Best Energy Company. With £50 To Switch!

Bulb have been my energy company for 4 years now and I honest think they are the best out there. Green energy, cheap and great service.

If you use a code you will also get £50 for switching so it’s a win win. They will also it early redemption charges!!!

Switching Was So Easy

I have to say I am so impressed with the Customer Service at Bulb, I switched a few months ago after a friend gave me a link to have £50 credited to my fuel account. Signing up was very straight forward, and was done on my phone in a couple of minutes on the bus of all places. You just log in later to provide bank details and meter readings when they ask for them. They kept me informed of progress, and the money was put in my fuel account once the actual switchover had taken place. I am saving £20/month compared to British Gas Dual Fuel, and they use 100% renewable energy unlike some! What's not to like?

Energy Company That Routinely Overcharges

Energy company that fabricates massively exaggerated readings so they can overcharge you after you have been a customer for a while.

Exploit customers by overcharging them when they do not check their bills.

I had Bulb for a year and they were fine and then I notice that they stated I provided a reading which was over twice the estimate. I did not provide the reading whatsoever but instead of taking an average of £50 a month, they took £400! They simply stated that in winter months energy use goes up but the fact of the matter was that I did not provide the reading and going up 8 fold is ridiculous.

After getting in contact with customer service they fabricated a story that they sent someone round to take reading. When I advised them that the meter was inside my house and locked and they would not have been able to gain access they changed their story advising that they sometimes use a third party to provide a reading and they must have been dishonest! No Bulb! At no point was any evidence provided by Bulb or any reading.

You have stated I provided a reading when I didn’t and then concocted a ruse to justify your exploitative behaviour.

I am taking this to the energy ombudsman as this is completely unacceptable!

Update: The customer service rep was terrible, did not answer my questions, provided no evidence for what they stated and was more interested in justifying a massively over inflated bill through a series of statements which he changed to accommodate his story. Simply stated it must have been a rogue 3rd party that did the reading dishonestly that they were not aware of.

Bulb does not live up to their claims with awful customer service and the constant need to check your bills to see they have not added hidden charges or bloated your bill when you do not expect it. Keep an eye on your bill otherwise it will cost you £000s

Update: Bulb always responds to negative reviews here with the correct text only for reputation purposes as they fail to resolve or actually do anything about the underlying issue. They caused me massive inconvenience and provided stories about why they overcharged me 8 fold in my bills. They have removed all evidence of their fabricated reading and realigned their estimates to show that they were estimating accurately and this exaggerated reading never happened.

Make sure you check you bills especially after you have been a customer for a while.

Going to report their practices to the Energy ombudsman.

Sorry to hear about this after being with bulb for a year as I did have agreat feel for them... ... but I feel the wheels are starting to come off with this company because I have only emailed them once in the year about a problem and they gave a silly reply which didn`t answer my query....i felt I got an email from an overseas call centre. Shame really.

Excellent

Excellent switch over and kept updated along the way, no problems since. Provided my first meter reading and said to send one again in approximately 3 months.

I was recommended by a friend and we both received £50.00 credit.

New, Clean Energy Company

I wanted to switch to a renewable energy company, and if possible save a little money at the same time. The saving was optional, but looking at the tariff I look to save 10% over the year vs my previous large supplier.

Their Gas isn't 100% renewable, but their electricity is, and until I get solar this is my main energy usage and what I wanted to clean up.

Switching is really easy, 

You get £50 credit when joining up, and so do I, which makes telling people about your positive experience genuinely beneficial, as you can easily get a few months of energy for free by picking up referral credits.

The App they have is really nice, works great and has much more detail and info on it than my previous suppliers app.

All in all so far I'm very pleased.

Somehow my referral code was removed from the review, so you can't save £50 when signing up. Here it is again:

After 1 Year.

I've been with them for a year now and they have been the best so far. I recently received an email from them saying they have credited £10 to my account because I had waited on the phone for 11 minutes to speak to someone 3 weeks earlier. This is how companies should behave, I thought. They will pay any exit fees when you leave your old supplier. They have consistently been the cheapest for me for the last year. You get monthly email reminders about your direct debit due. If your account is in credit by more than your monthly direct debit you can request a refund. They offer the warm home discount. They also operate a referral system where you and the one refer can get £50 each added to your account when you sign up.

Rare-cheapest Provider With Best Customer Service

Just joined Bulb, having read positive reviews from the existing customers, having previously used Npower, Utility Warehouse, and my last supplier First Utility who billed me very high amount on its last bill, which forced me to look for alternatives and when I was disappointed unable to find any decent deal as cheaper and smaller providers lack good customer service, I was lucky to find Bulb energy, and heard nothing off the supplier, I did my due diligence and found out their unit rates are reasonable and the provide excellent customer services, and atm I can say their Electricity unit rates are cheapest, accordingly I was pursuaded to join bulb.According to experts at least once a year you should seek for new supplier instead of staying with one

1 Year As A Bulb Energy Customer

I've been with Bulb for over a year now and having had no issues whatsoever I still thoroughly recommend them. Their tariff remains competitive and transparent and it's nice to use 100% renewable electricity.

To celebrate my Bulbiversary (1 year with Bulb) they’re doubling my referral rewards from Thursday 13th December to Wednesday 19th December. Sign up to Bulb during that period via my referral link and we both get £100 FREE ACCOUNT CREDIT on your switch date:

https://bulb.co.uk/refer/norman7115

Switch with my link outside the above dates and we'll both still get £50 account credit.

Been With Bulb For 12 Months

British Gas customer for years but with the many price increases I decided to go online and compare who the cheapest supplier was . That’s when I discovered Buleb was coming in way cheaper than the rest. Didn’t switch through the comparison website as found out if you used a link you could receive £50 credit.

Very smooth switch over as once you complete your details bulb does the rest. I absolutely ❤️ bulb and very happy to say I’m saving £550 a year by switching gas and electricity to bulb.

Feel free to use my link and to get a free quote to find out how much you can save . If you decide to switch you will get £50 credit when you use a link.
