Just swapped Energy providers from Lumo to Alinta after Lumo increased their rates... I have been with Alinta before, they are one of the Cheapest Energy Retailers on the market and have flexible payment plans, not forcing you to have to pay direct debit...
I regularly swap Retailers around the end of the financial year as this is generally when they increase their rates...

After spending ages on the phone with someone who didn't have, and couldn't get their shit together, the relevant information wasn't passed on to Alinta.
Then, when I tried to amend the information with Alinta I was told I'd have to go through the process again. In both cases I couldn't understand the people I was dealing with because of their accent.
I don't want to deal with people I can't understand, and can't get organised.

Not Happy

My husband Geza received a letter today from Alinta and he is very upset as to why the electricity had been disconnected from his brother's property at 37 Imelda Way, Qld. Geza lives in Sydney, NSW and wants the electricity to be put back on. But the person he spoke to said that he will need to pay to have it put back on again. Why? The letter that Geza received today was sent as a redirection from his brothers' property and it's not his faut that he only got the letter today 9/7/2026 through Australia Post. Geza is extremely angry about the whole situation.

Hi Agnes,

We understand your husband's frustration regarding the electricity disconnection and the delay in receiving the notification. We recognize that receiving such news significantly after the fact, due to mail redirection, is incredibly upsetting. We are committed to reviewing the circumstances surrounding this disconnection and the communication process. We want to ensure we fully understand what occurred and address the concerns about the need for payment to restore service. Please know we are taking this feedback seriously to improve our processes.

Thanks,

Their contact could barely speak English

Applied online to transfer my gas service to Alinta. Received a phone call later that day from their representative. He English was so bad I could hardly understand him and had to continually ask him to repeat himself to determine what he was saying. He then asked for my meter number which he then couldn't find. He then cancelled my application and told me phone Alinta to re-apply. I then had to make a long phone call, where fortunately the representative spoke clear English, and go through all of the questions again that I had answered on line the previous day

Not impressed at all

I am not impressed with the way i have been duped. I was talked into switching companys because the tarrifs were better and the solar sale was convincing. I could have stayed with my origanal provider and still got the same shit treatment.
