Not a pleasant experience
Ordering the oil was helpful and polite but the delivery was disappointing. Firstly the driver refused to fill the tank as there was foliage over part of the tank. He didn’t let us know there was a problem and just drove off. This was removed in a minute and another appointment made - and this time he did fill the tank and left …only for us to find we were short changed - 958L instead of 1000L Nothing from the Company so we had to phone to be told he must have run out of fuel (at 10-55am)
Hoping to get a refund in 5 days. Not a nice experience all round.

If you need a baby tanker do not use Certas
I ordered oil ,specifying a baby tanker. They tried to deliver and said they couldn’t because a baby tanker was required ?? Then they didn’t have a driver . 3 weeks later after running out of oil and them taking my money , multiple phone calls and emails they have told me their baby tanker can’t get down our lane to deliver to us ! We have always had baby tanker deliveries without a single problem from our local companies. I should never have tried Certas. I now have to wait for a refund , have no oil and the oil price has gone up again!!
If you need a baby tanker do not use Certas !

This company cares!!
This company really cares about its customers! And I cannot speak highly of them! In every way do they tick all my boxes! They not only supply my oil and have done so for many years but also look after my boiler and again have done so for many years! In fact they are quite indispensable to me!!

Customer Service with a difference
I ordered a tank refill on a Sunday afternoon through our local oil club it was delivered at 11am on the following Tuesday.
At the time of ordering it was also 2p per litre cheaper. An excellent result round. I have been ordering oil for over 40 years and this is the best result ever.

Certas Heathfield refused to deliver…
Certas Heathfield refused to deliver oil to my tank because of 'health & safety' concerns about screening around it. They and other suppliers have been delivering to this exact set-up for over 15 years without any issue, so I was very sorry indeed to hear of the employee's concerns. I am told I must re-order. There is quite obviously no connection whatsover to the fact that the oil price now is 20p+ per litre higher than it was when I first ordered. A reputable company obviously would not contrive this situation to avoid themselves suffering a financial hit due to world events. Oil suppliers are very obviously highly reputable companies that always seek to honour the contracts they have entered into. They would certainly not look for any excuse to wriggle out of a contract to suit their own needs.

Agreement Confirmed in Writing, Then Overridden Less Than Three Weeks Later
I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience with Certas Energy’s accounts department has been extremely disappointing.
After speaking with a member of staff, we agreed a new quarterly Direct Debit amount based on my account balance. I then received an email confirming that my Direct Debit had been changed and that this would be the amount collected going forward.
Less than three weeks later, that agreement was overridden by an automatic computer-generated review, and my Direct Debit was increased based on my previous four years’ usage.
My complaint isn’t about the forecasting system. It’s about the fact that a confirmed agreement was ignored. If a payment amount has been personally agreed with a customer and confirmed in writing, it should not be automatically changed by a computer less than three weeks later.
To make matters worse, I was passed from one adviser to another, all of whom simply explained how the computer calculated the new amount. Not one person acknowledged that the agreed payment should never have been overridden in the first place.
Customer service should be about honouring agreements and taking ownership of issues—not hiding behind automated systems. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what happened here.

Beyond dreadful service
Beyond dreadful service.
Placed an order 10 days ago. When order placed specifically requested BABY TANKER by telephone as narrow village road. Price agreed, deliver date 8 july agreed as had to take day off work.
Sat in all day no delivery!Called up 9 july they apologised and said would now be 10 July. Sat in all day and no delivery 10 July!! Eventually they called me 13 july to say the baby tanker was now "off the road being repaired". They wanted to cancel my contract and order! I said not too and that as I had only ordered 1000 litres they could deliver anytime in the next few months as it was a top up order. They refused and said they would not do this and they were cancelling. SO i will now have to order 14 days after my original order with Certas with another company now 14p higher price. ( Thats why!) Avoid this Company.

Absolutely awful
Absolutely awful. Dont fall for the monthly direct debit for the maintenance check, they don't carry out the service and took your money. Then they dont give you the refund even they agreed to. Absolutely liar and very frustrating to deal with them.
