Original review Sep 20, 2022

During g the installation of my ev charger the engineers caused damage to my brand new American Fridge Freezer, causing a large dent and scratches down to the metal . When reporting this to aes customer relations manager, she said that I had caused the damage when moving the Fridge Freezer.

Which was totally incorrect and impossible.

Basically they have excepted no responsibility to the damage they caused and have called me a liar. Do not deal with them.

Poor Service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I had an appointment for a smart meter to installed, this was cancelled.

Appointment rebooked for 26 October between 12 and 5. I sat waiting all afternoon for the engineer to arrive until 16.40 when I rang AES asking what was happening, the assistant contacted the "engineer" and found that another job had overrun and my meters would not be installed. The "engineer" had not called me as per the agreed terms and I was angry, but polite with the assistant who would arrange a further appointment, this now in December.

I was given an Email address to complain and perhaps seek compensation, after all if I was not in when engineer arrived I would be billed £30, this should work both ways but the Email I was given to complain does not seem to exist (resolutions@***S- smart metering.

Very poor service

Missed appointment

They are now due to come tomorrow (2 days after original appointment)

Original review Sep 25, 2020

Aes were contracted by Octopus Energy to fit our Smart meter. The time slot was 12-4pm.

At 3.50pm we were contacted to say that the engineer would be with us by 4.45. At 5.15 I rang, to be told he would be with us at 6.15pm.

At 6.40 I rang and the office had closed, and no sign of the engineer. The poor review is for a) lack of information, and b) lack of apology.

Had an appointment with these guys for a new electricity meter between 9am and 1pm. A week before date, had an email about a smart meter even though I didn't want a smart meter, so they got this wrong.

Then on the day, they did not turn up. No call or explanation.

Took day off work for this. Won't do it twice.

Appalling management structure

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Yes, all they think about is money money money. Engineers not respected at all.

So-called management tells you when in doubt about something call a manager, but they never answer their damn phone which makes me wonder why they are still at post. But they expect you to answer your phone when they call you which again makes me wonder who the *** they think they are.

You could be on a job and want advice from a manager who never answer calls and customers begin to ask what sort company this is and if the directors are aware of their managers attitude.

Good I no longer work there to see all this crap.

Cons:
  • Bad management

Preferred solution: They need to end the extreme disrespect

User's recommendation: The directors need to stop being obsessed with money and look into the management team attitude to work and show some respect to engineers who work so hard to bring all the money they are enjoying. All the managers and their assistants must change their attitudes and stop sidelining engineers.
