Great customer service

Luis, with Octopus customer service, has been great. He has also been prompt and efficient when answering my questions. Octopus has been great about helping get my smart thermostat installed. I am looking forward to many years in partnership with Octopus.

Caring and Simple

So many other companies sound like telemarketers as soon as they answer the phone. This one doesn't! I love how you can hear genuine care in the voices of employees when you call with questions. Lizzeth was very sweet and helped with renewing my plan for the 3rd year today. The plans are easy to understand, the statements you see online (of how your bill is calculated) are simple, and overall I've never had any issues.

Amazing service

Luis was amazing at helping me today. I was initially upset due to price change and he explained everything to me and what I needed to do to fix the issue. He was super quick at replies once all my information was submitted and got everything taken care of quickly. Thank you Luis!

Prompt, authentic customer service

I emailed Octopus at the very last minute to request a payment arrangement, which is something I've always experienced to be a low-priority concern with my previous energy providers. Their agent (Lizzeth) replied to me promptly, offering a resolve in authentic words (not a form letter) and displaying a level of professional and personal engagement this old girl has never experienced with another energy company! I've known quite a few, too. Thank you Lizzeth for your time, and thank you Octopus.

EXCEPTIONAL Customer Service

I called the US office to discuss a discrepancy with my UK bill. I spoke with Payden. I was impressed by his true professionalism, knowledge, caring nature and especially for his patience and understanding.
He resolved the issue promptly as well.

He is an asset to Octopus Energy and is an exceptional representative for the company. Payden's commitment to the highest level of customer service is to be commended. I hope that his hard work and dedication is acknowledged and rewarded.

New WiFi thermostat

Clarissa was knowledgeable in checking the status of my newly installed WiFi thermostat. She was able to verify my new rates and make sure they were correct.
