The majority of customers gave the supplier a negative review
The issues that were reported mainly pertain to problems with customer service and the high prices for their energy.
Terrible customer service . Agent reading from a script and constantly talking over me mid sentence . Switched suppliers as a result..
What Are the Electric Ireland Reviews on Google Like?
The overall ranking for Electric Ireland on Google is 1.4 out of five stars, with opinions that are quite polarized.
People either rank the provider as excellent, or as horrible. Very few customers left a ranking in between the two most extreme options.
Again, most of the comments left speak about pricing and the company's customer service representatives.
If I could give no stars I would - awful customer service, we overpaid due to a fault on their side, and the money was taken out irrespective of being told several times there was a freeze on my account. Awful service, strongly strongly do not recommend electric Ireland, I will be moving as soon as I can.
