I have had a problem with those company…as above

I have had a problem with those company since my husband died and I have been trying to get this account in my own name and with all the benefits we were receiving before. I received poor infornation, I have had my legacy solar contract reduced to 4 cents and I have had to fight to get the credit transferred to my account Very poor service and I am sick of hearing platitudes re my husbands death , then veing treated abysmally. Very poor conduct. Now I am sitting here with no electricity for already four hours so you can reconnect under a different name I only gave one star because there was not any lower scorr

se…new utilities

I normally don't have time for these calls and can have trust issues giving info over the phone etc but l also know the different utilities companies only offer the good deals to new customers and getting a 640 gas bill for 2 in small unit l thought I'd at least listen and l could tell the call centre guy called Eddy was knowledgeable and wasn't scam type questions and over a few minutes he got a better provider and just the 640 gas bill now will change to almost 200 cheaper! At 450 it's around 33% cheaper so can't think how it could've been quicker or cheaper

So far so good

So far so good, am hoping it continues. I like to be able to search your website easily which I couldn't do with my last supplier and encountered some employees who either didn't know the answer to help.

Just changed to Alinta

Just changed to Alinta. I was promised 4c feed in tariff for my solar. Welcome pack arrived no mention of solar. On making enquiries I am told its 2c feed in tariff. This was deliberately done to get me to change suppliers. I wont be with you for long Alinta

No Solar Rebate and No Customer Service

I have been with Alinta and attempting now for months to get resolution to the fact I'm exporting many kWh of power to the grid and they are not providing any rebate. When I have attempted to resolve they have told me I need to possibly pay for someone to check my meter, even though I have a new modern battery and solar solution and my previous supplier had no issue. After follow up I was told there is no issue and all is resolved but still no recognition of my bill or any written correspondence. They keep telling me to call them. Beware of a company that will not put anything in writing as it a clear policy as the obdudsman will always ask for written emails, dates, time and what you have done to attempt resolution.

Transferring to Alinta Energy

While the process of transferring energy to Alinta takes a while (primarily due to privacy compliance), your operator was pleasant to deal with and patient. He had a good understanding of the process and the systems, making signing up seamless.
