Octopus Energy has been absolutely…

Every person we have dealt with there has been so compassionate, understanding, and helpful. They have helped us so much through a very difficult time. We are so grateful to them.

I wish everyone would change to Octopus. They deserve everyones support. They are outstanding. They really care, and they act on that care by coming up with realistic solutions. We are truly overwhelmed by how amazing they have been. We never expected a utilities company to be so kind and amazing - especially having previously dealt with Ecotricity who just sent an email around stating they are now reporting to credit agencies regarding overdue accounts etc. In these very hard times for so many people, Octopus is helping people out in huge ways, while Ecotricity is reporting late payers, people struggling etc to credit agencies, just making things more challenging for those people.

Octopus Energy has heart and soul. The people are truly amazing. I encourage anyone not with them already to go with them. They deserve all the support.

Thank you to everyone at Octopus. You changed the outlook of our future. You helped us when we really needed it. We will always be grateful to you and won't ever forget your kindness and care.

Thank you to Phil. Morgan, Samantha and everyone else who we have dealt with there.

Fantastic 5*

Matt was fantastic in supplying the information I needed to switch energy suppliers and talking through different EV chargers. He was friendly and made everything clear and straightforward. Took the time to be thorough. 5*
