Richard was great however this was after 3 attempts to get in touch. I sent 2 requests online and received no response, so I rang. The phone message mentioned the 'support' email which I then used. Ri... See more

It was a very straightforward process changing from AGL to 1st Energy. Still waiting for the app to populate with data from our smart meter but the app looks great and we should save $100 per month.

1st Energy Initial Contact

I generally don't take any notice of door knocking. The person was polite and direct to the point. I have heard of 1st Energy so we chatted. He was a little persistent but I went along in the end and we will see what this brings.

The sales person from the company was great

The sales person from the company was great and well equipped with the info. However, he could make this experience better if the rate after 15KWhr was mentioned during the conversation which I discovered later from the welcom pack. Anyway, overall it's cheaper than my current plan.

Hi There,

Hi There,
The company should set up the device (modem) before sending through. I had to call to setup the modem which took about 45 min which was frustrating, and I was surprised why the customer service is based outside Australia. Another issue was that I was expecting to receive the modem within 3-5 working days however I received the modem after 8 days.
And last but not least the quality of internet is not good it becomes on and off which is not good at all.

The discussion with Ash was most…great, refreshing and informative.

The discussion with Ash was most refreshing, and I do hope that 1st Energy P/L can provide a much more professional service than my current (to be terminated) provided.
I have forgotten the actual date, but I am looking forward to being a client of 1st Energy P/L.

The worst website ever

The worst website ever. Cannot find where to locate my bill to pay it. Went round and round and round. I reeceived an email to sign up, but it doesn't offer a default password to join, so i can then update the password. It just sends you back to the same place where i started.

Quick, clear, concise & very polite!

There wasn’t a long hold time before reaching an agent, once the call was connected it took no longer than 5mins to complete everything; the team member that took my call was clear, concise and very polite. Sending a link to my mobile number to accept terms and conditions is a great idea! I could make sure my details were entered correctly and could accept terms and conditions without having to sit through a call where the agent has to read them out to me.

I was very happy to find an English speaking person for a start. Us older clients have so much trouble keeping up with new technology, let alone trying to decipher their messages. I hear you are in Melbourne, so even better!
