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.

Quick way of changing energy suppliers
Quick way of changing energy suppliers, yes. Nonetheless, I would have preferred to have a review of my current account before switching. I frankly will not know if I am now with a supplier and paying less.

1st Energy is great
1st Energy is great. They've always been helpful when I've called with questions or concerns. I was a bit sceptical at first, when I joined years ago. But I've never had an issue. Which is exactly what you want 😅😅

Excellent service
Will was very helpful, and explained everything very clearly. I'm from the UK, and this would have taken several hours to set up via telephone there, being transferred between multiple departments. Here it was straightforward, simple, and friendly.

Not impressed
Deceased estate went from three people to one. I was paying around $600-$800 per quarterly for a one-person Houshold, living in the dark. This seemed fishy so I changed to another provider. Low and behold, it was $250 per quarterly, twice now. I saw the meter reader attend, but I suspect they just go by estimates.

Thanks for taking time to provide a review Cee Jay. I've had a look on the system and we don't have an account in your name so unfortunately I can't offer any explanation here but I am certain there is one. We are absolutely not in the game of overcharging our customers so I would really love to investigate this further. Please message me with your customer number or name and address and I will be able to assist further. Kind regards Sarah
