I had a very bad experience with Utilitywise.
Yes, they are very good at selling but when comes to manage the utilities, the service is just awful.
Therefore, you are going to be very happy when they first contact you (and they will contact you every they if necessary to make the sell). But, be prepared, after you hire them, you will be alone by yourself. They don't answer the phone, just call to make excuses (long and evasive ones), and take ages to resolve (when it happens) an issue.
We were really unhappy with the service and just cancelled it.

I cannot praise enough Utilitywise consultants. Their professionalism and dedication is second to none. We have a very difficult situation with our electricity supply and the help and support I received from Utilitywise (and in particular from their consultant Calvin Oldham) has been invaluable.

Mark has been most helpful in guiding me through the change of energy supplier.

A* SERVICE & Exceptionally good customer service!

Using them for quite a few of the businesses and organisations I represent. Lucy Thompson is an absolute star. Thoroughly professional, has great attention to detail and can heavily rely on her when needed.

Keep it up Luce!

Looking after number 1

Utilitywise talked me into accepting a 25% increase in my electricity price. I don't know if I could have done better,but I run a small business and believe I don't have time to search for a better price. I think I'd better make time next year.

Hi Steve,

Many thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. As discussed on our call we are really sorry that with the increase in the energy market we have been unable to provide you with a similar rate as your original contract. I am more than happy to discuss this further and provide you with the current market increase in an email for you.

Kind regards,

When things are difficult quality shines through

We are a non-profit organisation and our office is only staffed one day each week, but we had two gas and two electric meters. So several suppliers to re-price/replace and a customer (us) who is hard to get hold of.

Lee Rourke at Utilitywise, who acted for us has been brilliant. He has been dogged in keeping in touch with us, has arranged some good deals for us and has minimised the hassle of changing multiple suppliers.

I had given 3 properties to change utility. They messed up on transfers. Mr Donald lake was keen to follow and complete the deal, but the switch over never happened to 2 properties and I had to pay standard charges to my previous provider.

On my third property they switched over the electricity and forgot my gas that was with British Gas and I had to pay 0.96p of standing per day. For 3 months.

Utility wise incompetency costed me lost of hundreds of pound.
NEVER EVER I WILL USE THEN AGAIN NOR WOULD SUGGEST ANY ONE

Hello Dawood,

I can see you're dealing with one of our agents currently and I am more than happy to arrange a call to discuss this further. Alternatively please feel free to email me at info@utilitywise.com
