Switch went smoothly. Good customer service

Switch went smoothly. Good email communication. Lisa has been so helpful dealing with queries quickly and efficiently. Meter readings easy to enter. Reminders are sent when these are due, making it easier to keep track of usage and billing. No problem changing direct debit amounts to avoid large credit building up. Happy with service and pricing.

Hi Agis,

Thank you so much for your lovely comments here. Its cliché to say but we are honestly nothing without happy customers. Your recommendation to others is worth more than anything we can do by ourselves.

Very good and prompt customer service…

Very good and prompt customer service from Paul calling me to make sure everything is ok.
One issue is with their Website There is something unintuitive about the page where you have to substitute your own reading over the top of that shown to you and I'm just doing it wrong, somehow my brain tells me to just copy the number shown! It would be better if you could type the correct reading into a blank box whilst still being able to see the previous one?

Switch went smoothly.

I switched to Usio from another provider and everything went smoothly. I have since called Usio twice and the issues have been resolved quickly.

Excellent Customer Service when you need it which is the benchmark of any company.

The Usio Energy support team, especially the wonderful Lisa, go out of their way to answer any questions about the services they provide and do so in a prompt and professional manner.

Your left with the feeling that as a customer you are actually important to them, something that you don't get with a lot of the larger and less personal companies in the energy sector.

Would highly recommend Usio.

Vive la difference

Just joined Usio after being with major suppliers in the post & this is by far the best experience I've had so far with any supplier. Ok it's early days yet but so far I'm very pleased. Here's hoping for a long relationship

Avoid unless you like to be messed around

I selected Usio as my new energy provider six months ago based on their very competitive rates and the fact that they support smart meters - which they would be installing for free. These smart meters have yet to be installed. Two seperate installation appointments were scheduled, and despite multiple confirmations being made, I was stood up on both occasions. For me this is unacceptable to mislead a paying customer and have them wait at home all day for nothing. On the second appointment I even called late afternoon to complain that I have waited home all day and now one had turned up yet and was told they are on their way now you are the last appointment of the day. No need to lie Usio make an appointment you can actually keep, then keep it. Can not recommend to anybody based on my experience - extremely disappointed.

Hi Carol,

We are very sorry you have had such an experience. While we do not directly handle the smart meter installation, we are now more closely managing the contractor who does. We would like to work with you as soon as possible to fix this!

Please contact us directly, either via email: help@usioenergy.com or call our customer service team: 0203 879 4281 from 9am - 5pm, Mon - Fri

We look forward to hearing from you so we can get to the bottom of this and ensure you are taken care of!

So far so good!

Spoke to Paul who was very helpful. He explained the switching procedure and told me I might be asked for meter readings more than once during and after the change-over. However, the hope is Usio will be able to read our existing Smart Meter when the account is up and running. This is the first time we have switched electric suppliers, so a little nervous, but the saving through Usio was too good to miss.

Hi Wendy,

Thank you for the feedback! We think Paul is great too.

Due to current restrictions in the energy industry we might not be able to read your existing Smart Meter (not all smart meters are the same and they won't let us talk to all of them, annoying!). If we cannot read your current smart meter, we will replace it with a smart meter we can read - all at no installation charge to you!

Do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns - either via email: help@usioenergy.com or call our customer service team: 0203 879 4281 from 9am - 5pm, Mon - Fri

All the best!

Keep it up USIO

Been using USIO for about three months now. No problems whatsoever. Nice, simple website. Quick response. Good information flow. Just had smart meters fitted today, quick and efficient. What more can I say. Tariff is probably as low as I can get it anywhere - with confidence that is. Keep it up USIO

Very happy I switched to Usio for dual fuel!!
I've had a lovely call with Usio today about installing smart meters. Very reassuring. Every time I've called Usio (not often), I always get put through quickly and speak to a normal person almost straight away. Not lots of computerised options, just straight-forward stuff. I'm hoping my overall bill this year will be lower too - compared to nPower who were a pain. I'll know in 6 months.

Hi Susan,

It's brilliant that you've enjoyed such a great experience, although it's the first time our customer service's team have been referred to as 'normal'!

In all seriousness though, we strive to offer the best service possible and your feedback has made all of us in Usio customer service really happy!

Have a great day,

5 star customer service

5 star customer service

We had three missed smart meter installations, yes three….

The installs are booked through a third party “Access Install” and the issue is theirs not Usios’. I know the issue is the installers as I spoke with them on the phone and received an email from them admitting as much.

Obviously, I made a formal complaint to Usio about this.

The reason for the 5 star review is the way Usio dealt with the fall out of this catastrophe.

We received compensation for each missed appointment directly from Usio, plus an additional good will gesture.

We received a sincere apology from Usio even though the fault lay with their installer and not directly with Usio.

Usio have at our request now moved us onto a cheaper non-smart metered tariff as we are not going to chance another missed appointment!

Usio have reduced our DD to account for the tariff change.

Therefore, if you are a new Usio customer be very wary of a smart meter installation booking with Access Install or even better refuse to accept an appointment made via them.

USIO customer service however has been brilliant and cannot be faulted.

At best I would describe your customer service as 3rd world standard - DISGUSTING SERVICE

What a joke !! So I’m very sympathetic towards companies as such who are new as you would expect some teething problems. What I don’t expect are rude advisors who don’t allow you to speak and/or accept responsibility for mistakes. This guy was seriously rude and disrespectful throughout. Patronising and stuck up. What a disgraceful journey to go through. No empathy or consideration for customers in fact they could not trace and correspondence they have sent to me via their systems yet I have received in excess of 14 emails to which the response was could you show us as they made out I was lying about it... seriously avoid these guys they are beyond poor.... I was left as if this issue was my fault I cancelled my policy and they now claim they have no record of this... pathetic I’m reporting them to ofgem.
