Phone conversation, 12:11 p.m.

Pauline was easy to talk to, very easy to understand and follow, and extremely clear, concise and informative. In consequence, having undertaken a lengthy comparison of prices and customer service with several other providers, I have transferred to EDF.

Long time customer

I’ve been a customer for many years (over 5). They offer competitive rates. Easy to use app. Available customer service. No long waits or difficulty contacting like some companies. I’ve stayed as a disabled person as I’d rather have reliable service than be faced with stressful long waits and high costs.

Stephen was very helpful and friendly, used plain English. The quote (which was slightly more complex, due to our unique needs) and switch took about 15 minutes.

I was trying to arrange a new direct debit and had conversations with two or three people in customer services but unfortunately things didn’t go to plan. I tried again and was lucky enough to speak with Andrew from team 5D who was very knowledgeable and very helpful he sorted my problem in 15 minutes or so. Many thanks Andrew.

Getting a date for the installation of new smart meters…

Mahir managed to book an engineer for the installation of new smart meters that I had been waiting for for almost a month, and had become more crucial as the gas meter had no readings being displayed and the latest bill had not been generated. Fantastic service. Thank you.

I had selected a different tariff but realised this would prevent me from receiving some of the other benefits available. I contacted EDF and was dealt with promptly and switched to a new tariff which would cost me less on the longer term. Very straightforward process although I was surprised with the amount of information the agent had to hand which certainly helped resolve things

Great service from Steve in Team 18F

Steve from Team 18F was very knowledgeable and guided me through the complexities of sorting out my existing meter and tariffs so that I will be able to charge my new EV Car!
A smart meter is now scheduled to be installed very promptly and I can now source an appropriate compatible charger unit.
Thanks very much.

Exceptional customer service from Jeff (Team 16D)!
I am incredibly grateful for the outstanding support I received from Jeff in Team 16D. After a highly stressful experience with a previous call-taker, Jeff stepped in with immense empathy, patience, and true professionalism. He listened to my situation, offered a practical way forward, and even took the time to send kind birthday wishes. He is an absolute credit to EDF, and it is because of his exceptional care that this matter is being resolved. Thank you, Jeff!

I had a very helpful person called Kamil I hope I’ve spelt that right , I have spoke to many other suppliers to get a rate but EDF energy was the only company that had time for my questions as him to call me back so could get my head around the figures which he did 45 min later , I probably could have got a slightly better rate but only a few pounds but the hassle and headache not worth it so thank you one less thing to worry about
