Outstanding Customer Service
Yet again Octopis exceeded my expectation with their fantastic customer service!! I had booked 2 hours of free electricity using their Weekend Happy Hours scheme, only to experience an area wide power cut covering the 2 hours booked. I contacted customer services to see if they could recredit me with the 2 free hours to use another weekend. I got a well written holding email response from "Jack" to say he had referred my request to management as they hadn't had this issue before. Within 2 days, I got a response from Jack to say they couldn't recredit me with the 2 free hours, but they had credited my account with £7.93, being the average I had used in previous Power Up hours, far exceeding my expectations!! Fantastic customer service and it is no wonder they have grown to the largest energy supplier in the UK - they truly are customer focused!

Phoning Octopus Energy...
I phoned Octopus Energy and the call was answered within 30 seconds. I spoke to a polite man who assisted me with my query of renewing my tariff. My request was honoured, without question, and I ended the call a very satisfied customer. It couldn't have gone any better.

Crystal has your back, a true gem!
I had an issue when I moved into a new property and had no way of reading my metres as the smart display was missing. Crystal talked me through the process of getting up to date readings from the current units and sorted out replacing my smart meter with a new one. The installation team are booked in, she took care of everything. Even though there were complications that delayed things on their end, she kept me updated and didn't forget about my case. I really felt like she took all my stress about the situation and just let me forget about it and relax. I don't think I've ever had such an easy experience getting help on an issue. Moving house is such a stressful time with so much on your plate all at once so having this one very important task handled so efficiently in a kind and professional way made a huge impact. Give her a raise! Whatever she's getting paid ain't enough.

Absolutely terrible supoort
Absolutely terrible support. Opened an account with them. Didn't get a bill, asked them few months later to give me a bill, they said I moved out a year before I moved in and that somebody else was living there?? Moronic.
Very helpful!
The line was clear and i could understand what she was saying. She answered quickly and was friendly. She was also honest which i really appreciated. Thank you for your help!

Fantastic customer service Danielle
Hi, I had an outstanding balance of £1150 after vacating a property, I was extremely worried about this and was panicking about paying the full amount, however I called to get it sorted out, I spoke to a lovely lady called Danielle who reassured me that paying it at £100 per month until it was fully paid was absolutely fine, she made me feel a lot more relaxed about the whole situation, I just wish there were a lot more people like Danielle at the end of the phone, I felt really bad at having the outstanding amount and she instantly made me feel a whole lot better about the situation because of her approach and the way she handled everything....so thank you octopus energy and a big thank you to Danielle and asset to your company.
Had trouble installing my home-mini
Had trouble installing my home-mini - looks like it was configured for my old meter. Dealt with an engineer called Sam, did a great job and was able to resolve the issue.
Exceptional service. Couldn’t fault it.
Kia was a great help with what I was needing, everything I asked for was no problem for Kia. Unfortunately the funding I was getting for solar panels and heaters was cut short after only one of the three that were allocated to get them. So I had to get my meter changed back and that was no problem either. Excellent service. Can’t fault it.
