Excellent service received by Ellie

Excellent service received by Ellie. Very helpful and made my mind up to stay with octopus. Octopus must be the only company that you can send an enquiry or need to speak to someone and they reply straight away .

Octopus is good to deal with

I had to get my mother’s details changed as she’s gone into care and her bills are piling up while we wait for her flat to be sold. This is a daunting process but Hameedah was brilliant helping me through it and now everything is all set up in my name. A very pleasant lady to deal with. Thank you.

We have just changed to Octopus and we were having a problem with our Smart meter and Octopus app, neither were receiving our data . After one conversation with Marcus, both problems were solved. He was very helpful and professional, We were most impressed and glad we made the change.

Operator somewhat reassuring about smart meters. Helpful on the EV charger Qs.
Was recommending a smart meter but I explained that for retired people with higher daytime usage that would not be cost effective without EV. After I suggested she check she agreed with me, intelligent Go is not for everyone
She was very helpful but I’m very pleased I knew my stuff. Best wishes

Contacted octopus with regards to an account query and very helpful. Sorted out the query very quickly. I only moved to Octopus a couple of months ago from another provider and would like to say that Octopus are 100% better. Thank you

Had an F22 fault on my heat source pump system. Found a plumber who would have cost me over £150 which I couldn’t afford. Emailed Octopus and Colin emailed back very quickly with clear instructions on how to resolve it, including a link to a video. Fault resolved and didn’t cost a think! Highly recommend them
