Install of EV unit
Octopus engineer installed a EV unit in our home. Octopus emailed us to update when we were getting the equipment. Engineer phoned to ask questions and see pictures of electrical meter in house the day before. Gave us a time of arrival. Engineer was very careful, checking all work, also all work was very tidy. Also helped us install app and how it worked. Made sure we knew how to use the equipment fitted before he left. Very happy with this install.

Big Job - no problem
Thought it would be a difficult install but the technician said 'no problem'. It was complicated but he worked through it and produced an excellent job. The wiring and installation was difficult but the end result was very good. He did a test charge of the car and briefly explained what I had to do and to contact Octopus next day when the charger had done the system install. The user manual left a lot to be desired as I couldn't connect to the system next day and there was a problem with setting up our account. Annoying but not catastrophic. All in all not a bad experience.

Installation of EV Charger
Octopus Energy customer service was exemplary! Very courteous quick and very well explained by Ben the installer who turned up on time, all the way from Scunthorpe. He is a credit to your company and his expertise in his field was apparent. Good Luck Ben! If you treat all your customers this way, you will go far!! From a happy lady in Sleaford.

The best team, a good installation and a good octopus heatpump
I first and second installations were cancelled on the day as there were wood mice droppings in the loft. Ribble valley Pest Control trapped 2 wood mice and the loft was disinfected. We almost cancelled when the second installation was cancelled, persevered. Well worth it. We are very pleased with the team who successfully installed our Cozy 9 heat pump and nine new radiators. Excellent workmen, helpful and good explanations. I felt comfortable with them in my home. They are a credit to Octopus. The clean bee van collected the waste promptly. We are very pleased with the heat pump. It is quiet (unlike the gas boiler). Every room maintains the temperature set, 21degrees downstairs and 20 degrees upstairs. The two showers have much more power now through the heat pump. The 9 new radiators are neat and slightly thicker than the 1990s ones. The 250L water tank takes up more space than the immersion heater did. The water is hot and plentiful every time we use it. Our radiators needed replacing and would have cost much the same as the cost of the Octopus heat pump with 9 new Radiators. The Government Grant of £7500 was claimed by Octopus on our behalf, and we paid the remainder, £5700. We have had solar panels for 12 years, they were a good investment and work well to reduce the heat pump energy cost.

good work leaving site clean and tidy
The work was carried out around the time of heatwave, but the electrician was efficient and did a neat job. Whilst the roofer worked very quickly when he arrived.

Outstanding EV charger installation from octopus and exceptional service by Gordon Thomas
I've just had my EV home charger installed by Octopus Energy, and the entire experience from start to finish was completely seamless. From booking the installation to the final demonstration. A massive thanks to their installer, Gordon, who carried out the work at my property today. Gordon was absolute class from the moment he arrived. He was extremely professional, courteous, and polite, Before getting started, he walked me through the planned cable routing and installation layout, ensuring I was completely happy with where everything was going and how the finished setup would look. The quality of Gordon’s workmanship is 2nd to none . He took real pride in what he was doing, and it clearly shows in the final result. The wiring, conduit, and mounting are incredibly neat, tidy, and clean—there are no loose ends or messy finishes anywhere. He treated my home with immense respect throughout the job, leaving the installation area spotless once he was finished. What really stood out was how thorough and clear Gordon was after the physical installation was completed he took the time to guide me through the operation of the charger step-by-step. His instructions and explanations were crystal clear, making sure I was fully confident in how to plug in, manage my charging and how to use the app before he fished up and left .I would 100% recommend octopus energy to anyone thinking of having a home charger installed ,it was a stress free experience thanks Gordon and octopus

Excellent EV charger fitting
Octopus is our existing and m much appreciated electricity supplier so a natural to quote for EV charger fitting. From the initial enquiry (we're not not a straightforward case) through to the completed installation, my contact and our fitter were responsive, helpful, professional, supportive and effective. More than. happy with the service and more than happy to recommend.

Happy with heat pump but have mixed feelings on install
Day of install started with disagreement on how to access pipe work. Refused to go through ceiling which was partially removed due to ongoing building work and would only access through floorboards. What was agreed between customer and engineer after survey not same as notes after survey which were not sent to customer. Communications: were slow to respond some times. Plumbing done to convenience of plumber leaving ugly pipe work which had to be redone after install. Electrical cabling around outside of house spoiled by earthing cable. Would have looked better if placed inside tubing as per our solar install. Happy with the tank install in cupboard - very neat and well installed. Tidied and cleaned up well when job finished. Overall I’m happy with running of heat pump and app but installation spoiled by poorly finished work. I would recommend with some reservations.

Great work
We had an Octopus heat pump installed. From beginning to end it’s been an absolute breeze. We knew all the information we needed to know from the works we needed to complete before the install went ahead to our install date and when works would be completed etc.

Very professional team did a great job
Octopus heat pump install went really well from first deposit right through. Surveys were well done, questions answered and I had plenty of time to make the decisions on what I wanted to do. The installation team did a great job and were clearly experienced and cared about their work and their customers. The back office team also were friendly and helpful. No complaints and convinced this was a good decision.

Professional, neat and polite
I had an EV charger installation and since I already had solar and batteries it was slightly more complicated. Octopus engineer did a very neat job and simultaneously tidied some previous work so it all fitted nicely and looked more professional. The whole job was very neat, it was tested on charge n everything checked. Site was left very tidy n clean.

Installation
The exact day of the install was superb, the two cancelled appointments with less than 24 hours notice beforehand wasn’t from the EV team. However the installer was a clear 10/10. I cannot rate Danny highly enough. A superb job from start to finish. Articulate & thorough & walked me right through the process.

Great professional installation.
I had to wait a couple of weeks after getting the car for the charger installation but was very happy with the process on the day. Engineer called about an hour in advance, very professional approach, friendly but cracked on, gave clear information about the charger and App. Took just over 2 1/4 hours. Very satisfied.

Quality Installation
Prior to the installation, Octopus staff requested photographs and video of the area and possible routes for the charger installation and routes to where the charger socket was to be installed. When the engineer arrived a quick discussion about where the charger was to be installed and the route of the cable. Workmanship first class, cleaning up as he went. No complaints.
