Automate credit balance refunds when leaving

ood experience while a customer, only gripe is that when I left, my credit balance was not transferred back to me automatically... You have my bank details, you know I've left. The refund section on the app wasn't working so i had to send an email. It's unnecessary friction that feels intentional.

Smart meter installation

I just had smart meters installed - online booking great and was able to get a slot just two weeks out.

Rafael from Sureserve did the meter change out, extremely pleasant engineer and super efficient. He conducted a safety check post meter installation, explained how the in-home display worked and that was it. Great job.

Octopus are a delight

Octopus are a delight. Every call handler is unbelievable. I have no idea if they are the cheapest on the market I simply picked them because of their customer service. Having used all the other major suppliers in the last 20 years I can without a doubt say you won’t beat octopus on dealing with an issue! 10/10 recommend!

Ignorant customer service.

Ignorant customer service.
Agent did not read my query about off peak tariffs, asking for them.

Supposedly a new customer, sent two emails and two follow up’s, no response despite time critical.

Cancelled and going elsewhere!

Excellent customer service…

They provide excellent customer service who go above and beyond to help. I reached out via email which was very easy to do, Chole was super quick to respond and was extremely helpful in sorting out my query and getting me the help I needed. Would recommend them one hundred percent.

Despite having kids in the background

Despite having kids in the background, she found and solved the issue in less than 15 minutes, put in a further fix to make sure it couldn't happen again and kept a bright, wonderful demeanor all throughout

I cannot recommend this company enough

Absolutely loving Octopus Energy so…

Absolutely loving Octopus Energy so far—great rates, easy app, and everything just works smoothly. Big special thanks to Saul who helped me get my in-home display up and running perfectly! He was so helpful, patient, and got it fixed quickly. Couldn’t be happier—highly recommend!

Great customer service

I rang as I had a query with my electricity usage. I spoke to Aimee who was extremely helpful. Rather than just fob me off, Aimee spent time suggesting things I could do to work out why my usage has increased so much. When I asked her about prices in the future etc she was honest and very knowledgable. Great customer service - thank you Aimee.
