Just awful

Just awful, avoid this company. I have been bombarded with calls and emails for smart meter installation. The engineer failed to attend and so energy are refusing to follow ofgems standard £40 compensation.
Apparently I don’t have room for a smart meter but keep getting emails and calls to schedule the booking again???

Hi Laura Smith,

We are truly sorry to hear if you have had a negative experience with the smart meter installation process and the subsequent issues with compensation. We understand how annoying it must be to receive repeated communications when the initial attempt was unsuccessful and you were told there wasn't enough room.

I can confirm I have now reviewed your account and have sent you an email with an update addressing your concerns. Kindly review and respond to my email at your convenience so that I may be able to assist you further.

Kind regards

I originally wasn’t happy with regard to being unable to talk to a human about advice/admin on new tariff.
The company went above and beyond in trying to get back to me personally and were very helpful in explaining the concerns that I had. Excellent customer service

EV Tariff

Unfortunately I have to give So Energy one star!
The reason being that I now have a plug in hybrid.
I eventually got smart meters and a EV charger installed but can I get on to their EV Tariff.......No, I just keep being fobbed off with them saying that the photos I sent them (3 times now) need to be jpeg, they are jpeg! Everyone else that I have sent them to can open them, why can't you?
I will now wait until my current deal runs out and go elsewhere! Thanks So Energy!!

Hello John,

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you taking the time to share it.

We understand how frustrating it must be to have your smart meter and EV charger installed, only to encounter difficulties when trying to switch to our EV tariff. We also appreciate that you've already sent the requested photos multiple times, yet this has not been resolved.

The issue certainly isn't the experience we want our customers to have, and we're sorry for the inconvenience and disappointment it's caused. While there can sometimes be technical issues with image uploads or file compatibility, we recognise that being asked to resend documents repeatedly is frustrating.

We'd like the opportunity to investigate this further and see how we can help get things moving. I have now sent you an email with a resolution to this.

If you could please have a read through the email I sent over and respond at the earliest opportunity, it'd be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards,
Jag.
So Energy Team.

Information not passed onto Engineer

I requested by phone and email beforehand for my meter to be installed with the communication element disabled, i.e. in "dumb mode" but this information was not passed onto the Engineer. After liaising with So Energy, the request was eventually granted and the meter installed to my satisfaction.

Found SO generally good

Found SO generally good - website decent. Found contact recently harder as chat function with agent only available office hours. Arranged new EV tariff ( could not do automated ) and requested dat 2 weeks away to start ( when charger installed) new tariff was altered immediately meaning paying higher daytime costs for additional 2 weeks

Hello James,

We appreciate your feedback regarding your recent experience. We understand your frustration with the chat function's limited availability and the immediate tariff change before your EV charger was installed, leading to unexpectedly higher costs. We are reviewing our processes to ensure a smoother transition for our customers when new tariffs are arranged.
