The young man I spoke to was very helpful but if the smart meter had done it's job and the reading had been taken properly I would not need to have rung up about it. The reading was way to high and £156 taken instead of £40ish or less. The church will now be in credit for a long while. I was told there is no way we can change this.

I never seem to get the answer I need

I never seem to get the answer I am looking for when the Limpet meter sold to us by Wave is not working, it takes months to sort and we always get told to physically check the meter, this means going down into a pit and not advisable for us to do, no matter how many times I say this it's the same response, also never any credit for the Limpet meter charge over 3 years we must be owed about £90 at a guess for the months not working!

Hi Shane, thank you for sharing this feedback with us. I'm sorry you experienced issues with our payment system. I am going to look into this further, as you should have the option to use the keypad too, so I will see why this wasn't available. Have a good day - Fiona

Excellent Customer Service

I spoke with Donna in the Complex Meters Customer Care Dept. Apparently, our meter has not been registering any usage, but Donna was friendly and polite. She has arranged for an engineer to come out and sort the problem. Donna was helpful and polite throughout the conversation and also updated our contact details which had changed. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Wave as their customer service is excellent.

Great service and a dedicated complex case manager

My particular case was complicated with two companies involved and a building type and use that was unusual.
It was a great advantage when a dedicated complex case manager was appointed, progress became much quicker once the knowledge was retained and we were able to work forward step by step, instead of every email or call starting from the very beginning each time. I have not had such good service with any other utility company.
Ms B was friendly, knowledgeable and chased up the case pro-actively and thoroughly. Thank you

Wave customer sevice.

The lady who we dealt with on the telephone Lyndsay, listened to our problem, spent a lot of time trying to understand our problem. Eventually she realised what had gone wrong and has put the problem right for us. Her patience and understanding that we had a issue and needed help to sort it was exceptional.
