I was recently thinking it was time to compare again when by chance AEI crossed my path. Almost instantly I had a well mannered customer service officer phone me and walk me through my options. Clear, precise, informative and patient while he guided me through securing fresh, cheaper plans on both electricity and gas.
Thanks. I’m actually looking forward to the follow up/check in in 8 ish months time.
Well done.
