Really happy with the switch to this company, everything has been easy and their customer service has been excellent. Particular thanks to Sophie who was probably the happiest customer service rep I’ve ever come across, keep smiling! :)

Excellent support
Good value, and excellent support from Paul, who has spent a lot of time trying to sort out a problem caused by my previous supplier, who transferred me back with out my request or authorisation! Ended up re-transferring to USIO (at an even better rate!) and currently hoping that the previous supplier has sorted out the problems!

Great company and prices
Great company and prices! Paul was able to answer all of my questions regarding the switching and he was really helpful throughout the sign up process. Now I just received my first bill and everything looks great and Usio have already arranged my smart meter installation which is due in a few days. Highly recommended company which strives to help every customer individually.

Feel like a valued customer
Just changed over to Usio, few teething troubles but nothing that doesn’t happen with any other company. Difference with Usio is that you actually feel like a valued customer rather than just a number. Brett from customer services sorted out my meter readings and the oft mentioned Paul rang me after the meter installation to find out if everything went ok, then sorted out my app setup. (With a little help from his friends!). They could do with a few more phone lines at busy times but that’s about it. I would love them to stay a small company but with this customer service they’ll go from strength to strength

You are right on the numbers manning the telephone. We have been careful to select only experienced and knowledgable agents to do this and proud to announce that our numbers have recently increased to match our rapid growth!
Please do come straight back to us where you need help with any part of your account and we'll be far quicker available for you.
You are right, we are still a small company and we are trying to maintain a "small company" feel to your experience with us which means our customers come first.

A few issues to start with but promptly resolved
A few issues to start with due to the smart meter installer making a mistake but after this was reported the issue was fixed promptly with an engineer visit the following morning, very happy with the customer service so far.

Only just signed up
Only just signed up, and there are problems already. Despite sending starting readings by email as requested (which Usio acknowledged) they've now told me they haven't had my readings and have estimated starting ratings at zero.
Add to this the facts that 1) their phone lines only open Mon-Fri 9-5, and that 2) every time I phone them I get a recorded message saying they're busy, leave a message and then they hang up, and I'm feeling like there is no way to resolve the issue. It feels like the only answer is now to switch to another company. Very disappointed already!

Great customer service from paul
I couldn't give 5 stars as the frustration of not being able to contact them outside mon-fri 9-5, however 6 stars for Paul who 9am Monday morning sorted out our issue flawlessly.
Including a follow up call dead on the time he stated.
Great customer service and effory from him.
Maybe in the future there could be an out of hours emergency contact at the company?

Recently switched to Usio Energy..
Recently switched to Usio Energy... I spoke to a real person who answered the phone after 3 only rings, very impressed, no waiting on the phone for ages! Paul was very helpful and explained everything in plain English. The switch was seamless thanks to Lisa's help with my meter readings. So far so good, great customer service. Simple to understand bills and a much lower monthly payment which is a bonus! 10/10.

Recently switched to Usio
Recently switched to Usio.
Moved from EON to Usio which is a much smaller company. However customer service has been great every time I've had to contact, feels much more personal instead of a big corporation, which I like.
Few teething problems initally as didn't hear much after the switch. and registration emails didnt come through, but quickly rectified when I contacted.
However a downfall is that their opening hours to contact them aren't very accommodating, and sometimes you cant get through on the phone.
However Lianne was very helpful on live chat. Great so far.

Just joined
Just joined - though a few emails went astray they are quick to respond and resend all the info again - online chat worked well when discussing Smart Meter transfer and on boarding. Helpful staff
Web site could have info on the smart meter process and gotchas. Also needs links to be able to sign up if you haven't had an email for your account.
happy so far

Excellent company. At last a company with decent customer service. Had a few minor hickups to start with, but they sorted things out very fast. No horrible automated call centres - unlike the big energy giants. To name a few names Lisa, Seema, Brett are excellent customer advisors
