We'll do what we can to resolve your complaint as quickly as possible. We'll do this by;

  • Understanding the situation and what caused the problem
  • Explaining what we'll do to fix it and whether we need further information from you
  • Provide you with an idea of how long it will take 
  • Ask you what you want to resolve your complaint


Once you've made a complaint we'll keep you updated on the progress and promise that we'll work as efficiently as we can to close the matter for you, once we know you're happy with the outcome. This usually happens within 2 working days.

Ombudsman Services: Energy: We always try to come to an outcome that you're happy with, but sometimes that's not possible. In these cases, we will issue you with a 'deadlock' letter. If you've received this or it's been 8 weeks since we logged your complaint, you could contact the Ombudsman Services: Energy. They're free and totally independent. Decisions are based on the facts available and may take up to 12 weeks, as they look at your case from the beginning to decide on a final outcome. This may be an apology, explanation, financial award or to correct the issue. We're bound to act on their decision however you aren't.
