Written by the company

There’s nothing special about the energy we sell. In fact, it’s exactly the same energy as all our competitors provide. But there is something special about the way we do it. Where others complicate the process, we simplify it. Where others confuse customers with hidden terms, we’re an open book. And where others do all they can to make as much money from their customers as possible, we do all we can to make as little. Everything we do, we do it differently. Our customers are a privilege. One we’ll never take advantage of.

They take the stress out of a stressful situation

I can't recommend Utility Aid highly enough. As a broker service they truly went above and beyond to support us during a really difficult time with YU Energy. They made the whole process of finding a new supplier effortless, handled the account transfers smoothly, and even secured compensation for the unacceptable service we received from YU Energy. Huge thanks to Vicky Tromp for her incredible hard work and dedication in getting everything sorted.

Rochdale Foodbank: Contract Renewal

We had continuing strong support from Kristian. He was patient [and persistent] in getting us to move forward with a new contract [from August 1st 2025] as the time is right to fix.
We had a number of questions, as it is 3 years since we last renewed. All were answered very quickly, clearly and positively bringing the contract to fruition in good time.
Thank you again for your support and guidance.
Best regards,
Steve

Somebody suggested I check out Utility…

Somebody suggested I check out Utility Aid for Gas and Electricity one year ( or more) fixed deals. I did but their ‘cheapest price’ for gas was a whopping 1.5p per unit more expensive than I managed to get it by phoning up the company directly ( roughly 6.8p compared to 5.3p with Crown Energy.
Obviously I signed up with Crown. It didn’t take long and that was a few months ago now. There’s no further bureaucracy too as you would expect. THEN I got a call from Utility Aid. I told them all of the above and the guy claimed that , for the extra 18%/ 1.5p per unit I receive excellent service and they will help me if or when a problem arises - I tried to get him to elaborate and suggested that there shouldnt be any problems and even if there were I was hardly going to pay hundreds of pounds more per annum to Utility Aid. He repeated his pitch but what else could he do ?
I would advise you avoid this company and spend a short while checking the market yourself and phoning the suppliers directly.

Thank you for your feedback. As this review appears to be from the same experience as your previous one, I assume you feel there is more to discuss regarding the situation. I’m genuinely disappointed that we did not meet your expectations, as we always aim to provide competitive pricing and excellent service.

Utility Aid Bridges the Gap!

Ruth at Utility Aid helped to resolve an ongoing problem with SSE Energy Solutions. She was very patient with both parties. The time and frustrated effort that would have been needed in this situation by our organisation was saved by her intervention. We are very grateful for her help!

Green advice you can rely on.

Absolutely fantastic company to work with, they provided an Green Pack for a Charity I am working for and the report was so useful and easy to understand. We have seen alternatives by another company and it didn't come close to Utility Aid. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ruaire and team.

Kristian is a superb support to us

Kristian is so helpful; responds immediately, if you to acknowledge my enquiry and tell me they are looking into it. I find Utilities Aid a great support because as a small grassroots charity, we need reliable, understandable networks in place, to help with situations we don't have the skill set for.
