Absolutely ridiculous company I have a smart metre in my house and they are charging me above what my smart metre says telling me it’s right getting to talk to somebody who will tell me things is a joke I get spoken to like I am something on their shoes and trying to change to another company is horrendous

Terrible customer service, they are good when they want your money but getting refund is ridiculous, saying they posted cheque, when I does not arrive you can not get through on phone and messages take forever that you get a different person everytime and have to repeat yourself over and over again still not getting problem sorted

In short I would pay more not to be with EDF. Customer service cut you off after waiting on hold for 30+ mins. I was told on two separate occasions that my power would come back on and I would be phoned back within that hour - nothing happened. It then took me six hours to get a member of staff to move me onto Direct Debit for electricity to be greeted by mail in the post saying that I was set up for Pay as you go. I have never experienced such a bad service, I genuinely cannot believe how bad my experience has been with EDF. As soon as the issues with price caps are over I am going to move straight away even if it costs me more. I would pay more not to be with EDF.

Disgusting company. They are taking £388 a month (more than my mortgage) for Gas & electric. I live in a 3 bedroom end of terrace house. I'm self employed, they are actually taking food from my children's mouth. I've never missed a payment of any bill of my home since 2008 and always paid full amount. I've not had the heating on for 2 years. I've even made the home smart by installing smart bulbs everywhere to reduce cost. They also bullied me into installing a smart meter which I did to help, but every few month they just keep taking more and more, I've even explained I'm classed as a vulnerable adult. At this rate they will make me and my family homeless. What am I doing here - powering up a nuclear power plant!

My son has a problem with pre payment meter refusing to top up, the problem has gone on for weeks with the repeated promise that it will be sorted out….. the told yesterday he must wait for electricity to completely run out and then let them know and they will send an emergency engineer, my son has told them he has to freezers full of food and a large tropical fish tank with expensive fish that will die if the heater goes off and the water goes cold… still told he must let it run out. The electric has now finally run out, if the fish die and the food thaws we will be taking EDF to court not only for the spoilt food and dead fish but for the stress, anxiety and distress caused.

EDF avoids any form of human contact for as long as possible. Then when you reach somebody they make mistakes and you have to repeat the entire process. If you value your time avoid them like the plague.

I have had three smart meter installation appointments . First one left me without power for nearly two hours as when the meter was installed the DCC , whatever that is was down and the guy had to reinstall the old meter. Second installer said there was no point as the gas meter was too far away from the electric meter. Third attempt was cancelled by EDF with no explanation. I made a complaint and EDF seem more interested in closing the complaint than actually resolving it. Will definitely not be going with EDF when my current tariff expires on gas and electric. Given that EDF are bragging about their smart meter installation I find it a total lie and would not recommend to anyone. Michael Wright

Every Day Failures. Myself and my housemate are registered disabled, EDF cut off our gas 3 times in freezing weather because they messed up and had 2 accounts running on one property. This went on for weeks, they don’t respond to texts, they routinely cut you off on the phone (when one is ‘blessed’ enough to actually get through to them),they claim you can contact their ceo (when I’m fact you’re just get an automated message saying they’re passing you back to the same unsympathetic cretins who couldn’t deal with the issue in the first place) and at one point they told me to get an emergency gas engineer even though it was EDF that had cut us off. They are without a shadow of a doubt the worst customer service I’ve ever experienced. They are honestly worse than the DWP. Please do yourselves a favour and don’t use EDF

Disgusting customer services who cut you off after 40 mins on hold, for a gas emergency. Whatsapp, text and online chat pointless, emergency line that doesnt answer and closes at 8pm. Never have i come across a worse company. Will be switching suppliers.

DISGUSTING I thought SSE was the worst electric supplier. But I was wrong. It's definitely EDF. I've been with them just less than 24 hours. And my smart meter reading is telling me bill so far this period is £12:97. I live alone in a one bedroom flat. EDF is sure on the fiddle. I will be leaving them ASAP

Been waiting a month now for an appointment for an engineer to come out and fit an isolation switch to enable me to have a car charger installed. Every time I call customer services to find out if they have a date for me, all I get is , “the appointments team will be in touch”! This doesn’t help as the ev charger installers need a date the switch will be installed so they can book me in to have my charger installed. Very very poor customer service

Atrocious company. On a fixed tariff. Use the same gas and electricity per month bill is alway 50 pound direct debit per month. Now trying to take £162 out. Because they've overestimated.. Gave readings confirmed it's still should be 50 pound a month.tried again taking 162 pound out. Useless call centre no help whatsoever. Avoid this company got your gas and electricity
