No service - if I speak to the same uselss man on the phone, I might explode. No response to emails. Faulty charger resulted in PCN. Absolutely no help whatsoever.

On a Friday a couple of weeks ago I was rung by Oliver White from Sheffield who explained about the increase in the cost of energy and as I had been in touch with my supplier to plan ahead but they where unable to offer a plan at that time . I decided to take up his offer and was given 14 days cool off time which gave me time to reflect on on the deal I have gone through with the change to EBS Energy and have found them to be very helpful . Also my old supplier has since been in touch to offer a deal but that worked out more expensive

GREAT JOB DONE AND SATISFYING!

Thank you ESB for the professional and immaculate transfer of my services to you. I am absolutely delighted to be your customer. You kept to appointments and your feedback were on time. Your staff are decent in their approach and they leave no mess after their work. My electric supply began on the appointed date and I am satisfied with the bill I received. Very reasonable and affordable. Thank you a million for being ESB; there is no competitor. I am telling my friends and neighbors!

Informative and supportive

I was fully informed on everything necessary so that I understood what the package was I was signing up for. The advisor was very supportive and personable and explained the whole process from start to finish

Normally I get left feeling confused with energy switches but with esb everything was explained really well and I've been told clearly what I'll be paying and when. The switch has gone really well and I can rest easy that for the next 2 years my prices won't increase

ESB John

I received a call today off John to assist me with renewing my contract for dual energy. He was extremely helpful and he set me up on a fixed rate until 2023 and has managed to keep my bills low. He was very professional and had a friendly manner and it was a pleasure to speak to him. I was with Together Energy before ESB and the customer service with ESB is incomparable. I'd definitely recommend to others for sure. Thank you John! :)

Happy Switcher

Just recently switched to EBS from Scottish Power. Very impressed so far. Really smooth transition, well communicated and informed throughout the process. Bills much lower and website is simple and easy to use, and no harassment to have a smart meter! Would highly recommend.
