kleenheat's cheapest plans require you to pay via direct debit.There's not a lot to set Kleenheat apart from Alinta, but you might be better off siding with Alinta if you want slightly better customer service. Otherwise, choose a plan and brand based on your individual circumstances and your natural gas needs.
Energy providers often offer introductory discounts, sign-up credits, or ongoing loyalty benefits. These can significantly impact the overall cost of a gas plan beyond the basic tariff. Kleenheat are currently running a $50 welcome gift.
Contract terms and potential exit fees are important considerations that can tie a customer to a provider or incur costs if they switch early. While specific plans vary, it's common for gas plans to have benefit periods (e.g., 12 or 24 months) after which rates may change, and some may include early termination fees. You should always review the Key Facts Sheet (KFS) or energy fact sheet for any chosen plan to understand these details.
With increasing environmental awareness, many consumers are interested in sustainable energy options. Some gas providers offer schemes where customers can pay a small additional fee to offset the carbon emissions from their gas usage. Alinta has invested in a range of renewable energy initiatives like wind and battery storage projects.
Billing convenience is important for managing household expenses. Providers typically offer various billing cycles (e.g., monthly, quarterly) and payment methods (e.g., direct debit, BPay, credit card). Some may also offer hardship programs or flexible payment arrangements. Details on specific billing options and payment flexibility for Alinta Energy and Kleenheat should be confirmed on their official websites or by contacting their customer support.
Availability is a fundamental question for any comparison, as a great deal is irrelevant if the service isn't offered in a user's location. Alinta Energy has a broader presence, often serving multiple states across electricity and gas. Kleenheat's gas services are primarily focused on Western Australia. You should always verify service availability by entering your postcode on the provider's website.
