[Technology] Bulb Energy

[Best Foot Forward]

I am considering moving to Bulb Energy. The main reason is potential cost savings, as it looks like I can save £500+ per year compared to my current provider.

They don't appear to be the cheapest, but customer service ratings look good......and I can also bang on about the benefits of using greener energy.

Any comments (good or bad) from existing Bulb Energy users?

 

[Springal]

Nope. But use Ovo who are very good, although prices are creeping up (but still a lot cheaper than the big suppliers)

Experience has been very good with these type of energy companies

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Ovo user ourselves and you can look at prices all day and still not get it. However customer service is good and helpful along with billing showing what use what along with energy breakdown now i am not a member of the Green Party but almost 65% of Ovo Energy is renewable.

How does 'green' energy actually work then?

Do they make sure none of the power that comes into your home comes from non-renewable sources?

Yes, I am being deliberately obtuse.

No idea....and something I was wondering. Same pipe, different gas / electricity, I don't think so. However if it saves me £500+ per year and powers my stuff, I am not really sure I am bothered

Just moved from OVO to Bulb in last few days. Too early to say but OVO we’re raising prices fast

I've used them for about a year in my house and rental flat. Customer service seems good. 100% of their elec is renewable and 10% of their gas is. (above average).

I have a referral link if you decide to join via the link bulb.co.uk/refer/adam1442 It means we both get 50 quid off against a bill. Not sure if referral links are allowed so can remove if not.

PM Me the link, if it's electric only and I meet the criteria it's happy days. My annual bill is about £400, I get the warm home payment of £140, so my electric would be about £20 a month!
Unfortunately that's due to living in a tiny flat and spending a lot of time in hospital with an incurable disease .... BUT .... Little wins

Been with Bulb for 6 months now. 35% cheaper for me than EDF per year. Loving it

Hampster,were you on SVT ?

Hi LBG. I was on the Better Energy package which was fixed but it was coming to an end and the price hike was significant (as it was the year before). I liked OVO, their customer service was really good, but felt they were pushing it on price.

 

[Rogero]

I used to be with Ovo then changed to Octopus. I will be looking for a dal in December.

 

[Cadiz Seagull]

I just moved to Bulb, definitely cheaper than where I was before. If you decide to move pm me as I have a £50 voucher you can have

 

[mac04]

Been with Bulb for a few months. All good so far.

 

[blue-shifted]

Very happy with Bulb

 

[Best Foot Forward]

Very happy with Bulb

Seems to be the general consensus. Reasurring

 

[Giraffe]

I’m with Ecotricity, no idea whether they are cheaper.

Moved to them three months ago. No issues so far, customer service seems great and monthly bill dropped considerably.
