Precise metering and billing is of paramount importance to operators and residents of heat networks. An inaccurate bill or one that comes as a surprise, leads to frustration and disappointment. Then there’s the time involved in addressing the problem and the inconvenience it causes. Under Ofgem's heat network regulations, accurate, transparent, itemised billing isn't just good practice, it's a requirement. Residents need clarity and certainty on what they're paying and why, and our metering and billing services are built to deliver that as standard. Where a billing issue does arise, Ofgem expects back-billing to be a last resort and where it's necessary, limited to the last 12 months. It's one of several protections now built into how we manage billing across every scheme we work with.

Craig was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and well prepared. He quickly identified the problem and successfully restored the hot water in my flat. He was also very polite and clearly explained everything. Excellent service highly recommended!
Elisabetta Can 2 October 2026Thank you, Vic, for helping fix all the issues with the devices and equipment in my apartment. I reported a timer issue to Switch2, and Vic came to my apartment to fix it quickly. He also found some other issues and helped me resolve them at the same time. Vic is a very nice and helpful person. He knew that I was a new tenant and took the time to explain all the equipment and setup to me. He also guided me reset the payment password process step by step. I really appreciate his help and professionalism. Thank you, Vic!
Cheuk Yin Yeung 1 October 2026Really excellent service from Craig in GMV. Had no water he both sorted that issue quickly and noticed a leak which he then addressed immediately. Also flagged another issue with a part. Really great to see things being proactively addressed like this. This review is specifically about this experience and not necessarily Switch2 in general but they guy the phone was also good and they got Craig out relatively quickly also.
Daniel O'Brien 5 October 2026Smart Switch upgrade (2G to 5G) I just wanted to take a moment to share how impressed I was with Paul from your company, who came to my home this morning to upgrade my smart device from 2G to 5G. From the moment he arrived, Paul was polite, respectful, and genuinely pleasant to be around. He made a point to explain what he was doing, worked efficiently, and still found time for a friendly, natural conversation. It wasn’t forced or rushed, just a lovely, smart chat that truly made my day. It’s rare to meet someone so skilled at their job who also brings such a warm, positive presence into a customer’s home. Paul is the kind of employee every company should treasure and take good care of. Thank you, Paul, for a job well done and for brightening my morning. Please make sure your management knows what a gem they have. Sincerely, Ovi
