Easy switch to lower rate provider
A residential electricity user in Sydney, i had received my quarterly bill and reviewed it to other suppliers.
QEnergy had the lowest rate for electricity supply and the the daily charge. A telephone call fro a customer rep a who made my switching easy. A further query was answered next day.
So far i am very satisfied with QEnergy.

Great service, grea rates
Have had excellent service from QEnergy, and the rates still make me pinch myself, superb. Even with the recent increase in wholesale rates across all energy suppliers, my QEnergy rate actually went down for the first steps of my plan, and up by only I cent per kWh for my top step. Highly recommended.

Disconnection service appalling
Q Energy are very eager to offer assistance to get you to sign up with them. Different story when you require and book in a disconnection with plenty of notice ( 3 Weeks) due to an end of lease. Be aware that they will bill you on the date but not do the disconnection until 20 days later and bill you with more chargers.

Illegal telemarketing practices
It's clear from other reviews that this company engages in very dubious business practices, which I experienced in an illegal telemarketing call from them. They refused to disclose, as required by law, how they had obtained the number, made false claims about speaking to someone at the company before, and pretended to be doing a "bill review of our electricity account". Only the business doesn't have one.

(1) As has always been the case with us and is so with many businesses, we pay Invoices once a month meaning some will be overdue but this has been noted prior (2) This invoice was slightly overdue (3) The correct procedure for chasing debts before referring onto a debt collector was not followed and (4) Upon calling the Debt Collector (COLLECT MORE), they too acknowledged it was ridiculous and th...Read more

However, they continued to leave the power on for the new building tenant and kept billing me!

We apologise if this letter has caused you concern however, we can only investigate if you give us further information.

We understand you have already spoken to our Collections Team yesterday 22/09 and established this consumption period was prior to the dates you moved into the site and whilst the building was under construction, therefore as advised, nothing further is progressing with respect to any escalated collection activity.

worst in the energy company
This is the worst energy company. They bill you when they feel like billing you. I was on a monthly billing cycle. I rang 6-7 times to receive my bill with no bill sent or emailed till 4 months later. Then they disconnected my electricity and said it was my fault. Cost me hundreds of dollars, for a fault of their own. No sorry nothing.

Hi Andrew,
We apologise as there appears to be a breakdown in communication and misunderstanding. ... Read more
QEnergy acknowledge the previous billing issue on the account regarding your billing cycle however, we can see this was corrected in July 2015 and then the issue of payment for this dispute was resolved in February 2016. At this time, QEnergy offered a payment arrangement term that you did not honour and instead you chose to make your own arrangement. In good faith, QEnergy accepted this repayment schedule, that was set up without agreement with us, as a gesture of goodwill, however this was only accepted for the bills under dispute. Your commitment on those bills was completed in June 2016, for which we thank you. We consider disconnection a serious and last resort action. Prior to taking this action, we had been attempting to contact you to discuss your account for many weeks. Unfortunately all our attempts via telephone, email, post and registered mail had failed. Early September we were able to reach you and we did in fact advise that continuation of power may be disrupted if we could not resolve and that we needed further discussion or we would progress to disconnection of the site. We understand we have now reached a partial agreement and your power was returned to the site on the same day, after an outage period of less than 2 hours. It would be appreciated if you could contact us again and continue conversation so we can resolve to our mutual satisfaction and we do not wish any further misunderstanding. -Your QEnergy TeamSimilar opinion?

Discounts not linked to settlement discount for payment on time is great!
Having read a number of the other reviews. I find the fact that you get the discount (even if you pay late) better than other providers that give the discount ONLY if you pay on time.
As a result, expect that you will get a call if you have not paid your bill. This is just good business practice. As I recall, at no time did they offer FREE ELECTRICITY.

Bad business practice and charges
We have been with QEnergy 2 years. At the start they reneged on solar credits, policy was changed and my manager was not aware. Best they could offer was to not charge a termination fee if I wanted to leave. Very big of them. After that has numerous problems with them charging our account for the wrong amount. Then they increased their rates by 44%!!! last month. Now with the final bill we missed by 1 day, received a message outside of business hours and then a threat to send to a collection agency. Maybe if they would have read there notes they may have had better business practices in dealing with a leaving credit. Both of my sons work at Origin and AGL and will post this to our Facebook to be shared

Have been with Qenergy and I dont think they realize I still have an ongoing account which I'm tempted to cancel. Moved onto new supplier due to very unprofessional reminders being sent out when never been overdue or even due.

I have been with Energy for around 5 years now and have had multiple invoicing issues. Most recently I received an invoice for 8 months worths of back payments which were a result of Energy under charging one of my 5 accounts.

Our team member regrets that the situation was not handled in the manner you expected and deserved. Rest assured, coaching has been provided. We’d like to apologise again for the billing errors and reiterate that we are happy to extend payment terms to suit your circumstances on the billing that was produced in error. We hope for your understanding that on occasion, errors inevitably occur. Unfortunately, as a small business ourselves, we are unable to waive the consumption costs should this happen, as we are always looking to reduce and maintain our business costs so savings can be passed on to all our customers. We are saddened that this issue has prompted you to look to close your accounts and we hope that you would reconsider and allow us to serve you better.

why would you want to switch to them.... I only owed them $700/ and was disconnected. Yes, I fell back with my payments, but I have a good reason " I had no money ". and now.... no electricity. I called them and was told that if I can pay half at the time of call they can put in the request for re connection which will take any time between 24 - 48hrs and the full balance must be paid the next day. Since i was still struggling financially I asked if I pay the requested half now can the balance please be made $100 a week (next 3 weeks) to which she said, I will have to put you through to the supervisor. When the supervisor came on she just rudely said, as they have been patient for the last few months I have only ONE option and that is to pay the full amount to get re connection done.
Even though I explained that the lady before offered to take only half to get reconnection she insisted that I now have to pay pretty much the full amount. got nowhere with my begging and she just said " ïf you dont want to pay then i am just going to end the call" - and so she did. By the way almost 5 yrs of service and i have never let bills get to this. this is loyalty.
There is NO care anymore.. its all about the money.
anyway, guess other retailers must be same. but i doubt they will disconnect for just $700 (that actually included the bill due end of this month too)
