Customer service replies read like broken AI responses. Or my thought about 3rd parties incepting their emails last year ended up happening. I… Read more

asked to withdraw my accounts credit in April only to get responses of the following. "Why do you want a cheque for? A direct deposit is much faster" I know from experience last year it is not faster. They will want a whole heap of things then reject it because they can while claiming account security. The emails form 2026 saying the 2025 process made out that I just didn't understand it correctly. They would request a bank notice I would supply it be told it's been approved for 48-72 hours later yeah no. Not enough evidence that the bank account was mine. When saying I am closing the account as I am moving to a new provider as I no longer trust or like them. I get sent "how to disconnect your service when moving house" instructions. Which was requesting a disconnection date allowing someone to come out and lock the meter.

I keep getting sent follow up emails that are just strange to say the least. Did you know if you take out your accounts credit you have to start paying them again? They needed to inform me that.

After I replied to the last one saying how useless they are and 'I am now with AGL.' "Thanks very much for confirming. Upon checking your account, I can see that the refund was processed last March, so you should have received it by now." So I have received my credit before I even asked for it? I asked in April and only got confirmation of it being approved last week. Process was contact them in April get run around by the next person who would just repeat the previous persons email arguing again bank deposits are much faster. Submit a mid bill sign up to AGL wait several weeks for a account to move. Then get sent a bill which was instantly paid due to the account credit. Then wait 2 more weeks while being asked things like does your bank still accept cheques? I had to make an account at another bank last year when you flat out refused to do the direct deposit. Which is why I kept it open as I suspected they would do the same thing this year.

confirmed installation date.

The sales and quoting stage was responsive, but once the contract and finance were approved, communication dropped off badly. I have had to chase repeatedly for basic updates and clarity on what is happening.

The installation itself has not happened yet, so I cannot comment on workmanship, punctuality or handover. That is part of the issue, after almost four months, I am still waiting to be told when the system will actually be installed.

I've been an EnergyAustralia customer for a while. Mid-June I got an email telling me my rates were going up from 1 July — my peak is now 80.54c/kWh.… Read more

What the email conveniently left out is that EnergyAustralia offers far cheaper rates to new customers for the exact same electricity. They notified me of the hike but not of the better deal sitting right there on their own website. So I compared. Not only are their new-customer rates well below what I'm being charged — after this increase, my rate is the highest I can find anywhere in the market. Competitors are charging close to half at peak. This isn't a cost-driven rise either: NSW benchmark prices actually fell this July. This is the textbook "loyalty tax": lure people in, quietly ratchet up their rates betting they won't check, and keep the cheaper deals for new sign-ups while existing customers foot the bill. Emailing me about the increase while staying silent on the better rate makes it worse — it's not an oversight, it's the business model. No proactive offer to move me to their best plan. Just a higher bill and the hope I wouldn't look. I looked. I'm switching. If you're an existing EnergyAustralia customer, compare their new-customer rates — and the wider market — against your own bill before you do anything else. You're very likely paying a premium for being loyal.

Switched account to Lumo through Econnex. Nearly 2 weeks later and no introductory email or other confirmation from Lumo. Contacted Econnex who confirmed account had been referred. Contacted Lumo to confirm they had received the application and were working on it. Account was applied for in my partner's name who is now in hospital. When I advised Lumo I didnt' hold power of attorney they refused to confirm that an info pack had been sent to the application email (which I have access to). They refused to confirm that there were no delays in their processing of any new account applications. They refused to use any of the strategies available to them to reassure me that the account application was being properly dealt with. Eventual "helpful" advice is that lumo may take 10-15 business days to contact new account applicants, to advise them their application had been received. Not accepted, but simply received!!. Other similar businesses have responded within 48 hours. At no time did I ask for any confidential or private information... I just wanted to know if their system was operating properly. After nearly 1 hour, and 4 escalations from asian call centre, the final words were .... would you care to fill in a customer feedback survey? I said yes please.... response was a click as the call ended. Thanks Dillon, ??, ?? and Nina. Lucky I wasn't trying to deal with some dodgy foreign owned operation eh?

service team was extremely knowledgeable on energy efficient homes and were very quick to respond to our questions as to what kit to buy. The kits were in pristine condition when they arrived and were an absolute breeze to fit using the online instructional videos. We barely had to use our heater at all after fitting them, we were able to turn our heat off before lunch an not turn it in again until the following morning. The price we paid for ecoMaster products was quickly made back from our reduced energy bill. Thanks ecoMaster for keeping us warm and saving us money. 6/5 rating, would highly recommend all of ecoMaster Products to anyone will fat power Bills

have employed all the clowns in Victoria to run the company. My solar panel and battery installation company submitted an application for approval of my solar panels back on 11th May 2026. They sent back an application number within 2 days advising it is in progress. Then early June, the retailer who supply my electricity Scene energy send an email to me advising Jemena still going through application. Both my self and solar panel installation company call them on 22nd and 29th June asking why we haven't heard anything yet. As our scheduled installation is on 6th and 7th of July. Surprise surprise Jemena hasn't done anything yet! Literally it took them 7 weeks of messing around with nothing. I organised dates off work for this 2 months in advance thinking I have more than enough time. Little do I know this company might take on average 12 weeks to get an approval for solar panel installation. I would like to know if they do approval for rocket booster as well. It is much more complicated so that means they might take 10 years to approve 1 single application. If i have a choice i would never ever use this company. Too many clowns running this company. Clowns belong to circus, shows. Not for running company.

a-box was the cheapest. Their tariffs were great. Then after a few months in they raised the prices to ridiculous amounts. We got no communication of the sort and had to move away.

Don't have much to say about support other than it was a pain setting up the portal access and in one back and forth interaction, they referred to me as someone else along with their email. Don't know how they keep customer records but it doesn't seem the least bit secure.

Efficient, to the point, rapid delivery, friendly staff, reasonable prices, no annual service fee – Moved into a new rental and there were gas bottles leftover from another supplier: Elgas. I did a bit of research and discovered that Elgas charges… Read more

an annual fee for each bottle out on site. I was not happy with this proposition. This is effectively the same as a connection fee on a gas pipe to a property. It is not like you have to fork out an annual service fee on a "swap n go" bbq bottle, so I considered the annual fee unreasonable and started looking around for a gas supplier with a different approach and found Choice gas. What a find!

I was slightly out of their delivery area but was told "no problem". SMS'd my name, address, two 45kg bottle requirement and delivery date and on the morning of the delivery got a call to process the payment on Visa and a few hours later bottles installed!

They even took away the old, aged Elgas bottles to return to their depot for collection by Elgas. The two choice gas bottles are in good condition and have an anti-clank net around them.

Always great to find a small business eating into the territory of larger players, providing a product that people actually want, at a good price with no hidden gouges and with good customer service.

Thank you to both Nathans. Every success!
