Electrical contractor fee claims
If you've paid a licensed electrical contractor to investigate an issue with your electricity supply, if it's found to be our fault you can request reimbursement.
Making a claim for electrical contractor fees
We can reimburse you for reasonable charges for work done by a licensed electrical contractor if there's been:
- Loss of supply to your hot water system caused by a fault with our equipment that supplies power to the hot water system. You need to let us know as soon as possible about the fault and get a service order number
- Loss of supply to your home caused by a fault in our electricity distribution network. You need to let us know as soon as possible about the fault and get a fault call number.
We can reimburse for work that directly relates to an Ergon Energy fault. Reasonable charges include a standard call out fee and, where applicable, standard hourly rates for work completed.
Documents to support your claim
To help us assess your request, please give us a tax invoice from your licensed electrical contractor to confirm the type and value of your claim. Include a service order number or fault call number on the invoice.
How to submit a claim
You can submit your reimbursement claim in two ways:
- Make an online claim via Customer Self Service.
- Fax or post your claim with a covering letter, including all the information listed above, and a tax invoice attached:
- Fax to (07) 4932 7124 marked 'Attention Claims'.
