5 Star customer service! *****

Really refreshing to actually get through to a polite and very helpful human when dialing a Customer Services telephone number. Toni helped me navigate through my query and explained the pro's and cons of switching to an EV charger rate - thank you EDF and Toni !

Successful house move

Spoke to James Smurthwaite on the phone today to set up my account for a new property; very good service, quick and simple to understand, and in particular, he allowed me to pause to process information as I’d never set up an account before and answered all my basic questions very happily! Good experience :)

Amy @ customer services helpful in securing our chosen 2 year fix for elect/gas which I had tried to do online, but was concerned that due to some glitch during process it may not have registered. Upon phoning 2 days later my fears were confirmed by Amy who updated details and confirmed all was now set up. Glad I made the deadline date, thanks to Amy who spoke clearly and her pleasant manner.

Fixed Rate Advice

Spoke to a lovely man called Steve today. He was so helpful explaining everything to me about the fixed rates. He has also sent me paperwork with the figures so that we can see it in black and white.
Very pleasant and nothing was too much trouble.
An excellent service.

Shocking service

Possibly the worst company I have ever had to deal with, every time you call you get a different outcome no one knows what they are doing, ask to speak to a manager you get told it’s not possible and the customer service wow avoid speaking to Victoria from call center attitude is shocking!
