Even those thier prices may be lower than other overall you will pay for it. Look at your bills with a microscope. They put you on high tariff without your knowledge, price you late charges when you are waiting for the correct bill for them. They made mistake with the name of my account. It took me 3 weeks to change it. All my time wasting speaking to donuts. I had to file a complaint to get attention. They don't train (or most likely pay) their staff well so people at call centers don't care. I hope this company goes bust - They don't deserve to have the responsibility of giving us energy.

I have been complaining to EDF since February this year over a number of occasions where by I had received over billing, estimated bills after providing readings, refused refunds and been given incompetent customer service time after time. I left EDF in July and am still waiting for my account credit back after my final bill dispute ended in August. EDF are by far the worst energy company I have had to deal with since owning my first house in 2007. It has upset me that much that I’m thinking of taking all my evidence to the energy ombudsman with no resolution after all this time. Absolutely disgusting, stay away.

I start rent house from 6 April (reading mater electricity was 3201) and until 21 April( was exactly the same, what I know from new supplier) . One think that I didn’t live there from 6 April because I had contract on another house and I lived there to the and of contract(24April).They send me bill in which one I used 125kWh( reading mater was 3348 on the bill). I called them to explain that from the first day when I got a bill, a lot of stress and conversation and nothing. The new supplier contact with them and no any answer as well. They want just take money for nothing. I am not recommended. I will see with them in court.

May 2021. Having wasted a lot of my time on trying to get satisfaction from EDF, I intend to be as brief as possible here. They give you a 'Smart Meter'. It doesn't work. They give you a bill in July 2020 showing that the gas meter is stuck at ###. You phone and tell them it isn't working. They say they understand the situation perfectly and apologise. They say they are struggling due to Covid but will fix it and there's no need for you to do anything else. They send you a letter saying they're experiencing difficulties reading your meter (wow!!): please send readings. You do that. All it shows is that the gas meter is still stuck at ###. You check the meter and it is indeed stuck at ###. They reduce your Direct Debit as if you're not using any gas. A good recipe for further chaos. The next bill the exact same things happen again! The next bill the exact same things happen again!! You get fed up and raise a complaint. The meter starts working again. They contact you saying that they have dealt fully with your complaint and ask for you to close it. You say to yourself, "That's a bit premature." You wish to find out how they are going to deal with your gas usage since the meter stuck at 520. You also want to know what the Direct Debit amount should be since you haven't paid for gas since July 2020. You try phoning. Impossible. You send them a text (as invited) on +447481338540. You wait with baited breath. Do you have any confidence in EDF? NONE. Do you wait for the next instalment of chaos? YES.

Charged extra fees unnecessarily, bills sent at random times, bad customer service rude and hangs up the call.

On January of this year i had a Smart meter installed,this was supposed to be a PAYG meter,but instead,a smart credit meter was installed,their mistake,i asked if it was ok to pay my bills online and put money into the online account to pay my bills,they said fine. now,they estimated my first bill,which was a couple of months,because of "teething issues" their end collecting the readings,so i called and asked them,as this is an estimate,for my peace of mind,that i am not going to suddenly get a higher bill sometime later in the future,i was assured,no that would not be the case. so,fast forward to now,since the install in January i have had plenty of problems with EDF,having to constantly chase them up because the bills have not been generated on time,when they should be each month,or because they have not been getting a signal from the Smart meter,you would have thought they wouls survey areas first,but i guess they are trying to push out smart meters,but still all along the bills that i have got,i have paid on time.two months ago i did not get my bill,expected on 13th as usual,so yet again i contacted them,and eventually they told me that the meter that was installed,was not commissioned,even though i have previously been told it had been,and their details were wrong,so now,what they have done,is wrote off many of my previous bills,and also conveniently removed them online so that i can not view them,and decided to re tally it all up from January,and instead of me having a bill of around £150 as expected for the two months,i now have a bill of £369 because they lied to me about my meter being commissioned and estimated bills not being re calculated because they could not get a reading,costing me more. i am housebound with mental health issues and this is causing me a lot of distress knowing that i have to all of a sudden find an extra £200 or more because of THEIR mistakes and handling of my bills.if you do not want to be put in this situation,i would suggest you avoid EDF like the plague.

No one seems to know what there doing very casual about leaving customers with defrosting fridge and no electric for the whole day. i wouldn't recommend to an enemy either, Poor customer service, lack important details when instructing how to top up. They also gave me incorrect information on where to obtain a key then sent me on a wild goose-chase after consulting their computer records that bares no resemblance to the real world. I found them to be unprofessional inconsiderate and there is no accountability for their mistakes and certainly no consequences for their mistakes.

You asked above if I would recommend them to a friend, I wouldn't recommend them to an enemy I paid them money I didn't think I owed and then asked for a breakdown to see if it was correct, they refuse to give me a breakdown or even a bill but then gave my details to a debt company saying I owe them money They would send me three enact replica letters all posted on the same day and all asking for information I have already given them numerous times and did I see them advertising as green or conscious of the environment? Don't touch then

After witnessing the gas and electricity bill increase from approximately £60 to £90 then again to £125 per month within 1 year I quickly changed providers. EDF were contacted to query the final charge of over £220 and to explain the reason for leaving. The customer service responded with "You're on a standard variable tariff due to your contracting expiring, which is why the pricing has increased. Because we have followed procedure there is nothing that we can do." A few points to consider from the response: - The term "variable" means dramatically increase only. - "following procedure" means that on the right-hand-side of the letters received from EDF, there is a box that states you're on a variable tariff, which somewhat resembles small print with the size of the font. As an example of customer service and a non-extortion event a letter from SKY will be used. "We're writing to you to explain that your contract is coming towards an end on X date. Your services will continue, however at a non contract cost of £39 per month. However if you renew the current contract your discount will continue at £27 per month." The letter from SKY is clear, concise and also provide the exact details required, which were followed. From this experience I will never use EDF again and will be more cautious of other companies that could use the same swindling technique.

This company is atrocious. They make it quite clear they will pursue businesses and private customers mercilessly for unpaid bills. However if they owe money all polite requests for refunds ,they ignore .The arrogance towards customers surprises me in that I wonder they have any at all.I feel that their billing system is poor, shambolic and not fit for purpose . More recent complaints point to system is in place that it makes it stressful to exit from EDF. These people will be running a power station !

This just a quick advise to anyone thinking about joining EDF Energy, please be aware their customer service is very poor without adequate support. They don't listen to customer and like to impose their will on you without any consideration. I spoke to few of their employee over the phone and couldn't get a coherent response regarding the information that I want. Your bill will always increase anytime you submit a reading even after you have follow all their advice on reduce consumption. I have Economic system and still face bills increase, please compare the tariff before taking up any contract because even when they said its the cheapest, this is never the case.

Me and my son have had no gas/electric for three days now. we have waited for and emergency engineer who ended up not showing. customer service are rude and have no compassion. going to try and get different company. would never recommend this company and hope nobody has to go through what I've gone through with them They have sent me on a run around for about three days now with getting a electric key, gas card, and just having electric in my property.

Totally useless company who promise stuff but it doesn’t happen. Don’t even bother going with this company they don’t even reply to complaints.

If I could give less than one star I would. Shockingly bad company, claiming they're doing me a favor by billing me when we had closed our account with them. DO NOT USE this company.

I had such a bad experience with edf. Standards tariff rates are disgusting.

EDF are bullies who send out brutes to frighten vulnerable individuals. I have missed one payment due to illness, despite of writing a letter offering an explanation and apologizing and equally reassuring them that i would make up for the missed payment, EDF has still sent out three men to my home to intimidate me. Their behavior is indescribable. This event has left me feeling violated and humiliated And equally intimidated and shocked as i make regular payments, except for one, an explanation was offered and have not missed any more payments. My past experience with EDF is not great but what has happened recently is impossible to ignore.

I joined EDF as they are a large company and I thought I would be looked after. They didn’t return my calls or emails and the further I went up the chain the less they cared. I had joined with them on a fixed term and now I am stuck with them and their higher prices. I was told I could leave (without asking) but I would have to pay a penalty for both! Horrible company, worst energy company I have ever been with.
