Customer service is zero
Solar, have to keep chasing where my current bill is now up to 6 months. Absolutely hopeless. Will be changing supplier if I do not receive an answer within a week as I have been asking this same question for months.

Complete rip off, overcharging.
I went with Energy australia because while living with my ex, he has chosen this company(idk why) and even after separating I stuck with this one thinking should be okay and reputable. When I started getting really high bills, I talked to them about overcharging and they did not do anything and I had to pay. I did my research and found other company charging literally half per unit. My bills are lesser by hundred and more. Complete rip off. Just watched an episode in A current affair and I wondered why I never left a review. Customer service is also pretty appalling. Never again!!! Another one i used before is Click Energy, another rip off plus dodgy. Please do your research

Don't use them!
I have with EA for 12 months for both gas and electricity
In that time frame I have had 4 gas bills... but not even one electricity bill
I have contacted them multiple times regarding this matter and every time they have given me a different excuse
One was the fires, another was it was being processed in the billing department and the time before last they were honest enough to say they couldn't find any information and so were sending it further to which today.
Today they tell me they are missing paperwork details for my solar panels, which i...Read more

don't use if you have a choice
Services are alright, but they charge you for a call out fee to get the meter re-read when it was their issue that the initial reading put in the wrong number.
(my bill gone up from usual 200 to 1000) they said if I don't get a re-read and the next reading shows the difference (number gone back down), I will be credit back, but who knows.

Do not sign up with Energy Australia
Paid bill by due date was told to pay 3 days in advance in order to receive the discount on paying on time? due to paying via credit card (understandable it will take time to process)but that should not be a fault of ours if we pay on time and by that date!!!Why state a due date and then they return to tell you that in order to receive the discount pay it 3 days early? spoke with Julius and as of courtesy agreed to the discount amount even though I paid by the due date???... not worth signing with - took the initiative to contact and ensure that payment went through and they said to pay in advance -

Very Disappointed
So disappointed with the service - I changed to EA and they confirmed the Solar Feed in Tariff I would receive, only to find out two weeks after joining it was scheduled to drop. This was never mentioned to me at the time that I was joining! This is so unprofessional! Then you have to ring their call centre which is based in the Philipines..... these guys struggle to understand what you are saying and their responses are not appropriate! Seriously we have such unemployment in Australia and we allow these guys to send potential local jobs off shore!!! I had to call them after I had cancelled my account to get my credits paid to me.

Energy ‘Australia’ is owned by China
Despite the name this is a chinese owned company, it took 3 weeks of constant live chat and empty email responses just to get the power connected, they stated in their sign up process that a $50 credit would be provided, however it only came off the connection fee, I’m really regretting the decision to choose this company already

Don’t expect help!
Was shocked with my last quarterly bill
It was more than the previous one
It could not possibly be right
Due to the fact that nothing had changed except for a Family of 4 had moved OUT and took their fridge with them!!!
Spoke to several people, overseas
apparently the meter was read and correct... impossible!
Their response was ..sign up for a contract to receive discount

The absolute worst
The absolute worst. We were in a dispute with them for over 18 months as they kept charging us a high pressure rate. We referred it to the ombudsman and it was eventually resolved. We were credited over $2000 in refunds. Appalling.

Is it really so hard??
Ok I’m moving my service. I’ve been with them 6 months and I’ve lost all patience. I’m trying to get my solar connected to them and the EWR form to match. Unhelpful, unknowledgeable and downright rude. Talking over me and being aggressive. I am so glad the calls are recorded.

Price gouging at its finest.
What is wrong with this picture? I am using power saving devices (LED lights for lighting, off peak hot water tank, gas for cooking and power saving LED TV etc for entertainment) but yet I am paying more for electricity than I did decades ago when I was using 75 to 100 watts incandescent light bulb, CRT TV, electric cook tops and 24/7 hot water tank just to name a few. In actual fact, I consume less power than I did decades ago. There needs to be a royal commission into price gouging of essential utilities.

Don't honour their commitments
Since signing up to Energy Australia they have done everything to avoid meeting the obligations. I committed to a specific rate both for electricity I used and for the solar feed in. I was excited and waited for the first three months to see how much solar power I was getting credited for. The bill did not come and the meter day was delayed a month, then another month. Eventually after yelling at them they issued a bill showing they owed me over $600. Next they have then gone and changed the solar feed in rate to reduce it by around one th...Read more
ird without advising me. When challenged about the fact that the rates were supposed to be locked in for a year, their response is we only agreed that for charges and this is not a charge. Finally I mentioned the ombudsman to them and also asked to speak with a senior manager. After disappearing for a bit they came back and said that because I had mentioned the ombudsman the senior manager could not speak to me.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Horrible service & Got a bill with service charges to the property that was under construction
Outsourced call centre in Manila who has no clue, empathy or compassion. They put you on hold more than they actually talk to you as they don't know anything and constantly keeps referring to different teams. My property has just settled 2 weeks ago and I got a bill from Mar for Supply charges and the property was halfway during construction. How did you supply gas to a dormant connection? I would be curious to know this bill as my plumber commissioned the gas to my property only a few days ago. I wanted to give this mob a go from my current ut...Read more
ility provider and seeing my intial interactions and over 1200 1 star ratings on here, thank god i didnt move from my current provider and closed off the account with EA and never want to deal with them ever again. Run as far away as you could if I were you. How this bunch of clowns are still in business is beyond me!Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
Wish I could rate it lower
Absolutely appalled - signed up to a rate for solar buy back, a few months later we receive a letter saying they 'forgot' to notify us but this rate was changed and backdated it to the date we signed up. So unethical! Tried to contact customer service and laid a complaint, extremely unprofessional and unhelpful.

Owned By China! Disgusting Service
You get the run around . The hold music is terrible. Bills are often wrong and always too high. They promise to fix issues but don't.
Go with an Aussie owned company like Re Amped or Enova.

Appalling service didn’t notice our gas meter wasn’t working for over 1 year!
Gas/ electricity, process time was ok, power is ok no dropouts, gas was an issue as the meter hasn’t been working for over a year and no one picked up on it

Reduced feed in tariff and only notified nearly 3 months after!!!
Started off very good when I swapped to them early this year but dropped their feed in tariff from 16.1 to 11.5 but FORGOT to tell me, and only let me know nearly 3 months after with no offer of compensation for their stuff up!

Hopeless customer service - AVOID! Zero stars!
Electrical and gas accounts (for now but I am leaving). Setup was fine and speedy. Reliability is fine, but man, the customer service is TERRIBLE. Long delays, call centre reps who don't understand what you are talking about, constantly being put on hold because they hold zero knowledge, really makes you feel like you are in the wrong, when you spend 2 hours getting them to try and correct a billing error, which is still not resolved! AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!

corrupt
i have a large solar feedin. they havnt payed me. havnt contacted me. ive been chasing this up for 6 months now. ive phoned multiple times, been lied to each time and palmed off. now 6 months down the track.. they have come up with an excuse that the paperwork isnt in order.. why didnt they say this sooner? .. unpaid equates to power thieft. the paperwork was in order for the last power co. There excuse is that of an amateur fraudster.. dosnt cut it.. the last pwr company needed this same paperwork to provide me which they did....they also cut the feed in rate back a few weeks after i joined. not that that matters there not paying any way... im having to go down the legal avenue.. and of course changing to a reputable company

No relief for people during covid 19
No financial relief or assistance for people out of work or affected by covid. Every company from car, health, home insurance etc are offering something. Shame on you energy Australia. You are obviously not in this with us but here just to make money. Good bye

Why is my current bill now up to almost 6 months and each time I ask when I will receive my bill am told you are understaffed. This is not good enough. I have solar so the data should just be downloaded and a bill produced. The reviews are shocking, energy Australia really need to get their act together if they want to Keppies customers.

Took me ages to get mine sorted as well, was told paperwork had not been received so emailed them everything again along with the original email. Finally got it sorted but my last bill is well overdue and every time I speak on the chat line I get the answer that they are understaffed?
