it is illegal for them to turn up after 6pm and the company they work for will be in for a MASSIVE fine if it can be proven when they came around. I have it on good authority that Utility Warehouse has been shut down now for breach of copyright - google utility warehouse and you'll see straight away who they stole the idea from

7pm two very tall intimidating looking young men in black shirts with LEDified or similar on their polo tops. They not only rang the bell but banged on our door! Luckily both of us at home. I object to these kinds of calls at this time of night or at any time. I have a sticker about the illegality of doorknocking and will be putting it up very shortly!

By any chance their names were not Ben and Ben were they?......Bugger, I just googles LED scams australia as it all seemed a bit sus.

Door knocking again same scam this time asked for glass of water to get the photo for the boss as my back was turned ! The Utility warehouse is obviously unregulated by Govt like in the UK

What is so bad about that I got set up with them and they dropped my rate and put me through to LEDIFIED to get my lights changed ??

They knocked on our door and said they were working for the Government. He said they (Government) wanted to faze out a particular light bulb. He said the ones on our verandah were the ones that catch fire. He stepped just in the door way to take a photo of our lights but instead took a photo of the smoke detector, when I told him what it was he said that would be fine. Now they call all the time but don't leave a message. Never again will I listen to door knockers!!!

So they will knock on your door, ask you if you've heard about the government phase out of the 50W halogen down lights. They'll try to come into your house to take a photo of the lights, offer to get you a free quote to replace them (with government incentives). They also offer you a free bill comparison to help you save money on your energy bill, as well as a free solar panel quote. Don't give them any information, especially your phone number, its not worth it.

Don't, just don't. If you open the door and it's Utility Warehouse, just slam the door in their face. It's impossible to be more rude than these people deserve.

I had the door knock and follow up call. They are extremely friendly, which made me suspicious.

When they called, they worked hard to establish a rapport and tried to explain why I'd be better off switching to APG. I pulled her up on it, and said I was expecting a call about LED lighting, not a sales call on behalf of APG. She got defensive and I told her I did not have time for a lengthy sales call. No doubt they will call again.

Yep I stupidly signed as well for so called permission to check prices for me and call me back....Got me when I was busy...when he finally left he said I will just put a little heart enxt to the signature because I know you love me...I pad was cracked and broken and didnt have name ID just a tshirt with logo from Utility Warehouse....very sus about it...from now on I wont give doorknockers a chance...Have found out legally they cant come before or after certain hours or on weeknds or public holidays...printing off the info and keeping it next to the door to shove in their faces......

Just had two guys knock on the door from Utility W/House re replacing exiting down lights with LED lights, Government program 50% sponsored. Asked to see my power bill, did not supply, as a I thought it strange. They would quote me, that's all. Then I searched the missed call to see the other blogs, confronted them in the street and asked to see their supervisor. He claimed it was all above board and I would not hear from them again.

They aren't with apg as they said thats the worst company to be with.

Had a guy come around the other afternoon from this company. Have received two calls from them in the last two days. However, the one thing concerning me....I unassumingly initialed for something on the iPad he had with him and can't for the life of me remember what he said I was initialing for (convenient that it was a young ESL backpacker and his bad English made it easy for me to lose the gist of what the hell was going on...and too polite to ask him to leave). Does anyone know what I possibly signed for? I'm really worried that I've unknowingly signed over to them. My name isn't on out current electricity acct, and he didn't get my partners name. Has anyone else done this also?

This company is called the Utility Warehouse. They get your number via door knockers who will offer you a free bill comparison or quote on LED lights. They are not "energy consultants" as the young man I was speaking to tried to present it. They are just salespeople trying to sign you up with Australian Power and Gas. A VERY EXPENSIVE BILLING COMPANY. The young man I spoke to told me incorrect rates and I was appalled when I saw the real rates I had been fooled into recieving. DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY

Won't stop calling me it's a joke 7am starts 4 times even 9pm the rang all for power boards omg really what these ppl get paid to ring us all day everyday I've tryed to call back but now i wnt eva answer like they dnt

Constant calls; more than 10 over 3 days. I wish there was a way to set up call-blocking.

No message after two calls a day ..
After install of govt power boards for TV etc.. No answer when called back..

they called e and didn't leave a message, tried to ring back and they didn't answer...
Very frustrating....

They knocked on my door asking about power saving boards had me sign to say I'd received them then called my the next day to say I'd changed supply company &now won't return my calls so I can cancel!!! So suck of this harassment in my own home!!

Seems I'm with the rest of the folk here. Missed calls never leave a message and don't answer a call back
