We are experiencing unprecedented times as the impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) is felt across the UK.

The UK Government is implementing measures that are designed to reduce the spread of the virus that include:

  • stay at home as much as possible
  • work from home if you can
  • limit contact with other people
  • keep your distance if you go out (2 metres apart where possible)
  • wash your hands regularly
  • Do not leave home if you or anyone in your household has symptoms.

Supporting our customers is of paramount importance and we would like to advise of the measures we have introduced to ensure access to our helpdesk and continued delivery of services are maintained.

Having mobilised our remote working plan all helpdesk staff are now working away from the office in line with Government guidelines. We have ensured that access to our systems and telephone lines remain available to them, enabling the continuation of services for any queries you may have in respect of your account, including booking an engineer for an emergency should the need arise.

To protect the safety of both our customers and our employees, if you have recently returned to the UK from another country or there have been any significant changes to general health that may as a result involve self-isolation, please let us know so we can ensure appropriate measures are put in place.

In the event that you or a member of your household has either decided to, or been advised by NHS 111 to self-isolate, the following arrangements will apply to ensure continuity of services to you.

  • When calling the helpdesk, the customer should advise that they have decided to, or have been advised to self-isolate.
  • The helpdesk will take the call and prioritise according to severity of the issue, i.e. loss of supply of heat and hot water or metering and billing query.
  • A member of the engineering team will call the customer to see if the issue can wait until the self-isolation period has passed, or if the issue can be resolved remotely.
  • In the event of loss of service, arrangement will be made at the time for temporary heating to be provided.
  • Any outstanding issues shall be dealt with once the period of self-isolation has passed.

Due to the challenging times we’re all experiencing, we’re dealing with a much higher number of calls from customers than normal. So that we can support those in the most vulnerable situations we ask that you only call if your enquiry is urgent. We can also be contacted via email on enquiries@eastlondonenergy.co.uk We are doing our best to help customers as quickly as possible and we appreciate your patience during this time.
