Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Excellent coustomer service

The reason I’ve give four stars is because I’ve had a few problems with avid energy itself not the coustomer service.

The coustomer service has been brilliant, especially Aidan Doyle who has helped me so much with any problems I have been having.

STANDING CHARGES MUST READ.......

I switched to avid energy a year ago and the customer service staff are a credit to the company. However.... I noticed my bills were though the roof and £20 electric and £20 gas on my smart meter were only lasting a week! I don't use lots of electric so when I rang a different company up I realised the standing charge for the smart meters is roughly 45p EACH METER PER DAY that's £7.00 roughly a week on a standing charge. Please read this before you switch because its important and not many people know this. So I was in fact only using £45 electric and £45 gas a month but look at the difference thanks to the standing charge. I sadly have decided to switch and will save a hell of a lot of money. Sorry avid but your standing charges are ridiculous!

Hi Gemma,

Thanks for rating us and for your excellent review on our customer service.

We are a prepayment service and we disclose our standing charge on sign up so there are no hidden charges. Our plans depend on the option you chose on sign up. We do have several payment options so the option you selected on sign up may not be the best one for you now.

If you call our team on 0044 3300225768, or if you email us on tp@avidenergy.co.uk we can review your plan and see if we can reduce your costs. We would love to keep you as a happy customer.
