Great customer service

Called in for a letter a credit and the agent was so helpful, clear and quick and precise. Quick and to the point and knowledgeable- how we wish all customer service agents could be.

Worried. But sorted quickly!

I had an issue with my energy account. Within 10 minutes of emailing Octopus, one of your colleagues Mirza Imamovic, sorted my query out and put my mind at rest. Excellent service. Thank you Mirza.

Representative Marie

I spoke with the kindest person ever named Marie! She was very helpful and was full of knowledge on every question I had about the solar contract I was looking into! I recommend her to everyone and if she hasn’t gotten one yet, she deserves a raise!!!!

Problem solved with excellent and speedy service

I had a problem with payment methods and called, they answered within a minute and I was able to talk to a real human being, Eric. He was very professional and got my issue sorted in just a few minutes. Dealing with bills sucks already, this being easy made it a lot less painful <3

Outstanding customer service

Clarissa is a great customer service representative and every time you call Octopus Energy she will answer all your questions kindly, I recommend to ask for her assistance! She and every one that answers the phone when you reach the company will give you an outstanding service.

I called Octopus Energy to discuss why I was charged two different Oncor delivery charges this month & your CSR Eric explained that Oncor’s price changes once a year & that happened during the month. We also spoke about my contract expiring in a few months & he was extremely helpful with ideas & suggestions how I can remain with Octopus Energy. I was impressed with him & with Octopus’ cancellation policy & overall efforts to retain customers.
