Review summary

Many consumers also appreciate that the overall sign-up process is very smooth, straightforward, and simple to complete either online or directly over the phone.

I was already an existing Alinta Energy…

I was already an existing Alinta Energy customer and when I tried to apply for fair go 40 account, my account number would not accept with my name and birth date. So I had to apply as a new customer to receive the discount. I found the process very confusing for an existing customer.

Linda provided great customer service

Linda wonderfully explained the details of the Home Deal Smart Gas Offer and she answered all my questions. Very patient and very professional.
Signing up was very straight forward and she organised a meter inspection for me to make the transition more quickly.
I found the offer details through the Energy Made Easy website.
