Octopus Arvostelua 

Micah is a first rate customer service advisor who understood my problem and helped to sort it out patiently. Thank you Micah

Das Unternehmen sollte die vertraglich angebotenen Inhalte dem Kunden nach Monaten auch irgendwann einmal zur Verfügung stellen und nicht nur Werbung machen und ständig andere Dinge verkaufen wollen. Wir warten seit 9 Monaten im Prinzip auf den Heat Tarif. Seit März haben wir diese nun angeblich, zahlen aber nach wie vor einen total überteuerten Übergangstarif bis zur endgültigen Freischaltung. Wann dieser aber einmal stattfindet, wird nicht mitgeteilt. Smartmeter und alle Dinge, die dafür nötig wären, sind bereits vorhanden. Wenn ich das vorher gewusst hätte, hätten wir sicherlich zu einem anderen Stromanbieter gewechselt. Preiswertere gibt es ja zu Genüge, aber wir haben uns leider von den Werbeversprechen blenden lassen.

Great experience with this company. Their agent Tyler came to my house, did the switch on the spot. The service is excellent, you can control how many emails you get. The customer service lines take you to a person not a Bot. Monthly bills are competitive. They also have a great green policy for energy. I would highly recommend this company.

Dopo diversi anni cambio gestore. Tariffa non più competitiva. Mi dispiace

Sam at the Octopus stand in Livingston Centre was extrenely helpful by explaining all of the benefits of this great provider and is a fantastic credit to Octopus

Wir sind zufrieden mit Octopus und der Telefonservice wenn man doch mal Unterstützung benötigt ist sehr sehr gut.
Trotz bereits vorhandenen Vertrag Relax24 konnten wir mit E-Auto auf Go24 wechseln. Bei unseren Stadtwerken müssten wir viel mehr bezahlen und bei EON gehen die Preise nach der ersten Bindungsfrist immer wieder hoch und man muss kündigen.
Leider hat der Smart Meter Gateway und nötige Einrichtung ewig gedauert und nachdem wir den smarten Stromzähler von Octopus hatten wurde der Tariff auch noch nicht umgestellt - kommt bestimmt bald!
Aber meine Tochter hat einen Stoff/Plüsch Octopus als Entschuldigung bekommen und ist glücklich!

Ich muss hier wirklich einmal ein Lob für dieses Unternehmen dalassen. Ein so kundenorientiertes und freundliches Unternehmen habe ich in diesem Land bisher noch nicht erlebt.

Leider hatte ich ziemlich lange Probleme, auf mein Konto zuzugreifen. Anstatt mir das Leben zur Hölle zu machen, waren die Mitarbeitenden jedoch sehr verständnisvoll und hilfsbereit. Auch die gesamte Kommunikation des Unternehmens ist einfach vorbildlich.

Davon können sich einige Unternehmen wirklich eine Scheibe abschneiden. Bei Octopus habe ich nicht ein einziges Mal einen Mitarbeiter erlebt, der von oben herab mit mir gesprochen hat. Ganz im Gegenteil: Man könnte meinen, man schreibt mit einem guten Freund.

Wirklich, vielen herzlichen Dank für ein solches Erlebnis! Bleibt, wie ihr seid.

We spend about £1900 a year on gas and electricity. Having solar and a heat pump, the majority of the expenditure is in the winter months. At present they owe me £200 as the account is in credit.
Octopus have just written to say they will increase my direct debit to £328 from 5th September. This equates to an annual usage of nearly £4,000.
I have objected to this and am waiting to hear, but other customers should be aware that the numbers they used for us are way out, so I'm afraid they are not a reliable supplier and need checking and challenging.
Oh for the days when valuable long term customers got looked after rather than being taken for granted and ripped off!

Edit to add 29/07/2026
Octopus have apologised and agreed their figures were wrong. Whatever algorithm they use clearly does not take account of your actual usage over a full year, so be vigilant! We have been with them for several years, so there is no shortage of data for them to use.
Extra star is for a very speedy reply from an actual person.

Have been trying to get a meter installed by Octopus since they took over from Shell several years ago. Now, after a huge number of phone calls, emails, photos sent I am nowhere near getting a working meter. I have been repeatedly asked to send the same info time and time again. It is like sending stuff into a big black hole. Shocking service from a company that prides itself on customer service. Only when things go right.

Un échange 10/10 ⭐️
Un grand merci à Marie pour son accompagnement lors de la création de mon contrat d’énergie !
Elle a été super disponible, claire et très agréable tout au long de la démarche pour me proposer l'offre la plus adaptée et avantageuse. Tout a été simple et rapide grâce à ses explications et ses conseils.
Une personne professionnelle, à l’écoute et vraiment sympathique. Je recommande vivement son accompagnement 😊
Merci encore Marie !

Octopus installed a new Fox battery for me on 29th June 2026, but it immediately began reporting Fan Failures. Despite many calls and two engineer appointments for which no one actually turned up, this hasn’t been fixed. I just called again (21 July) and apparently there are no repair appointments available until 22nd September. It seems that Octopus are keen to do installations and take the money, but slow to address any subsequent problem.

I was on ev tariff daytime tarrif is to expensive I've gone elsewhere

all thow it took months and months for my energy problem to be fixd there are a few things im greatfull for

the engineers there polight there great at fixing the issues with meter ect i think you need to listen to the engineers more

the constant comunication the comunication was great most of the time i dident get past from piller to post i delt with 1 person most of the time and they spoke to me with every step they were doing to that my problem eventualy got resolved (my ihd was not comunicateing great)

the compensation this most companys brush off but octipus no they compensate you fareley and they even use it to top up your gas and elec if so chosen in my case defo because i have trouble topping up some times

over all i have gave this company 4 stars because there could be improvements and in my last review i dont think i was overley fare on all the pluses to what they realy offer but all being sead there is room for improvement and the main thing is better ears with the engineers

Helpful customer agent, Zinyaswa sorted out my billing issues with speed and courtesy.

A big fat 0 out of 10 for Octopus Energy. I hope they go down the pan as, no doubt, they will because of their utterly appalling incompetence. We had an air source heat pump installed. The engineers were great but once the thing was installed we were left with a mountain of rubbish in our garden that was meant to be collected the next day. It has sat there for the last month despite multiple exhausting phone calls and emails. The only response we ever got was a bland 'we are looking into this matter' or 'we are 'escalating this complaint ' and then again ' we are escalating it rven more' but still nothing. We explained that the grand children can't play in the garden as some of the bulky waste ie. pipes and radiators are a safety hazard but still nothing. In the end we have had to organise a refuse collection ourselves and will be deducting this plus more from our bill. Horrendous experience. Avoid. They are a sinking ship.

Bisher lief alles absolut positiv ab! Ich habe das Gefühl, dass der Energieanbieter sehr kundenfreundlich agiert!
Erst vor kurzem hatte ich aufgrund einer Anfrage den Telefonsupport versucht. Ich hatte gleich eine Betreuerin am Telefon -- ohne lange Wartezeit.
Fatime hat mich dabei sehr kompetent und freundlich bei meinem Anliegen unterstützt.
Auch dass ich knapp eineinhalb Wochen später noch einmal eine Statusnachricht von Fatime erhiehlt, finde ich sehr positiv.
Daher auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert!

Shockingly bad service. Taken 18months to try and get a smart meter fitted…still not done. Cannot speak to anyone, systems not joined up. Asked for same information 5 times through automated support service. Still no one takes responsibility. Moved both electricity and gas because service was allegedly better and human..it’s rubbish!!! Also have huge credit balance, but unable to get refund.
Worst customer service we’ve had for a long time.

If I could give 0 I would - CEO on the tv telling everyone how wonderful they are - but try booking a smart meter or asking a question and you either get ‘oops it’s not you it’s us’ or a totally non sensical answer.

Mal pero malísima experiencia con la factura ion, problemas durante dos años, reconocido por ellos y tengo emails de ellos reconociendo su error y aun así me facturan todo de golpe cuando ha sido fallo de ellos, sin duda no recomendable

I visited the Octopus Energy stand at the National Homebuilding & Renovating Show in March and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience.

On the first day, my wife visited the stand, spoke with a representative about the available tariffs, and was given a promotional gift. She explained that I normally deal with energy-related decisions and that I would come back to discuss the details personally.

The following day, I visited the stand myself and spent time speaking with the same representative. I was genuinely interested in switching from EDF to Octopus and explained that I simply needed to obtain approval from my landlord before proceeding. Within a few hours, I received that approval and was seriously considering making the switch.

However, due to the demands of running our own exhibition stand at the same event, I was unable to return immediately to complete the process. My intention was to contact Octopus shortly after the exhibition to continue the discussion.

What happened next was extremely disappointing. The same representative later came to our stand and, in front of one of our visitors, questioned why we had not yet signed up. He then asked for the promotional gift to be returned and spoke in a manner that I found rude, confrontational, and unprofessional.

As a business owner who regularly exhibits at trade shows and interacts with customers, I have never experienced anything like this before. It completely changed my perception of the company and left a very negative impression.

I was genuinely interested in becoming a customer, but the way this situation was handled was both inappropriate and disappointing.
