My fixed term contract is shortly coming to an end and I wasn’t sure which new one would be best for me. The agent I spoke to explained the options and I agreed with what she said (didn’t catch her name). She also amended the monthly payments to suit my usage.

I rang to query a price increase on my direct debit. While managing your account online is quick and convenient, sometimes it’s much better to speak to a real person.

Jonathan was absolutely outstanding. He was polite, friendly, positive, and a pleasure to talk to. He listened carefully, explained everything clearly, and made the whole process easy and reassuring.

Jonathan is a real credit to Octopus Energy and represents the company with exceptional customer service. What a lovely guy! Thank you for such a positive experience. 🩷

Excellent customer Service

Excellent customer Service. ALWAYS speak to a human being, not a robot or answering service. Never made to feel an idiot when asking questions. Well done Octopus. I wish more companies took a leaf out of your book

I had a bit of trouble accessing the link on octopus, to book an upgrade to my meter. I got in touch with Ben from Octopus, he was really very helpful, booked the appointment for me with an engineer to come. The engineer phoned half hour before. The engineer was very helpful and a very nice man. Job done!

DD amount increase

Although the call was placed in a queue, an agent responded quickly. I was pleasantly surprised that I was not held in the queue for hours.
My query over DD amount change was dealt with quickly and efficiently by Khameelah.
The change has been stopped, I have not yet had an E-mail confirming this yet.

Very impressive service

Very impressive service - after lots of problems with my monitor inside saying electricity disconnected for weeks
I spoke to Hannah who realised that my old monitor needed to be de commissioned so that there was only one linked to my account
Thank you Hannah- it all seems to be working 😊

Fantastic customer service from Jonathan. He is so informative, knowledgeable and helpful. He was very patient taking time to explain all the options in detail and made the whole experience a dream for me! I wish he was my personal advisor on all utilities. I can now have a wonderful day knowing I don’t have to be stressed about working everything out. Keep hold if this guy; he is worth his weight in gold 🌟🏆🏅
