Future X Power

Don’t go with them. Way to expensive – Suck you in then give you a massive price rise. Electric bill is 4 times what I was with AGL. Don’t go with them Show details

Very happy with Future X – Very reliable power supply. We are very pleased we were told about Future X . Australian owned made a big difference to us . We have saved a lot since we signed up. Show details

Absolutely over the moon!!! – Savings,Savings,Savings!!!Signed up 6 months ago and noticed a massive difference in my bills!!I used to dread paying my power bill but now my bills are not outrageous like they used to be!!Super stoked Future X!!!Just referred two of my friends a couple of weeks ago and got an extra $100 credit too!! Show details

Thank god for future x! – paying $800 a quarter with Alinta these guys reduced my bill down to $450 a quarter saving me $1400 a year! best part is my money stays in Australia and isnt sent off shore Show details

Aggressive call centre – After they called and I declined, they called me back and kept harassing me to change my electricity to them. Very aggressive and would not take no for an answer. I hardly doubt they can take 30% off my current already discounted energy bill. Very suspicious. Show details

Super cheap rates and outstanding customer service,Thank you so much!! – Convenient,cheap and great customer service,Wowwww I wish I had of found them sooner I am saving a massive $250 every quarter!!Thank you future x power the best energy company in Australia!!Now I use more power with peace of mind knowing my bill won’t sky rocket!! Show details

Don't trust them – Don't trust them. They added the promised discount amount from previous bill to the next one through POT Adjustment from Prev bill. They did this to every bill received. VERY BAD Show details

Selling the coustemer – This company they sell us as a coustemers to another company name 1st energy and this company increase the electricity price after they buy the. Coustemers this is a big cheating for the coustemers

Do not make a mistake like me – They may give you big discount but they will steal from your pocket much more than that. Terrible services. Don't sign contract with them.

Be careful!!! Believe what the others are saying about OPG!!! – A door to door salesman convinced my mum to join up by offering a 35% discount off the rate they charge for the bills(~$10 discount) around last year. Indeed she received them. She used to be billed quarterly with Origin but now she is billed monthly with OPG. Just like 'The King' said 'then our bills TRIPLED!!!!!!!!!' My mum has been paying her… Read more

bills for around a year now without realising how frequent they were as she has so many other bills to pay. We are now in the process of switching back!

I'll give you guys a clear example of what i mean,

OPG- $90 every month

Origin- $100 every 3 months ($33.3 a month)

I believe you 'Alv' when you say 'there are a lot hidden costs and charges!'

Just read the other 1 star reviews below which all have a 'Verified Purchase' icon attached to it

Conned into... hard to get out of !! – After an intensive 2 person sales pitch i was told i could get information sent to me after i signed up, etc. etc. we know how that goes... sign up for the product before you get to what it is in writing. I did. Nothing came, no email no info pack and at the last minute my current retailer calls and says did you actually ask for a transfer? I… Read more

said i did but i was pending info, etc. he said well it's happening in 4 days time... he then went through the offer i was going to receive from online and that if i had asked them it would be easily beaten and i get a $100 credit on my next bill... OK so now i had to get out of this ONLINE POWER AND GAS contract.... my advice is call the Victorian office as emails and phone calls to anywhere else are not answered...

Stay away – We received a call from our current energy company saying that Online Power and Gas have submitted a request to transfer our electricity to them. Not only had this transfer never been authorised, but we had never even spoken to Online Power and Gas. When I called them, I found out the transfer request wasn't even in our name. I asked them to… Read more

cancel the request and they wouldn't do it until they spoke to the "account holder" who requested the transfer. Even when I explained to them that there must be a mistake and the other person is not the owner of the property, they still refused to cancel the request until they spoke to him. At this point, I realised that they weren't actually trying to help me and that this was definitely not right.

I told the agent that I would gladly speak to a manager if she could not authorise it, but if she did not resolve this, I would call the ombudsman, however she kept telling me to give her more time to try to get in touch with who they had on their file (though I'm sure they knew they would never reach him). After back and forth phone calls, 6 hours of my day and about 2 hours phone time, I told the agent that I would not wait any longer. I said that I would not speak to her anymore and that she needs to either cancel the transfer and give me a cancellation number or transfer me to a manager, and she said "okay, I'll cancel it".

It was a highly stressful situation and such a waste of time. Not an easy battle, but if you find yourself in this situation, save yourself the time - ask for a cancellation (and cancellation reference number!) or you want to speak to a manager straight away. I would never use this company based on their dishonesty and lack of integrity.

So far so good – had no issues so far. i got through someone very quickly when ever i called their customer service line..Most importantly, i am paying less than what i was paying to AGL.

Excellent Customer Service – I recently relocated and organized my electricity connection through online power and gas. There was an existing meter issue at the premises and the customer service team got me connected on time. I was kept updated throughout the process. Great experience so far.

Dishonest – A complete waste of my time. Dishonest and pushy door to door sales person and unhelpful customer support. I should not have to recompute bills over and over to prove that I was quoted the incorrect rates. Be very aware.

AH..... NO – Took a call today from [name removed]. He knew my address my full name and managed to call on my silent phone number. I listened to his spiel, stating a 37% discount off my current power bill. Said he wanted to send me a Welcome Pack but needed ID before he could do that. I asked exactly which company he was calling from and he stumbled, but… Read more

eventually stated Online Power and Gas. I politely refused to give any further information or ID, as he already had plenty to be able to send me something in the mail. [name removed] persisted, and I asked for him to send me out some information regarding his product prior to receiving the Welcome Pack, he still persisted in asking for more ID. I told him I was happy with my current arrangement and could he please remove my name and number from his call list, however, he hung up prior to me finishing that sentence! If you call me again I will be going straight to the Ombudsman.

Absolutely terrible!!!!!! – ZERO STARS!!!!!!!!! PLEASE DO NOT SIGN UP TO THESE TERRIBLE PEOPLE!!! a lady came to our door and guaranteed they would be the cheapest, then our bills tripled!! TERRIBLE customer service, couldn't even disconnect for us when we moved because we didn't have another forwarding address!!! they are a complete JOKE!!!! Save yourself and don't sign up with OPG!!!!

Avoid And Don't Use Them As Your Provider! – I have been asked to sign up under OPG last year and I found out that the customer service was really terrible. Beside, the most important issue was that the bill was NOT CLARIFIED with a transparent amount, there are a lot hidden costs and charges! So, why waste your time on a worthless and low class company when you can be a wiser consumer? Don't go through what I have went through.

Customer Sales/Service - absolutely terrible!! – There should be a zero star to rate them. I was told by the salesperson that if I signed with them, they would email me the "Welcome Pack" which contains the full details of the rates, charges and discounts and I had 10 days cooling off to cancel. I was reluctant and I asked for the rates and charges to be emailed to me first so I can review… Read more

it, but the salesperson insisted all I had to do was to call them and cancel and there was also No Termination Fee on cancellation if I didn't like the rates.

I was never sent a "Welcome Pack", so that I could compare with my existing provider. Did not get any correspondence from them for 3 months and thought they didn't process my sign up. Then I get an email saying my transfer to them had been completed.

I call them up to ask them to email me the "Welcome Pack" and told them I hadn't received the initial "Welcome Pack" email. I was met with a defensive and condescending response from the "Customer Service Agent" saying they definitely sent it as they had my email address on file. I didn't accuse them of not sending it, I just stated that I didn't receive it and that I checked my Deleted Items folder and Junk Mail folder; which they responded with, "Well, I don't understand how you would not have received it if we sent it" - very condescending and basically accusing me of lying. They kept talking over me and cutting me off every time I tried to tell them that, "Ok, I'm not saying you didn't send it, I'm just saying I didn't receive it, so can you send it again so I can compare the rates with my current provider".

I finally get a "Welcome Pack", did the bill comparison with their rates and discounts compared to my existing Simply Energy plan and I was about $50 better off staying with Simply Energy.

Called up Simply Energy to see if I can connect back with them on the same plan, they said they can and would submit a "Win Back" to Online Power and Gas and would also remove the $25 disconnection charge!

Called Online Power and Gas (Disconnections department) to inform them of my disconnection and to confirm that my Gas was also not going to be switched and surprisingly, they were more pleasant to deal with than "Customer Service" - the irony.

My mistake was not getting onto them when I didn't receive the "Welcome Pack/Letter" email on the day I signed up. For anyone thinking of signing up, please be aware of this and don't make the same mistake I did.

This is the worst power company in Australia – It is unfortunate that I have to give them 1 star, they are worse. You know the drill you get a phone call from a power company selling you their power. I thought that I had a pretty good deal with Momentum energy but this mob beat them with everything - a single tier power rate of 17.8 cents instead of 21.4 cents off peak 24 cents peak, a solar… Read more

rebate of 15 cents instead of 6.8 cents and a lower supply charge - an offer too good to refuse. Naturally I got the spiel that I would receive my welcome pack and I would have a 10 day cooling of period. I heard or received nothing from them until I got an email notifying that the transfer had occurred. I got the first bill 2 and a half months later which was tiny - the solar rebate was only 8 c/kWh but what the hell. The same day I received my welcome pack which had no welcome pack (no attachments) that finally came 2 weeks later (3 months after the transfer not prior to it). The following 2 bills were also low. There was always a small kW reading on each bill and didn't realise at the time that was not included in the charge (I found out later that the welcome pack stated that my charge was 0.000 c/kWh). I then got the $2385.90 power bill - you would expect an adjustment when they found out but I was charged almost 30 c/kWh instead of the 17.8 cents I had signed up at. After this bill I thought enough is enough - they had lied at about every stage of my dealings so contacted several other power companies (reputable) and found an offer that was almost as good as what Online had sold me - I signed up. Yesterday I received a phone call from Online - I was expecting it to be about the remainder owing on my account but it was just to see if I was happy with the service - after a long list of complaints the lady asked with other than that was I happy with Online without thinking I said yes. Thinking about it now I think I have now cancelled my transfer at least I have realised and can fix it. Do not deal with these people.
