SO energy have been a really great company to deal with, they let me know when they require meter readings and though I’ve told them I don’t want a smart meter they have accepted that decision and haven’t pressed me to have one.

They promised to help me a few months ago to get me get a meter…

They promised to help me get a meter reading done every month, because I’m registered disabled and I’ll be 80 years old next month. However they sent a meter reader round once only. They now send the meter reader only twice a year. They also promised to move my electricity meter off the floor to raise it so I can read it easier. and then they changed their minds. So at 80 years of age I have to get down onto the floor to read my meter every month if I don’t want estimates bills. Do they care about their priority customers? I can’t see that they do.

Hello Josie,

Thank you for leaving us a review. We appreciate you sharing your experience and concerns regarding the meter reading frequency and relocation of your electricity meter. We understand how frustrating it must be to have to get onto the floor to read your meter, especially with your registered disability. We acknowledge that our service has not met the expectations we set for you as a priority customer.

A member of our team will reach out to you via email/telephone to assist you further and move towards a suitable resolution.

We have now been a customer for 8 years and Soenergy have managed to maintain both their level of service and competitive rates. I was recently canvassed by one of the big 3 to change when shown the rate i was paying they advised me to stay with Soenergy as they could not get near it. So all the time they are competitive and their customer service maintains its level I shall not be looking to move all I can say is well done Soenergy for maintaining your standards

Extremely poor customer service

I would not recommend So Energy due to their extremely poor customer service.

I recently moved into a rental property which has a broken gas meter. I have spoken to them over chat 3 times, emailed many times, called once and raised two complains. My emails are being completely ignored, they closed the most recent chat instance and the complaints have made no difference. They said they would call me back after I tried calling and they have not.

They simply refuse to fix the issue, I have never experienced such poor customer service. I will be avoiding them in the future.
