Very helpful and knowledgeable support.

Very helpful and knowledgeable support.
Quick and efficient.
Called up twice, once to discuss tariffs and the second to sort an issue i was having logging in. Both times handled perfectly.
UK based answering staff, unlike many other organisations who use foreign call centres who are unable to help.

I would like to thank Harriet

I would like to thank Harriet who I spoke to last week to renew my fixed tariff. We had a chat about my usage and explained that last winter I was caring for my sick wife who passed away in February. Tonight I have received a bunch of flowers from her to try and brighten my day. I am so touched by her thoughtfulness and I cannot praise her enough. Thank you Harriet for brightening my day. Employee of the year in my book.

Small problem fixed Quickly

I got in touch with Octopus because of a discrepancy between an estimated meter reading and the real one. The service I had from Whitney was prompt, polite and sorted the problem. 5 stars from me!

I needed to write this today because I am so genuinely touched and grateful to one of Octopus energy call handlers. My Dad had a call recently to renew his energy contract and spoke to a lovely person called Harriet. He told me at the time how nice it was to have a proper conversation with someone and not feel rushed or that they were reading from a script. He felt comfortable enough to share with Harriet that we lost my Mam, the love of Dads life, earlier this year, he said they had a lovely ‘natter’! Well today this very special person has sent my Dad a bouquet of flowers with a lovely message, just to brighten his day and I am overwhelmed to say the least. Harriet has made my Dads day today and mine aswell, what a truly fabulous human!! Thank you Harriet from a very grateful daughter xxxx

Excellent service, they reply almost instantly to any email you send or any queries you have, I’m loving the free hours on a Sunday. Wish I’d changed to octopus years ago.
