Complaints procedure
If something isn't right with your system, how we've dealt with you, or how we've handled a complaint, tell us. Complaints are free to make, and you can have someone make one for you.
How to complain
- Phone 0402 721 816
- Email noonanjack2@gmail.com
- In writing Litmec Electrical, 6 Garnsworthy Place, Newport VIC 3015
Safety first. If you notice heat, smoke, sparking, a burning smell or water near your inverter or battery, turn the system off at the isolators if it's safe to do so, then call us. Safety issues get a same-day call back and a site visit within 24 hours.
What we do
- Record it the day it arrives: your details, the site, the system, what went wrong and what you'd like done.
- Acknowledge it within 2 business days, telling you who is handling it and when you'll hear from us next.
- Investigate, which may include a site visit, monitoring data, and input from the installer and manufacturer.
- Respond in writing within 15 business days with what we found, how we'll fix it and when. If we can't give you a final answer by then, we'll tell you before the 15 days are up, with a progress update and the date to expect it.
- Give you a final response within 25 business days of receiving your complaint, unless you agree to more time. It will tell you where to go if you're not satisfied.
- Fix it at no cost where it's covered by warranty or Australian Consumer Law, including parts, labour, call-outs and freight.
- Close it only once you agree it's resolved, or after a final written response.
If it isn't resolved
You can take your complaint to any of these. Our final response will include their details.
- New Energy Tech Consumer Code Administrator (once we're an Approved Seller)
- Consumer Affairs Victoria
- Energy Safe Victoria, for electrical safety
- Solar Victoria, for systems installed with a Solar Victoria rebate or loan
- Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT), for consumer and trader disputes

Records
We keep every complaint and its outcome for at least 7 years and review them each quarter to find and fix patterns.
