Absolutely dreadful. I have tried for over a month to get EDF to install a gas meter and an electricity meter. I can't even get them to confirm a date when they will come. I've rung up 20 times and receive assurances a confirmed installation date will be emailed to me shortly and I receive nothing. I have send urgent emails to "the Manager responsible for new installations" and after 10 days I am told by "David" (whoever he is) my request has been past to "the team" ....... still no date provided.

Well, the good news is that this set of reviews seems to match my personal experience with EDF. Utterly useless. I won't bore you with the details because plenty of other people have already explained, very clearly, just how terrible EDF is. What I do suggest is that you all go to Trust pilot and read the reviews. They nearly all depict a company that gives the most amazing service, through a team of brilliant, wonderful people (I do agree, some of them are nice people). Their rating is 4.1 on Trustpilot. Call me cynical but that is absolute bullshit++t. EDF clearly recognise they have awful service levels and therefore employ an agency to concoct false, untrue reviews, to boost their ratings. Either that, or everyone on here lives in a parallel universe......make your own mind up.

I transferred to EDF from Scottish Power in October. A week later my smart meters (gas and electric) stopped working so I had to send meter readings. Given we have been conned that these meters are for OUR benefit, to track usage, after multiple calls it was agreed we’d have new ones fitted. They missed the first appt, they failed to confirm the second appt but eventually new ones were fitted last week. Apparently they are pinging out, BUT due to a fault at EDF central no data is being received. So I still cannot track my usage at what is a heavy consumption time of year. I’d send in meter reading but I can’t fathom the display on the new meters. So I am completely in the dark regarding what bills I can expect. My ONLY preference for EDF is I can actually speak to a human being whereas at Scottish I ended up in a ‘bit loop’ every time. But really unhappy with EDF and am contemplating the ombudsman next. Why can these utility companies get everything so wrong?

EDF have failed to recognise that people vote with their feet if they are treated as badly as this. I was forced to have a Smart Meter installed after months of bullying when mr prepay meter developed a very specific fault. This happened in JUNE 2024 and after Email wars with them, they eventually sorted just before Christmas over half a year later. They hadn't even commissioned the meter. On top of that, they had the audacity to Bill me estimates in the hundreds without telling me I had a faulty set up. I had to pay for their errors in the mean time. Horrible customer service who make you feel like committing suicide just stuggling to make ends meet. They wouldn't give a damn if you froze to death as long as they get their money. I have been with EDF for over 15 years. They will never see me again.

When attempting to contact small business dept by phone normally at least 25 minute listening to annoying music etc. Upon speaking with a person (in the Phillipines) although polite not able to answer the account query and refer to a colleague who will contact within 15 mins. After 60min + no response. Previously spoke twice last week again no response to query. Definitely do not recommend.

Please be aware of any contracts via EDF & the broker #Bionic as between them they like to entrap customers with digital renewal scheme. Please do not forget to remove their rights to use your signature in any other contracts. EDF make the customer abide by the conditions on the contract but they can breach the contract whenever it takes their fancy. So please be very aware.

Utterly useless organisation. No wonder they losing loads of customers. Basically bullying an 82 year old woman. Will not close account even though with new provider. Sarcastic emails from them with no names attached. Warm home discount went into that acct instead of new provider, purely because they would not close. Took 10 days to get it from them and then they wouldn't close acct still. Earning millions by holding people money and gaining interest. Good word in Uk is 'muppets'

In September, I changed supplier and joined Octopus. EDF took a final payment from my account (for five days' usage) which was far too high. EDF said they would have to contact Octopus and would make a refund as soon as Octopus had responded. The latter issued a revised bill on 26 October but I have still not had a refund. Last week, after prompting, EDF issued a revised bill and acknowledged that I am owed over £150. I am still waiting for a refund. This has caused a particular cashflow problem as I have just had to pay for an emergency repair to my stairlift, or be stranded downstairs. On a previous occasion, it took them four goes to issue a correct bill, even though based on actual readings. Appalling company.

Hello everyone and future EDF customers, I want to share my unfortunate experience with EDF as a warning. Dealing with this company has been a nightmare, and I sincerely hope that no one else ends up in my position. Despite numerous attempts to dispute this bill, I have been met with little to no help, and the situation remains unresolved. The bill you see here is for a two-bedroom flat. Yes, you read that right—a staggering amount for a modest home. This company seems to operate with little regard for its customers, charging as they please. I am making this public because I have nothing left to lose—I’ve already lost everything. This could be you if you’re not careful. Be warned, if you choose EDF, you may find yourself in a position like mine—struggling with an enormous bill that seems unjustifiable. Take my experience as a cautionary tale. Look elsewhere if you value transparency, fair pricing, and a company that genuinely cares about its customers. Don't end up like me.
