I'm moving into a "new to me" property near Brisbane this coming weekend and I organized via the online system a week ago for an AGL tech to come to the house to connect the electicity, usually this is not problem.....now, with the property being in QLD l needed to be at the property for the connection to be carried out. Today l rang to confirm the application and was told by AGL that the technician would be at the property between 1pm and 6pm....l arranged to stay home from work today so this could happen.... needless to say, he never turned up and of course now we don't have electricity.....l again rang and was told the application was too late.....the service person on the phone never told me this when l made the application..... and l wasted a day off work waiting for nothing.....why..??
Now l'm told the electricity can't be turned on until Monday afternoon.....l have 5 people moving into the house tomorrow......how does a house with 5 people including 3 children survive with no lights, no hot water, no heater, no cooking facilities, , no way to bathe etc....for three days.??? And l have to waste another day off work waiting for a technician who may or may not come on Monday......How does this happen..???
