“We spoke to Thomas about switching energy provider, as we just got ASHP and solar panels installed. He went through everything clearly and was very good in explaining things to us.
All in all, it was a very good experience”
“I’ve been having a tough time with my energy bills lately, but I was fortunate to be assisted by Niamh, who went above and beyond to help my family and I. She was incredibly considerate of our situation and took the time to help find a solution. Her kindness, patience, and professionalism truly made a difference. It’s rare to come across such compassionate customer service, and I’m extremely grateful for her support. Thank you, Niamh, for your understanding and for making a difficult situation a little easier.”
“Easy switch to Octopus from previous energy provider. Friendly assistant was very helpful in setting up the new account. Pity it took a long wait for Octopus to answer the phone but otherwise everything working well. Thank you.”
“Once I was talking to Kai, a human being, it was all very straightforward. Their mail server failed on numerous occasions to send me anything to start my account creation, but once that was bypassed, it was very simple.”
“Parveen, was extremely thorough when discussing the advantages of a fixed or flexible tariff, alongside setting up a direct debit. The information was current and help me to make an informed decision about saving money, by setting up a direct debit, and l feel reassured and relieved in the knowledge, that what ever increases we have regarding our electricity bill, it is affordable as a single person on a modest income.
Thankyou, for your assistance Pareen.”
“Mylah, who helped me, fully deserves 5 stars for her manner, efficiency and patience in explaining any details I asked about. One star knocked off for Octopus procedures as i thought i had signed up 6 days ago, having gone through whole online process up to and including setting up direct debit & seeing when first payment would be taken......only to discover today that system had crashed and my signup lost! As i was surprised not to get a confirmation email, account no. or similar, the same day, I emailed a response to my quote, then another email, tried phoning the fabled Customer Service .....in all cases, no reply.
I understand it's a busy time, with price caps going up etc, but i would have expected an immediate response to my mails so i could have done switch 5 days ago.
A final word on the scripts operators have to use.....could you cut or limit the use of the phrase "going forward from that" or "moving forward from there"? It must have been inserted 30 times in conversation and becomes quite annoying. "Signposting language" taken to the extreme!”
“My friend Crise Naska who is already a customer of yours introduced me to Octopus. I found it difficult at first as I have hearing aid but the aids are not good even at the best of times.
Eventually I charming lady helped me to get set up with your company. I have been complaining about E-on to the residents at Montague Court retirement flats.They assured me that their bills are much lower than mine although I only have a one-bedroom flat. Have rang E-on several times but no one has explained why I have such a high bill plus they won't sent me a bill with details. All I get from them is a much higher bill each month n ask me to increase my monthly debits nearly every month. I am very happy to get rid of them as I didn't contact them but the former flat user did n they thought I would carry on.
Sorry for this long letter but want to explain why I need to choose Octopus Energy instead of the big boys as I am a retired lady living on her pension. Thanks for listening.”
“Emily help me set up with octopus energy, also remind us recommended us to use friend and family to get £50 credits, which we did she was helpful and friendly”
“Today I rang Octopus Energy and spoke to Mark H COV 10 asking which tariff might be best for me, he gave me the different types of tariff based on my usage and with the help I gained we managed to chose one I was happy with.
Thank you”
