Overall experience is very positive. Prices are fair, support responds quickly and online systems are easy to use. Only if I could get my smart meter and faster internet it would be great.

Poor customer service - AVOID

Poor customer service and wont take my calls.
UW decided to send me a disconnection fee when it was agreed this was not payable.
They wont reply to me or speak to me on the phone and pass me between payments team and customer service. Instead they send me chaser and threats for debt collection. If Customer service is important to you, avoid using UW.
I'm sure UW will add a generic message saying please contact us which is ironic since you wont speak to me about my issue!

⭐ 1/5 — Extremely disappointing experience with Utility Warehouse

⭐ 1/5 — Extremely disappointing experience with Utility Warehouse

I would strongly recommend thinking twice before joining Utility Warehouse.

My experience with this company has been a complete mess from start to finish. I provided my meter readings every month, yet somehow the tariffs, charges and account balances kept becoming more confusing. At first the prices seemed very attractive, but over time the amount I was being charged kept increasing, even while I was trying to keep everything up to date.

What made things worse was that even after leaving Utility Warehouse, they continued trying to take payments by Direct Debit. When the Direct Debit was removed, I then started receiving debt collection communications. The information I was given about what I supposedly owed was inconsistent, and different charges seemed to appear without clear explanations.

The broadband return was another frustrating experience. They wanted to charge me £160 for not returning the broadband equipment, despite not properly providing the information I needed about where to return it. Once the equipment was returned, they still wanted to charge around half of that amount, which made absolutely no sense to me.

Customer service has been extremely poor. I have spent far too much time calling, trying to understand the account and trying to prevent incorrect charges or debt collection action. Different information seems to be given depending on who you speak to.

Based on my experience, the attractive prices simply aren’t worth the stress and time involved. I certainly wouldn’t use Utility Warehouse again.

My advice: look elsewhere.

Avoid like the plague

Avoid like the plague, appalling wait times. Wish I never changed providers..disgraceful. No one seems to know what they are doing. Being hounded for meter readings despite informing them the meter is not working, needs replacement. Boiler engineer arrived for annual service, left saying he couldn't do it. Engineer today sits in his van for an hour, without attempting to knock to address the customer. The list goes on. Appalling!!!

Utterly incompetent

Utterly incompetent. A short period as a landlord, and UW have made up dates, ignored the smart readings they have in order to charge me 300% of what is owed, now sending threatening emails for non payment. I have currently had 5 phone calls over multiple hours, What on earth is this... no single team seems to be able to resolve a simple issue, 2 week turnarounds on every email and then they get it wrong.

Customer service is rubbish

Customer service is rubbish, I cancelled my energy the day before I signed up and they still charged me exit fee, they are not consisted with communication with each other, I phoned last June 17 as to why I still need to pay £39 and the lady I spoke to said it's because of the exit fee but hey I cancelled a day after I signed up and then she said it's ok not to pay this amount she will wave the exit fee and now I received an email to say I am overdue a payment of £39. It a rubbish company. Please don't sign up!!!!!

Easy process and competitive price

I needed to sort out my house & contents insurance and got quote from UW.
The process was easy and quicker than I thought and came in at well under the price of my previous insurer.
