Vi was exceptional

Vi was exceptional. We are landlords and recently our property became vacant. As the last tenant had been using Scottish Power we thought it might be easier to just put into our names. How wrong were we! They were awful. So we spoke to Vi as we already had an account with Octopus. What a contrast, Vi could not have been more helpful, clear and polite. We opened the account with no problems at all. Thanks Vi.

Simple and easy 12 month fixed tariff

I approached Kevin who was on a stand in a shopping centre to ask a question. He happily answered my question and offered to give me a quote there and then to switch my account. Within 10 minutes things were in motion and 3 days later the switch is more or less complete. Octopus Energy made the process simple and easy. Thank you Kevin

Customer Service

I love how easy it is to contact Octopus and how efficient they are in their response.
Our house move dates had changed. I emailed their customer service and my email was actioned and responded to in less than 5 minutes.
I have been an Octopus customer for almost 12 years and have no intention of switching anytime soon
