Crap bottles aren’t full properly charge you $170 for a 45litre bottle and also if you cancel with them you don’t get a refund for the year In advance gas bottle rentals you paid Show details
This has to be Australia's worst company to deal with. Deliveries never come when they say they will. When you phone them you're on hold forever, then when you finally get to speak with someone they sound like they're half asleep and wish you hadn't woken them. No commitment, and no caring that you've taken the day off work to be there for the… Read more
delivery. This happens EVERY time I order gas, without fail. I wish there was another supplier in my area, but no such luck. I also wish it was possible to rate zero on reviews, or even a negative number, as that would be a more accurate description of Elgas customer service.

Don’t get LPG from the company, worst customer service I ever experienced. Call for an urgent delivery, talk to the operator and confirm delivery the next day, wait till afternoon and get a call say you are not getting gas until 3 days later. Then I ask that’s not urgent then, just normal delivery, and they said it still urgent and you’ll need to… Read more
pay urgent fee of two hundreds and something, I cancel the account on the phone and check out origin. Much cheaper and much better customer service. Don’t fool by their popular brand name. There are much better companies that provide LPG service

I've found Elgas to be really great and reliable – I just had two Elgas guys come and change my old Gas tanks in Warburton, which they swap every 10-15 years. I was pre communicated to that they were coming, which I requested, so I knew they were coming. They really did an excellent job, trying to get the tanks up the big steep driveway. Really great attitude, both of them, and hardworking! They… Read more · 1
deserve a big raise! I wanted to include photos. I'm. Always really impressed with Elgas service, including the returned phone enquiry service! Thank you.

Terrible experience. We placed an order for a refill, 2 weeks later we ran out of gas. Call number 1 to Elgas = said they would text me an update on delivery, but never received a text. Call number 2 to Elgas = said they would get back to me. Call number 2 to Elgas = said delivery is scheduled in 8 days time. I asked if I could escalate this (talk… Read more
with a manager or make a complaint) as we were out of gas and had no cooking, no hot water and no heating. Was told NO.

21/4: Writing another review as it has been another week of zero correspondence from Elgas. I have raised 3 complaints. 1 via social media that was read and ignored, 1 via the complaints link on the website that said I would hear back the follow… Read more
business day (still waiting a week later) and the other was the phone call I made and found out later no one actually took note of my complaint.
I would love for head office to investigate or at the very least acknowledge me!
Update 23/4: I have received a return email from Tracey, saying I will not be getting a refund for changing companies during the facility fee time frame of 12 months (this is not the reason I am asking for a refund, I am asking due to a breach of contract that lead to no services). She said she would look into finding me the proof of notification but has now ignored that and told me the case is closed.
Follow-up · To answer follow up questions: I still have not been provided with the email confirming cancellation. I still have not been provided proof of notification that there was a safety issue with my gas, not notifying me is a breach of safety and their legal requirements which led me to have zero services. I had an alleged safety issue for 4 months that… Read more
I note Tracey was from QLD not Head office.
No star rating for this poor companies customer service . Now waiting almost a month for Elgas to contact me to pick up their 90kg cylinder . Every time I ring I get the same response, Elgas will ring you. If you want a reliable trust worthy company I would not recommend Elgas. Show details
Follow-up · To this day there has been no follow up from Elgas. I have contacted them on numerous occasions to organise a pick up of their 90kg canister and each time I ring Elgas tell me someone will ring to organise pick up. The canister remains out the front of our property. Elgas you are a disgrace

92% of ELGAS reviews are negative for a very long time. Reasons are plenty and actions are few. ELGAS your system is broken. You send an SMS informing your client that the driver will be there in 15 minutes and 4 hours later still nothing.(October… Read more
2025) You send an SMS informing your client the driver will be there in a few minutes and seconds after, the horn goes at the gate. Less than 1 minute later the gate opens and the driver has left already. (February 2026). ELGAS Caboolture what is going on? Get a system please.
Follow-up · It is very difficult to contact them since the call center refer you to the dealer in your area. The dealer in your area have only one number and that is the call center.

Excellent service. Long story short, electric hot water didn't get installed on time so ran out of gas, no hot water in winter. Elgas scheduled 2 days. I called to check if local guys could get in sooner. Yes, done same day I called. Awesome! Show details · 1
I spoke to a guy called Dave on the 9th September. I had a question, he gave me a call, and answered the question quickly. My question related to new customer specials against customers that had been with Elgas for decades. I was very happy with the response. Show details · 1
Fantastic Service – I would like to personally thank Elgas Toowoomba for their fantastic service and support for my mum whom has used this company for the last 54 years. As mum has gone into an Aged care facility we had to have the service disconnected so when the gas bottles were collected this wonderful company refunded my mum for the full gas bottle that wasn’t… Read more · 2

I would not recommend Elgas for bottled gas. We ordered a delivery & the communication was non existent, they tried to deliver on 2 occasions that we were totally unaware of & managed to deliver on the 3rd try. If we had been told, we were home on the 1st occasion. Show details

I called Elgas 3 weeks ago to order 2 cylinders. They texted me a few days later to say thy couldn't deliver it. I rang again to see where the order was, after 3 weeks waiting. I waited 30 minutes on the phone for them to answer, only to be cut off when it was my turn for them to answer. Show details

Ongoing terrible experience with Elgas. On this occasion, I have had a gas order pending for 7 weeks, and it has been rescheduled 5–6 times. Two confirmed deliveries were either cancelled or simply did not arrive. I called Elgas three days in a row last week and was told each time that delivery was scheduled for the next day, but it still has not… Read more
occurred. I have already run out of gas on four occasions while using Elgas, and I am now down to the final 10–20% of my last bottle, with no confirmed delivery in sight. I have also submitted several enquiries through their contact form without any response. Very poor and unreliable service in my experience. Be warned.
Update: Ran out of gas again! Elgas arranged an emergency delivery.
Thanks for raising this. We’d like to make sure it’s… Read more

Appalling, been with them for 8 years and the service over last two years has got worse. Can’t get through to customer service, staff lie and say they will put through an order for you and don’t. Been sat without gas for nearly two days. Now gone to another supplier, do not use Show details

Absolute appalling service. I would never recommend elgas to anyone. I ordered a bottle of gas recently and it was never delivered, we don't have dogs, we don't have gates, no attempt was made as we have surveillance cameras. I contacted elgas 6 times with either phone or online enquiries with no help. They direct debited the account of $278 for… Read more
a bottle that was never delivered and a year of service fees for the coming year, but we cancelled our elgas account and they wouldn't give us our money back because they say it was delivered but it wasn't. They were so rude to deal with, I said, go check your drivers gps to prove they never came to our house. Even though we have cameras it's our word against there's as we can't prove footage was deleted wich it wasn't. I wanted them to come and see for themselves that our gas bottle was empty but they wouldn't listen or help. They wouldn't get back to our enquiries. It's caused alot of unneeded stress and financial loss because of their stuff up. They still owe us $278 wich we doubt we'll get back. Maybe they need to investigate their drivers as its very suspicious, we aren't the only ones it's happened to in our town. Our next option will be to escalate with the energy ombudsman.
Actually they owe us $287.11 To Elgas, instead of replying to me with a generic response to contact… Read more (+3 replies)
If I could give less than one star I would. I placed and order on the 26th March and was told it would be delivered on the 30th March. We are now out of gas and it's the 1st April. I have rang 4 times now. Spent at least half and hour on hold every time. Now I have been told she can not give me a delivery date at this stage. Possibly next week… Read more
some time. She didn't care that I would have no gas over the whole of Easter. Customer service was very rude and told me I could go to another service provider. So I have taken her advice. I rang another company. Call was answered immediately and I will have a delivery tomorrow. I have been an Elgas customer for 15 years and this experience has left a bad taste. I have decided to go with an Australian owned gas company not a part foreign owned company that doesn't care for their customers. If you have the same issues as ourselves, have a look at Agas. They were very friendly and helpful.

Only 1 star cause I cant give less. What a rip off. Been a customer for 9.5 years and accepted that prices went up. I have been taking delivery of 45kg bottles to my house since living here. My last bill for 1 bottle was $330 odd. I was then talking to a neighbor who received the same delivery etc from Elgas, he paid $150 odd!!!!! I contacted… Read more
Elgas and was advised that the price of gas "fluctuates". My reply "Yeah not to the extent of $180 to a neighbor that lives 200m down the road". I wanted some type of compensation because clearly I have been ripped off for numerous years (I can only access my invoices from April 24 and noticed I was paying around $300 a bottle then). They then offered my cost per bottle in future of $185 and some vouchers for delivery's. Waiting for my super expensive gas to run out then cancelling Elgas account and going to another provider. Steer clear of Elgas.

They keep the service charge hidden then charge a quantity of 4 for as an annual fee. We only have 2 bottles!!! Pretty sure that these bottles can be reused and last decades if treated properly. The delivery took 5 minutes. Money for absolutely nothing. They do not pick up their phone on the helpline either. I can hear the person on the other end… Read more
