Great call centre advisor

I was a bit apprehensive about switching to Home Energy, as they are a new company.
My property has 2 electric meters and Home Energy struggled to merge them to a single account, only allowing me access to one of the meters. I dreaded calling the call centre, being put on hold for hours. However, I was pleasantly surprised: I waited for less than a minute before speaking to an advisor (Mahee). Mahee sorted out my account, changed my direct debit and requested a smart meter installation so swiftly. She was polite, efficient and professional.

Avoid this company if you can.

Avoid this company if you can.

After closing my account, they continued attempting to take direct debits, issued contradictory emails (including setting up and cancelling a direct debit on the same day over a month after my account was settled and closed), and generated completely incorrect bills multiple times.

I was told I was in credit, received a refund, and then later received a “final demand” threatening action for money they claimed I owed — which turned out to be caused by their own billing errors.

Customer service refused to properly acknowledge their mistakes and instead tried to blame me for not cancelling a direct debit that they themselves had already confirmed was cancelled. On top of this - I asked them to erase my personal data (so they no longer have access to it to make these kind of mistakes) and they have refused to acknowledge the repeated requests.

The whole process was confusing, stressful and infuriatingly handled. I would strongly recommend checking all statements (bank and gas/electric bills) carefully on a regular basis or avoiding this company altogether.

Hello Tanya, thanks for your review and we’re really sorry to hear about your experience.

From what you’ve described, we can see this has been a frustrating and confusing situation, particularly after your account had already been closed. Receiving conflicting communications, incorrect billing, and a final demand after being told you were in credit is not the experience we want any customer to have.

We also understand your concerns around the Direct Debit and data handling. If a Direct Debit had already been confirmed as cancelled, you should not have been asked to take further action, and this should have been handled clearly by us. Likewise, requests relating to personal data should always be acknowledged and managed appropriately.

It’s clear we haven’t met expectations here, and we take this kind of feedback seriously.

We would like the opportunity to review this in full, ensure everything on your account has been correctly resolved, and address your data request properly. Please contact us at hello@homeenergy.co.uk (or reply with your details), and we will ensure a senior member of the team investigates this thoroughly and provides a clear resolution.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Sunil went out of his way to resolve…

Sunil went out of his way to resolve the issue that I had with the transfer of the service to another provider and receiving the final bill. He took clear action without the need to pass me around the company which has been a common experience elsewhere! I only left because Home Energy don't currently offer a fixed tariff which I wanted to sign up to in view of the global energy price increases.

Great customer service and an app that just works!

Always had good customer service from Home Energy and today was no different. The call was answered pretty much straight away and Sunil Datt, the guy taking the call, was very knowledgeable and very professional. Great customer service with a no-fuss app that works well.

Instant answering of a phone call, and multiple queries dealt with

Talking to Home Energy is such a pleasure. Normally everything can be done online. I have moved house, and in fact moving with Home Energy could not have been simpler. I just needed help to read a new meter, confirm how a small credit would be refunded on the old property, and to set my mind at rest that all was well. It was! Seriously, why go to any other supplier?

Super speedy, super helpful. I spotted a massive mistake 6 months into a new account with Home Energy that I had made. But Customer Service have sorted it out within 10mins!

Ok until smart meters fitted

Ok until smart meters fitted. fitted on 30/6/25 never one had a gas meter readout on the in home display. HE claimed it was a meter issue and sent SMS to replace. SMS said meter was communicating with their system, must be a HE issue. still no readings on IHD. HE kept asking every month for meter readings, all the gas bills showed estimated readings. I decided to switch to Fuse 9/2/26 and they submitted their switch final meter readings. HE dispute the gas reading by Fuse and wont send a final bill. They are currently sat on £629 of my money and wont refund. I have now raised a complaint with HE (HE2001705/389) and spoken to the energy ombudsman.
HE failure to fixed gas meter issues has been repeated over and over based on the reviews on this site, showing complete apathy, inconsideration, and ineptitude to their customers when there's a genuine issue. Thats generally the issue with shopping around for the best deal... the downside is those suppliers dont step up when the going gets tough. HE management are obviously shysters or inept!

Response to HE
You talk the talk but dont walk the walk. You've failed many customers and come back with the obligitary apologies. Actions are what people want, not words. Send me my final bill and refund my credit today. Its been over a month since I switched and all you've done so far is talk! Validate your words with actions!

Hello Mr Cullen, we’re very sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you taking the time to share such detailed feedback.

This is not the level of service we aim to provide. We understand how frustrating it must have been to experience ongoing issues with your gas meter and in-home display following your smart meter installation, particularly with repeated requests for readings and estimated billing over an extended period.

We’re also concerned to hear about the delay with your final bill and refund following your switch, as well as the dispute over the final meter readings. This is clearly not acceptable, and we sincerely apologise for the inconvenience and frustration caused.

We can see that you’ve raised a formal complaint, and we will ensure this is reviewed thoroughly as a priority. We’ll work to resolve the billing dispute and refund any balance owed to you as quickly as possible.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we’re sorry for the experience you’ve had.

Team HE.
