My gas power up has been pending since winter meaning I can’t power up if I need to. Twice this has apparently been escalated with the promise of a resolution within 24 hours. Twice this has not been done. Today I’m informed this is affecting every Utilita customer although I haven’t actually found anyone else who has this issue yet! Fobbed off constantly by these useless cowboys. It’s time to change supplier. This company is unreliable.

My inquiry is about the date for installing a smart gas meter.

Everything went smoothly once I started talking to the employee about my issue, and he helped me resolve it; that was a great help from him.
