I have used Ebico in the past for many years when they were good. And when I wanted to switch electricity suppliers recently, I saw that Ebico were operating again. However, my experience with Eb... See more

Setting up account is relatively…

Setting up account is relatively simple, staff are friendly and polite. However if anything goes wrong, it's a lottery as to which member of staff you speak to and how well they are trained. Only on a couple of occasions have I been lucky enough to get a member of staff who listens, hears what you say and has the competence to deal with an issue.
I have had issues run on for weeks, then get sorted immediately by one member of staff who knows what they are doing.

Rate charged not as fixed price contact!!

Had one bill so far and rate charged seem to vary from those quoted on the fixed price contract but overall the total price seems about right. Lets see what happens with the next bill!! Otherwise no complaints.

Very happy so far

For my particular electricity use pattern, the 'zero standing charge' on my tariff is good news. Signing up to Ebico, and switching over from my previous supplier, was simple and straightforward - Ebico kept me informed of the progress of the process throughout.

I am very pleased with Ebico

I am very pleased with Ebico. The switchover was really easy. Their customer service is outstanding- the staff are really friendly and helpful.
They e-mailed me to let me know I could get a better deal (fixed price for 24 months)
They were recommended by a friend. I would wholeheartedly recommend them.
