Phoned up for information - RUDE

Phoned up for information. As a first time buyer myself needed some information confirmed , contract length etc, instead i had a rude lady on the phone who just went silent after i asked my questions. then gave me attitude, she did not say if i wanted to sign on i could do it over the phone or tell me to go to the website, she just sat their in silence. I asked to speak to someone else and was told there was no one else. i have family who deal with properties, just lost a lot of business.

Hello Barry, we're really sorry to see that this happened to you. It is not the standard of service we strive for and we will investigate this to ensure this does not happen again.

Many thanks for letting us know.

all good so far

all good so far. Customer service has been within 24hrs by email and they have arranged for a new smart meter to be fitted, though not for 8 weeks, as ours is ancient.
Transfer to Home Energy was seamless.
Thank you to Aysha in customer services, she has been very consistent and helpful. Really really nice to have all comms with one person for one issue.
Only been a few weeks but compared to the sh** show that is Eon next, this is great.

Switching to Home Energy was smooth.

The switch to Home Energy was very smooth and thus far I have no reason to regret the switch.
Fingers crossed that remains the case. I will update at the next price cap or earlier if the need arises.
I was a little sceptical of switching to a company I'd never heard of but their tariff was on Martin Lewis' Money Saving Experts Cheap Energy Club (when admittedly I'd missed the British Gas offer they had in their October 2025 Big Energy Switch) and whilst MSE's site clearly stated they couldn't specifically recommend Home Energy due to lack of information (or words to that effect), the fact that their tariff was shown gave me enough confidence to do some more research into them.
Home Energy's tariff actually came in cheaper than the other 2 of the 3 tariffs featured in the 3 MSE Big Switch Winners (Octopus Energy and EDF).
It’s a dual fuel variable price capped tariff with no fixed term, so there are no early exit fees.
Which for me personally, is a bonus because I get analysis paralysis at the concept of making a change and then being tied in incase I've made the wrong decision and regret it.
At the current rates/price cap, I stand to save approx. £300 a year from the EON Next Flex tariff I was on (based on my standard usage over the last 3 years) which was comparable to what I'd be paying on the best tariff in the 3 MSE Big Switch Winners which was a British Gas fixed for 14months with a £50/fuel early exit fee.
Obviously when the next price cap is issued what I'm paying could change as I don't have the benefit of a fixed tariff, but the projected saving of this tariff is 50% more than the next best fixed one in the 3 MSE Big Switch Winners (which equates to £150 a year) which is significant enough for me to switch to Home Energy when I have the security of knowing I could switch without any fees if the next price cap throws a spanner in the works.
It was very easy to set up the online account and submit my meter readings on their portal (they did send handy email reminders to submit them too).
I also called them to double check out their Priority Register Services and was pleasantly surprised to be able to speak to a real person without going through onerous automated menu systems with extended periods on hold. The lady was pleasant and happy to answer my query and assured me their support in this regard is as per the industry standard levels, so I've no reason to doubt it at this point.
All in all, so far so good!

Good rates but not quite as good a switch over

Seemed a simple straightforward switch except for having to provide meter reading when I am on a smart meter. Home Energy explained they could not get readings straight away. I had submitted one reading when my last supplier sent me a final bill so I advised them of that one as well

Not great

Not great. How does it take 10 days to supply a previous supplier with opening readings? Customer service staff who raise their voice and deny doing it, a less than poor app that has no Help section or Contact Us section - probably because they haven't had training on how to deal with customers. Shame that Consumer Duty doesn't reach across energy companies.

I have two meters and only one was…

I have two meters and only one was transferred to Home Energy initially but after raising the issue a few times it was transferred to Home Energy, but there were errors reported on the account for the 2nd meter and this means meter readings cannot be entered like the first meter. I have reported this problem and sent all the details and screen prints but after reporting it over SIX TIMES it is still not resolved. I have had to send them pictures of 2nd meter so they can enter the readings.

Hello there, we’re very sorry for the ongoing issues you’ve experienced with your second meter and for the repeated effort you’ve had to make to get this resolved. That’s certainly not the experience we want our customers to have, and we completely understand how frustrating this must be.

Please contact us at hello@homeenergy.co.uk
and mark your message for the attention of the Customer Resolutions Team. If you include your account details and any recent correspondence, we’ll ensure your case is reviewed as a priority to get both meters fully aligned and functioning correctly.

Thank you for your patience and for bringing this to our attention — your feedback helps us identify and fix issues more effectively for all our customers.
