Only retailer that still charges higher rates the more you use
Disgusting joke of a company. Deplorable money sucking company that is the only distributor that charges higher tariff rates the more you use, every other distributor gets cheaper.

Absolutely disgraceful and disrespectful joke of a company.
These jokers want to come and read gas meters in apartments but refuse to give any indication of when they are coming. They won't even give the day. They expect people to just sit around all day waiting for them. They wanted to change my meter and put a new one and surprisingly they gave me a window of when they were coming. But of course they dont even show up and just waste my morning. Pathetic.

Reported gas leak
Reported a gas leak, technician came out and detected gas, advised will be back in 2 weeks to fix it, 2 months later nothing had happened, reported again to Jemena, no notes on previous job, apparently it's with another team.. Still waiting for gas leak to be fixed!

I am not with Jemena but they turned off my Gas Meter
I found a Jemena Leak Test Notification Form in my letterbox, phoned AGL who has been my supplier for years, who knew nothing about this. I discovered that my hot water service was cold, which took another 48 hrs to get rectified, obviously did some investigation & decided to call Plumber. The Gas meter had been turned off which had resulted in the gas hot water service pilot light being extinguished. Plumber had to complete safety check, primed gas to water heater & then ignite pilot light. It seems the gas was turned off at the wrong address....Read more
I have claimed reimbursement for money paid to plumber. Not impressed, Jemena's van was parked on grass verge outside my house, when I arrived home but other than noting van was parked there wasn't concerned. I have lodged a claim form to have money paid to Plumber reimbursed but should also claim nuisance & inconvenience money as well!!1 comment

Jemena is ruining gas service
One of the most irresponsible, lazy and ignorant company in Australia. I helped my friend set up his restaurant in last Dec. Our retailer told us that the meter reader would come at19 Dec and read the meter in order to move-in our gas. The restaurant was closed and nobody would be there for that day. They won't give you the contact details of the meter reader and neither they can give your number to the meter reader and let the meter reader call you before they show up. Giving us a call before you come. What an easy thing to do but can save us a lot effort and time. But they simply can't. So I waited there for a whole day. Guess what, nobody came.

Jemena is terrible
My request for Abolishment - Decommissioning and meter removal is still not closed. I called Jemena 4 days ago to report and was advised by the operator that somebody from Jemena will contact me within 2 working days. Still waiting for their convenient time to call me. In the meantime, I called the subcontractor and he could not advise when he will come around. He said just look out for your gas meter & if its removed that means the job is done!!!. Very poor and pathetic service from both Jemena and their sub contractor. This is my second post and I have little or no hope from Jemena. Talk about customer service.

Jemena - WARNING
Ladies and Gents,
Don’t trust this organisation to do the right thing (nor the EWON (unless it’s something really simple)). Jemena and the EWON = Collusive behaviour. The EWON does not remain impartial throughout your complaint/dispute.
The Jemena internal dispute resolution is there for “compliance purposes” only. The Jemena Customer Resolutions Manager is a waste of time. They will do everything they can to cover their negligence from the eyes of the law (e.g. delete or amend records on file).
Before you accept a Jemena offer, unless...Read more
the works are very very straight forward, have your lawyer conduct a first pass review. You will find that Jemena does not apply appropriate skill and care when assessing your application for connection/upgrade etc. Jemena will make sure (in the offer) they stipulate what they are going to do (which in most cases is very little and next to nothing). They will in 99.99% of the cases neglect to advise you of your responsibilities (i.e. what you need to do). Hence, when the incompetent gas inspector “inspects” your meter bar and regulator installation, he will most probably reject your installation and request that you carry out “additional works” outside the bounds of the offer (which could run into the thousands and thousands of dollars). Apparently this is acceptable practice (as advised by the EWON, however, NSW Fair Trading think otherwise). Also, in Jemena’s view, it’s more important to ensure that the meter bar is installed within +/- 1mm tolerance (hence reject your installation and not provide you with a gas meter) than it is to plug/blank/block a charged consumer gas line (with no meter installed). Meaning, in this scenario, a young child can turn the ball valve (the valve just before your gas meter), and releasing gas into the atmosphere (at high pressure). Combine this with a very small spark and you have a significant explosion. I have reported this to several organisations (at least 8) to no avail – No body cares!Similar opinion?

This organisation should be banned - it is terrible
Same as most other people's reviews. These people are the most incompetent people I have ever had to deal with in my 44 years in business. Their 'process' of doing NOTHING by phone is despicable. After months waiting, and numerous password re-sets to log in and numerous -calls where all is they say is 'you have to log in' - I can see why people want to shut this organisation down. Not everyone has internet. Not everyone can use such a difficult system. Most of us can use the phone, so let us get a gas connection by phone. After 2 months, I finally got 'an offer' but I can't accept it because they won't do it over the phone. Stupid, stupid process. Everyone MUST complain to the Energy & Water Ombudsman and to their local member.

The most awful service from Jemena
Disconnected the gas for re-building my house but after being charged $13500 for re-connection I am waiting for any dates for the work to be done.
What a joke.
Who made the decision to have yet another monopoly in essential services?
No other country would allow this to happen.

Their contractor refused to do the Job
I took the morning off to be home to have the gas meter replaced. It was only replaced in the past 24 months and was apparently faulty from the beginning. Although he'd assured me he tested it and it was fine. Their contractor arrived and refused to do the job due to the difficult access. Although I did mention to them when it was organised that it was difficult access and the previous contractor they sent refused to put the laundry door back on following the job. And that was after he complained about the job. Extremely unprofessional.

They have owed me $480 since November, and every time I call get put on hold repeatedly, where I normally get cut off. Wasted hours of my life, for a fee they admit is owed to me, but can't get things to get moving.
Energy and Water Ombudsman has been contacted

gas abolishment
I would say that I have never encountered worse service than this. Its shocking that one can be treated so badly in Australia.
the company has a heartless, ruthless policy and don,t care even if you die.
I keep calling everyday and I was made to believe that my gas disconnection is their priority and they will genuinely help me but two weeks later was told that i did not even made a request as urgent or early on. And the charges we pay for being tortured is 1155 dollars yes that much money for disconnecting the service and even after paying that you have to wait for -- no one knows.
Did not imagine this kind of work culture could possibly exist in this era.

Should be negative stars
These incompetents failed to disconnect us as requested at THREE different addresses within a 2 month period resulting in us being incorrctly charged for other peoples usage, in one case being charged on estimated initial and final reading at a rate 5 times higher than actual reading. If I could give them -5 stars I would do so.

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.

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.

Subsequently I have found out that Jemena own the equipment, that is the Gas Meter.
ce, in writing of their intent to carry out work, they did not in this instance. Apparently they do not have to inform the Provider, in this case AGL that they will be carry out this work & only notified AGL after the event. I complained to Jemena in writing, several times & got repeated excuses for poor work practices & was told I am responsible for maintaining my own equipment but when I requested the name of appropriate authority that I could lodge a formal complaint to, Jemena reviewed my request for refund of money paid to plumber to get gas re-instated & stated that as 'good faith gesture' I would have money refunded.It seems they scheduled replacement of the Gas Meter & although they are supposed to notify the home owner in advan...
