Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 97 reviews, reviewers had a great experience with this company. Customers frequently praise the helpful and knowledgeable staff members who handle energy tariff changes and general account queries with exceptional politeness and professional dedication. Consumers genuinely appreciate the fast response times and convenient messaging communication methods available for sorting out everyday account matters smoothly without experiencing unnecessary operational delays. However, some reviewers were not happy with unexpected billing complications and inaccurate estimates received on their accounts after updating their service plans. A few other people also felt that communication broke down when promised callbacks completely failed to happen or support channels proved frustratingly unhelpful.

Reply from Sainsbury's Energy

Hi there,

I am very sorry to hear about the confusion regarding your gas charges. I understand how frustrating it is to receive a bill for a period you believe has already been covered, especially when using a prepayment meter.

I want to investigate this for you to ensure you aren't being asked to pay for anything twice. I have requested your account information via Trustpilot so I can access your details and look into the history of your gas meter and the charges from 2023.

Once I have those details, I will get in touch with you directly to clarify the situation and resolve this as quickly as possible.

Best regards,

Siobhan
Trustpilot Team

Would give zero stars if I could

Would give zero stars if I could. Am continually harassed view smart meter which on installation was told the gas element would never work due installation/distance/obstruction problems. Have been continually harassed. Time and time again I have been put on the do not contact list and have even got compensation because of this. I have got myself onto their vulnerable customer list to NO AVAIL. Unfortunately I am contracted and can't dump them. The dysfunctional computer just grinds on and on harassing me.

Wish we had stayed with Octopus

Moved from Octopus 2 weeks ago been inundated with emails and text messages about having new smart meters installed don't even want them. Given a phone number to call at EON was the general number so after ages giving all details was then transferred to another agent working from home (dog barking in the background). Asked for all details yet again then after ages said she need to contact another department. Said we would get a call back. 2 hours later no call. Wish we had stayed with Octopus.

Absolutely the worst energy company I have ever dealt with.
I was unfortunately with Sainsburys energy for 20 days as the previous occupier was already with them during that 20 days the house was completely empty but Sainsburys provided me with a bill of £250 for 20 days of not using anything. When I actually moved in I swapped to Octupus energy and was only charged £109 a month that was with the hot tub on 24/7 and using heating a lot anyway I disputed the bill with Sainsburys it took them 6 months to come back to me and tell me to pay £170 because they had made an error I paid it then 3 months later they sent me a random check for £88 because they said they miscalculated the original bill then two months later they told me I had to pay them back £37. This if all for a 20 day bill back in February for an empty property 10 months later they are asking me for money for a bill I already cleared and paid that was extortionate for an empty property. They rip customers off worst company night mate to deal with

Hayley was very helpful and sent me links to find out about my Warm Home Discount application this year. Always a grey area where DWP say energy company organise it and energy company refer you back to DWP. I will enquire again at the end of Octiber when applications are open.

😡 NECTAR POINTS 😡

I have been with Sainsbury’s Energy for a very long time. I am sir-post to get an extra 2 Nectar points for every pound I spend in Sainsbury’s. Normally these points are credited at the beginning of each month for the previous month. Today the 2 September 2025 I checked my Nectar account and was angry to see that I had only received 2 x 17 Nectar points when I know that I spent more than £17 in August. So I then checked ho much I did spend in Sainsbury’s in August and I spent a total of £99 which means I should have receive 2 x 99 Nectar points. This is not the first time this has happened and I bet it will not be the last.
One has to keep a close eye on every company nowadays that one deals with because every company throughout the world is very untrustworthy nowadays.
