Advantages: Customer service is SUPERIOR! Disadvantages: They wont give me any stock for the amounts our family uses!
...to the Chase. Yes Southern Electric has special offers and different rates for different purposes. BUT, they train their salesmen to cut to the chase! (Or at least the salesman I was given behaved like this). I asked a question, and he answered it with no double talk or side stepping. When I asked for the unit price, he gave it. When I asked about the offers, he explained each one, and showed me how each effected the overall cost against the unit ...

Advantages: Hard to think of any Disadvantages: Could end up in Hot Water
...listen to reason but today Southern Electric went straight to the top of the list.
Let me tell you a story.
I have a friend who is Swedish but lives in this country and Southern Electric are her suppliers.
For several years she had paid £ 40 per month for her electricity with no problems whatsoever.
When a friend informed her that it sounded a bit high for a small cottage she contacted Southern Electric who agreed with her and reduced ...

Good Service Review ofSouthern Electricby
Ankes-un-amun
Advantages: Good prices and good customer service. Disadvantages: Occasionally need chasing up.
...the next salesman came from Southern Electric I was reluctant to listen. However, he was quite persuasive in a non pushy sort of way and told me on the spot what sort of savings I could make. He seemed very upfront with me so I ended up signing up to give them a try. To this day I can still say that this was the most un-intrusive salesman I have come across.
I should probably mention that I pay my bills by Direct Debit and the way that the Southern ...

Advantages: pay as you go and no shock bills Disadvantages: have to take key to shop but then go to the shop sometime anyway
We are on Southern Electric but we never have a bill.
A few years ago we swopped over to having a key. This means that we pay for the electricity before we use it.
We do this by taking the key to the local shop and handing it over the counter. They put it in a machine and put on the key however much money we want. A bit like a swipe card for your mobile phone.
We then take it home put it in our meter and hey presto we have electricity for ...

Quick review of Southern Electric Review ofSouthern Electricby
sunsail
Have had a boiler and central heating policy for 14 months now. Which has included 2 services. The first service had to wait several days for parts and then the most recent service has left us without hot water for 7 days now and still no confirmation as to when parts will a. arrive and b. be fitted.
We have to phone to find up what is happeneing and are left on hold. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND

Advantages: cheap and good customer service Disadvantages: none
Southern Electric is one of the electricity company that I would recommend. They offer cheap electricity and with the Economy 7 tariff, many activities such as heating that consumed lots of electrity could be done during the off peak hour in order to keep the electricity bill low. Also, they provides a wide range of value added service (at a cost) that will keep you sleep well. They are able to provide electrician to fix any electrical problems 24 ...

Advantages: Cheaper utilities! Disadvantages: None, so far!
After moving house I called Southern Electric to give a final reading etc. I hadn't thought about who was going to supply the electricity in my new home, but the person at the other end of the phone suggested we stay with Southern Electric - as an out of area customer I could enjoy something like 10% savings and the cutover would be seamless from my perception. So I thought, "Why not" and gave it a go. The guy then said that they could offer cheaper ...

Advantages: Ebico much cheaper than Southern and the rest! Disadvantages: Ebico-absolutely none
...all the big companies.
They use Southern Electric/Scottish to read the meters on their behalf and send the bills but you pay Ebico prices.
There is NO standing charge (and no hidden one either).I have been astounded how affordable my bills for gas and electric have been.I have recommended them to numerous friends of mine and they have really seen a difference especially 2 of them that were with British Gas!!
Check them out on goo goo the search ...
