Jemena
IPASydney, NSW
Jemena Gas - one of the worst company in Australia.
I've made an appointment with them at 9am on Saturday to get my gas meter fixed. Unfortunately, i kept waiting for them for an hour at least. In the meantime, i haven't received any call from them.
Do they expect their customer to just sit around all day waiting for them?
Jemena company is definitely monopoly in Wentworth Point. Nothing we can do.
Please Do NOT use thier service and let all your friends know that.

Zeros stars!!!!!
UPDATE
The Technician came out and fixed the leak. He was efficient and polite, so now giving Jemena two stars.
However, he noted that there are only 2 or 3 Technicians on the whole of the north side of Sydney who are trained in the type of gas connection my unit has.
WOW! 2 or 3 for what - North Sydney to Hornsby - really? There are over 200 units in this complex at Lane Cove North alone.
I waited 4 weeks for this issue to be resolved...not good enough Jemena!

Jemena stands for joke
I’m a gasfitter and have been waiting for a week now to apply to get a standby connection for a customer. Started to call on Monday, after the meter bar and regulator were installed. It’s now Friday and finally received an offer to do the work, from Jemena. I’m thinking good and my poor customer can have a hot shower soon... NOOO their cheap website won’t accept the offer and goes to “error” msg. Now back to calling Jemena and waiting for them to call back... they never answer just let the call go to there msg centre...OMG BACK TO WHERE I START...Read more

Horrible Customer Service
Had to have our gas disconnected for demolition. Submitted application 6 weeks in advance and was promised 4 weeks maximum turnaround. Kept calling every week and got a disconnection date after asking the issue to be escalated. Unfortunately it didn’t go well and they had to come back. Kept calling and finally got our site booked on a wednesday. No one turned up, called them and they advised tomorrow thursday. No one turned up again so we called and was advised no update. We had to keep our demolition date so I rang their contractor Zinfra. I w...Read more
as told it was booked wednesday, moved thursday now booked monday. Jemena Customer service called to say it has always been booked monday. I told her she’s lying because we called them that week and their team has mentioned it was booked then moved and also their contractor told us the same thing. I was told that was impossible since it was always booked for the monday next week. I got enough and called the ombudsman. I told them the whole story and hours later, got an email from Jemena that our disconnection would be done on a saturday for us to keep the demolition date. My advise is to keep calling and escalate to ombudsman once they start lying to youSimilar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

If I could give less than 1 star, I would. Disgusting.
Turned off power for a 'maintenance defect' without any notice. Charged $500 to turn it back on. Told us they didn't know when someone could get out - couldn't even indicate a day or a time.
Absolutely disgusting that we were left without power in the middle of winter. No heating, no hot water, no internet, no power to cook. With kids at home, that's really poor. A 24-hour notice period would've been all that was needed for us to get the maintenance work fixed, without turning the power off.
Tradies in our area said they have been doing it to lots of homes lately and was not impressed by it.

Just terrible
In 2017 applied for a quote for two adjacent properties that were going to be built. Jemena came back at $125 for each new connection. So I decided to go with gas for the homes.
In 2022 ready to install and need a new quote. One property still quoted at $125.
The other at “in excess of $10,000”. Greater than 8000% increase.
I am given a time limit to accept but I ask AGL to query it.
I phone AGL every few days to see the response, which of course when it did come no body rang me from AGL and now I have to wait another 14-20 business days fo...Read more

power outage - no communication
Absolutely no communication after a gas outage. I called them to ask why I had no gas ? and no one seemed to know till hours later and it was 1400 houses that were out. They came out 3 days later to assist with reconnections and did not wait till I got to the door.

Ripping off tax payers!
I reported street light fault since they are contracted to maintain the lights. They simply keep insisting that the light has been fixed several times. The code and contract says that they have to fix the light within 2 days however it is now 3 months and they have refused to fix this. This is a huge safety and security concern.

Terrible customer service
My gas were disconnected wrongfully. They had the meter linked to the wrong address. So now I'm without gas and have to PAY to get it reconnected urgently. I 'may' be able to claim the fee back! Rediculous. Plus I had to chase this the whole day, spending my time, doing their work for them!

I hadn’t received anything at the beginning of January not sure what date I rang again & was told I sent the wrong receipt & I was not entitled to a Cashback the staff I spoke to were ...Read more
very rude & to be told on the 17th that my visa was in the post & then when I rang again they said I was not entitled to it as far as I am concerned if Jemena want good reviews I would definitely change the staff, also my son rang as well & they told him to ring Jemena direct explaining I was a pensioner & needed the Cashback & I rang again & I got the same rude person so as far as Jemena goes I never want to speak to them ever again & would not recommend the company to anyone.Similar opinion?

Worst service I've experienced
Due to an issue on the power pole in street, I can't get NBN installed. I've been Jemena to resolve it, but nothing happened in the past months. Jemena customer service keeps me waiting for nothing. Never seen such useless customer service. So impressed by such awful service.

Lazy and liars
We live in a large unit block. Whilst I am delighted that given our location and other reviews on this site, we don't have to directly contract to Jemena, they are the distributor for the area and are tasked with doing all the meter readings. Usually we get ONE day's notice of the attendance of the meter reader - this is not enough given they can't give a time and seem to expect you to be home all day.
The last one was done over the Christmas break and I am now glad I did not previously shift heaven and earth to be at home (I stayed back but ...Read more

The Most Unprofessional Orgnization I have ever dealt with
Just moved into the area and had to wait for Jemena to come and install meter, they didn’t care that I was going to have no electricity for 2 weeks! I felt as though I was living in a third world country, not Australia.
After finally getting my meter installed I was unable to have it transferred over to my name, because according to Jemena they had a “back end problem” I lost count how many times I was told they were going to fix it and to give them another day, but nothing was ever done. It took them over a month to work out what their proble...Read more

Dishonest Fraudulent Rip Off Merchant
If you can avoid doing business with Jemena then do so at all costs. It is the most dishonest company that I have ever had the misfortune of dealing with. Jemena lies and cheats it’s customers at will by high bill estimations. Jemena gets away with its deceitful conduct because high ranking members of The Energy Ombudsman protect Jemena’s interests.

Hopeless!!
Bought a house in Jemena's supply area and when I got my first bill from the retailer could not reconcile.
The retailer directed me to Jemena to get the data (that's another story!). Jemena gave me a login to its site so I could download the data for one of the two meters installed at my property, but refused to give me the data for the second meter due to "policy"!
To get the data for my second meter I have to request it in writing from the retailer who then must request from Jemena and 5 days later (actually takes more like 10 days) I can have my data................HOPELESS!

DEALING WITH JEMENA AS A CLIENT
It took them 6 months to connect power for me, zero care factor & it nearly buried me financially. There was no communication or advice just an SMS that I was not successful. So when ever I called to ask what exactly they needed the person on the phone could not tell me? Finally I got transferred onto the compliance people and they got it wrong every time for 6 months. Every time someone came out there was yet another reason that they had not told me about, some things were so minor that they were not even relevant? but I found that out towa...Read more
rds the end. I was so desperate that I asked for an email via their compliance team to advise me of all that they needed from me, which they sent reluctantly as they do not normally do that, the guy on the phone I think felt sorry for me, because at this time it was at about the 6th time they came out to the site & keep in mind it takes ten or so days every time after you lodge with your energy provider for them to come out, no appointment they just turn up & I did everything they asked on that email and the next time they came out it was still unsuccessful? Finally I had to get a booked appointment and I also went to see the ombudsman. I am shocked that I am one of many people who they put through this horrendous experience. I have since spoken to so many others and we believe this needs to be address via the legal system. I intend to make this my business, my research has shown other Power companies make an appointment with you and tell you when they are at your site every thing you need and then in about 2 weeks they connect you. Jemema also charges the highest of everyone else and gives the worst customer service. I wish I had the choice of not being with them, I would leave immediately.Similar opinion?

An absolute joke of a company!
Been living in my apartment for 3 years now, always paid my bills on time and they plugged my gas for no reason, didn’t even try to speak or communicate with me, it’s now been 5 days with no gas. An absolute disgrace this company.

Builder: New connections
As a builder I have to make sure that we can finish a project in time, but a new era begins with Jemena. If you want to start a new house, before you start your design make sure you will apply for electricity connection, because only God knows if ever you will be connected with Electricity.
If we would have a government, they would've fix this matter. This is not an issue anymore this is a big problem.
I have applied 8 weeks ago and I been told nobody knows WHEN. Ridiculous....

Questions & Answers
Unhappycustomerasked
I applied to have the electricity supply abolished by Jemena a month ago, the house in Melbourne is going to be demolished and a new one built. I have been told by the work crews who have come out that they have no idea where my underground power supply originates on the pole out front. This has led to an open ended process where I am constantly told that it needs further investigation. I have a schedule to get the house built and am now sitting around wasting time and money waiting to have (what should be a simple disconnection done)???
As I have read here on this forum these procedures are in disarray and customer service is a joke, I will be taking this to the ombudsman I suppose and from there to my local government member. Is this a normal outcome for this situation??

ARTYasked
Whom do we, as customers, complain to, about the appalling service by Jemena. Is there a regulatory authority that oversees Jemena.
I have waited from 7am until 7pm on the day they said they will come to read the meter. I rang Jemena, I was asked to ring AGL.
When I rang AGL, the supplier about the issue I was asked to contact Jemena.
I have wasted a whole day just waiting for the meter to be read.

Graham K.asked
I’ve received an unsolicited mail from Jemma about a study for an offer of $30 e-gift card. The letter ask to complete a survey for qualification and then the offer of an upgrade the gas meter but it made no mention of costs. Contact number and website enclosed in the letter. Any one can give me an objective feedback please.
