28 Sept '10: From a customer service point of view it is vital that customers are able to contact a company as quickly and as easily as possible via different contact routes. I know many other companies such as BT, who had a huge increase in customer service complaints, brought in an online ‘Live chat’ facility to enable their customers to click and speak to an advisor online via a live chat message service. Is this not something which potentially could be implemented within npower to enable customers to contact you online rather than completing an online form and awaiting a response? I know there are many contact routes available but I am sure that this method would prove a good business decision and would prove to be very popular as it’s like contacting customer services via telephone and getting the answer straight away but without the call costs and the unwanted hold music (which is another matter). The company's ‘Happy Together’ hold music was far better than the current hold music!

Thanks for your feedback Stephen. We're always looking at ways to improve the way we talk to customers and our customer service provision. We don't yet have a live web chat facility but we’re working to improve our online services, to make it easy for our customers to manage their accounts online, at a time that suits them.

 

At the moment, we have a customer service on our website called 'My npower' which allows you to view your bills online and make secure payments without having to pick up the phone. To take advantage of this service, all you need to do is register online.

Keep an eye out for a new and improved 'My npower' in the new year, which will give you faster access to all our existing online services, plus a few new ones.

In the meantime, you can also contact our Customer services team.
