While the electricity prices are cheap, gas is another story with Momentum. I find the prices to be a bit strangely high considering I don’t use my heater at all or my other gas appliances often. They do offer great instalment plans and the option to extend your due date, though, which is really good. Customer support is lovely.
Momentum are the cheapest energy provider I’ve ever been with, always flabbergasted at how small my bills are. Customer service is lovely, and they are more than happy to help provide solutions when you can’t pay on time. They offer instalment plans, accept concession cards, direct or manual deposit, etc! Just very easy to use for an energy provider. I won’t be switching any time soon.
They are Australian owned and green energy.
This provider is easy to deal with on the phone and in person, they keep you informed of any changes to their policies and charges. Great electricity provider, very happy.
Seems better than some. Bills aren’t as high and haven’t had any problems with them.
