Customer received a note about unrestrained dogs, but they were actually inside. requesting meter reading without dog concerns.
Hi. We live at 20 sapphire crt north Mackay. I received a note in my mail box stating that my dogs were unrestrained. This is the second time it’s happened. If my front door is closed and you can’t physically see my dogs then they are locked up inside. How do I know this because I wasn’t home. So my dogs were inside locked up. They bark from inside the house. I’m not a meter reader So you can send your fellas out and read my meter. And put a note for all to read that if you can’t see the dogs then they are locked up. INSIDE.

Customer frustrated with long wait times when calling ergon energy, suggests implementing a call-back system like other companies.
Tried to ring Ergon regarding my Bill rang three different numbers and was told on three occasions average wait time 40 minutes .I think it is about time your equpment for calls was updated. Why is lt not like other companys where they will put you in a line and ring you back, who can hang on line for 40 minutes.

Customer seeks reimbursement for test due to meter discrepancy, but ergon energy claims test results were normal and debits account for test cost.
Acc no 15987850 I had my meter tested in March as my solar credit had dropped way below from previous credits The technician Brian who did the test told me at completion that the meter was out by a little over 2% & Ergon would have to reimburse me He also mentioned that the meter should be replaced But when I asked Ergon to give me the results of the test, the reply was that the test showed everything was normal & they debit my acc for the cost of the test, I requested if the result had been mixed with someone else’s test & to please check with the technician who performed my test[Brian] I received email afterwards telling me to contact this department Wayne Macintosh

Customer is concerned about not getting the best deal on their home energy service with ergon energy and requests a review of their account for a more cost-effective option.
I'm worried that I might not be getting the best deal for my home energy service. Having been with Ergon Energy for over 3 years, and with living costs on the rise, it's important to me that I'm on the most suitable plan. I'm currently on Tariff 11 residential flat rate. Could Ergon Energy please check my account and inform me if there's a more cost-effective option that meets my requirements?
