Rang AGL to get both electricity and gas connection accounts created and connected.
What a drama and complicated delays!
For electricity, Statewide Electrical, has to supply us with NMI number that I have to quote to AGL. Then AGL will provide us with a JOB number. Now this apparently takes 5 to 8 working days! WHAT?! Only then, Statewide Electrical can organise the meter and do the grid connection.
So, the people involved are Statewide Electrical to do the actual work. AGL to organise the account and organise Ausgrid to get the grid account. Fuck so many middleman! The annoying bit is the time it takes for paperwork to be done, at our computer age. Arrrrgh!
So, next is the gas connection.
Since we never had gas in the old house, this means AGL has to send someone to come over and give us a quote on the work that is required to get the pipes to our property. Time taken, 10 working days.
Once we accept the quote (as we have any other choice! Dah!) they will go ahead and organise the connection. Time to get gas connected, wait for it... 30-40 working days!
Are these companies SERIOUS!
I need to look for alternative suppliers ASAP.
