I think this is the first time I ever connected electricity to a home. It was easier than I thought. The hardest bit was to determine the right provider. Electricity provider here has been privatised hence there are many competitions out there. Luckily I did my initial survey and pretty much leaning into AGL. First I ask around who is using what, then I hop onto those compare market websites like Meerkat and iSelect. OMG the iSelect is super fast, the minute I click 'Send' phone rings and they are already proposing the perfect plan.
While on the front the options that they proposed are really good i.e. discount as high as 38%, on closer scrutiny you will find the base rate is also much higher. AGL has a lower discount but their base rate is lower as well. They also verify that I am on a dual meter system which means anything thermal generating like water heater or heater goes on a lower wattage! This might be something common here but for the kampung girl aka me - I was impressed.
Not to mention as partners of Flybuys, they are going to credit me 10,000 Flybuys points. That means $50.00 for groceries. Nite, grab your recycle bag, let's do some grocery shopping.
I told them I need to electricity connect in 2 days. They didn't even blink and it's done in 2 days. I thought it will take at lest 15 days to do it but I might be jaded by house purchase process and try not to set too high expectation. Maybe this is the standard SLA - I don't know but I am pretty sure they don't do it that fast in Boleh land. Anyway super impressed.
Thanks to the efficient electric people I can do my house inspection right on time. Also it feels right to subscribe to this provider as I own a small piece of the business. Better pay my own company then a competitor!
Go AGL and fingers crossed the settlement will go smoothly as well.
