Standard, satisfactory call centre performance

All pretty good. Agent John seemed a nice chap and answered most of my questions satisfactorily , although there was a little confusion when I asked if the night rate followed BST or GMT. The main downside was the length of time it took to speak to a real person. The robot picked up the call quickly and asked what I wanted to do. I chose the option to move to EDF as a new customer and then had to wait for over ten minutes before I spoke to John. My concern is that if it takes that long to sign up and give EDF my money, how responsive will they be if anything goes wrong? Time will tell... :-)

Hi Isaac, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your review and, most importantly, for choosing EDF as your energy supplier.

I'm delighted to hear that John was able to answer your questions and make the sign-up process a positive experience overall. I've also noted your feedback regarding the night-rate query, and I'm sorry there was some confusion around this.

I would especially like to apologise for the wait you experienced before speaking with John. We understand that waiting over 10 minutes can be frustrating, particularly when you're making an important decision about your energy supply. At certain times of the year, especially around energy price changes and tariff updates, we experience significantly higher contact volumes, which can unfortunately lead to longer waiting times than we would like.

That said, we never want a customer's first impression of EDF to be a long queue, and I'm sorry this was your experience. Your feedback is valuable as it helps us identify where we need to improve.

We're incredibly grateful that, despite the delay, you chose to join EDF. We don't take that trust for granted, and we'll do our very best to provide the level of service you expect going forward.

Thank you again for your honest and balanced review, and welcome to EDF!

Kind regards,

Danielle

Great service as usual

Have been dealing with Sophie for several months now. Every email is answered quickly and efficiently and when any of my tariffs are up for renewal Sophie is quick to give me a quote for renewal. So pleased I have Sophie as my contact at EDF. Nothing is too much trouble.
