Outstanding

I spoke to Asha to advise my 90 year old father in law had moved from his property to a nursing home to receive end of life care. Asha dealt with my call in a very professional and sympathetic manner offering clear help and advice. Outstanding service, thank you.

Smart Meter In House Display failure

Smart Meter In House Display failure was resolved quickly and professionally by agents I spoke with. The matter had to be referred to their Smart Team and I was kept fully advised of progress throughout the enquiry. Very satisfied with the service given to me.

Called this morning to chose my next fixed tariff. The request was effectively managed, details confirmed and the selection put in place. A most efficient transaction and my thanks for a pleasant and simple interaction.

Very helpful….thank you!

Very helpful in ensuring that I changed from my variable rates to their 18month fix v2. Thank you because online I’d been unable to get the system to acknowledge my request!

Dreadful

Dreadful. They tried to change my DD from £150 to £586 a month when I was in credit! They try and take more and more every month even if you are in credit. Completely incompetent. Do. Not. Use.

They are ok with their prices and customer services reps but they are UNABLE TO SORT THEIR NECTAR PROMISES! This is my 3rd year with them (hoping that they sort this out) but unfortunately it takes me lot of time and efforts to get in touch, explain over and over again that they are not fulfilling their promises and yet again, after extending my contract with them, no rewards received. I have the feeling that the Nectar reward renewal is an empty promise and they benefit from people not really bothering to follow it up and hold them accountable for their promises!

Had to call up about a final bill and refund and Asha was very helpful.
It's a shame Sainsbury's couldn't meet my needs on costs as I would've stayed with them. Customer Service has always been excellent in my experience!

Exemplary response from Sainsbury’s Energy

I contacted Sainsbury’s Energy as my final bill didn’t include gas usage, so a refund couldn’t be given. Rebecca replied to my email and sorted out the whole issue in a very prompt and efficient manner. A refund will be heading my way. Excellent service.

Missing Nectar Points

I had missing nectar points for a sign up bonus. They should have been credited long ago. I called Sainsburys Energy who put in a query form for me. Within less than 2 weeks, the issue was resolved and the points credited. Very good and helpful service and a quick turnaround.
