When we ask others about what they think of Enova, people love that we're renewables-focused, an ethical social enterprise and community-owned.

But while people love Enova because we’re different in some ways, we are pleased to say we’re the same - and in fact excel - in other key areas that matter a lot to customers.

One of those areas is Customer Service and this is something on which we pride ourselves!

We always place an equally high value on our relationship with, and the service we provide to, our customers…. but don’t take our word for it. Read on to find out more.

Why is service so important to us?

It's no secret, the energy market is confusing at the best of times.

Trying to understand how your bill works, where your energy is coming from, whether your solar is working, whether you are on the right plan... the list goes on. All the more reason why customer service is of such high importance and why it should be a pillar of any energy retailer's offerings.

The other important value we hear from our customers is the personalised service we provide and our ability to offer excellent, helpful advice on their current situation. The industry and market knowledge our energy consultants are able to share with you is extensive. and places them to better help you to make sense of what can seem like a maze at times!

Our amazing team of energy consultants and customer service representatives are on hand over the phone and via email every weekday to help you get the most from your Enova Energy account. We're, quite literally, here for you. And it's this approach that wins us regular recognition!

Let's take a look at how some independent sources have judged our customer service performance against even the biggest energy retailers and just goes to show you don’t have to be the biggest to be the best.

Last year, we were proud and thrilled to be named the best electricity provider for customer service and sustainability by Choice for 2020

Australia's Best Electricity Providers ranked by Choice

To come to this decision, Choice took into account details of some key energy market reports and feedback from a general public survey. And importantly, Choice only recommended energy retailers that achieved 85% or more overall for their score.

A key metric that came into play was calls answered within 30 seconds. Take a look at the graph above for a comparison with other retailers. For the full Annual Retail markets Report from the Australian Energy Regulator, click here.

Another reputable source to commend Enova on our efforts as an Energy Retailer is well known, independent customer review site Product Review.

They have named us second in the category Best Energy Providers with a 5 out of 5-star rating.

Being the only Energy Retailer on the list with five stars, we think that is a pretty good representation of how our customers feel about our service. Take a look at what our customers are saying about us here.

With a new year upon us we are excited for the opportunities to come and will continue to look for more ways to improve the service we provide. 

In the meantime take a look at how we differ from the rest.  

• Choice Australia rated Enova the Best Electricity Provider in 2020 for Customer Service and Environmental Sustainability. 
   
  
• We're community-owned: as Australia’s first community-owned energy provider, we are owned by 1,600 community shareholders. 

• We're set up as a social enterprise: Australia’s first social enterprise energy provider and will reinvest 50% of our profits back into Australian communities. 

• We're 100% committed to the transition to a renewable future.

• We're 100% Australian-owned and operated. We keep energy money in Australia and work to ensure it is circulated in communities.

Enova Energy services household and business customers across all of NSW and South East QLD . If you value personalised customer service from a company that's truly committed to the renewable energy transition and invests in communities, now is a good time to switch.
