Delay in gas connection

[Bwo88]

AGL reference 6AAATCJ6.

I requested to change my gas retailer to AGL nearly 2.5 weeks ago but my gas connection has not been done yet even though I was assured it would be completed by last Friday. The AGL app is showing “connection in progress”.

I understand that connections need to happen within 10 days.
I am beginning to question why I even bothered to change to AGL given this delay.

Hi Bwo88, Thank you for taking the time to reach out to us. 

The process to switch your gas can take up to 10-90 business days because the switch only occurs at the time of your next meter read after your 10-business day cooling off period. 

Your distributor will carry out an actual reading of your meter and this will be provided to your old retailer for a final bill. 

Once we are provided with the meter read, your account will be activated. 

Kind Regards, 

Natalie

We have the same problem here, gas connection was supposed to happen this Tuesday (I enquired 1 week ago when we found a letter saying that we had been disconnected), and the previous tenants apparently also used AGL so I don’t understand why it is delayed?
luckily it’s warm enough in Perth (heat wave) so I can deal with cold showers 🥶 for now!

Hi @Japey - is this issue still requiring resolution?

Kind regards,
