SSE Airtricity Reviews: Are They Any Good?
To determine if the SSE Airtricity reviews are any good, we look at the two main customer review websites and see the results.
📞 SSE Airtricity Ireland Reviews
Reviewer | Rating | Details |
|---|---|---|
Trustpilot | ⭐ | Poor customer service, long wait times. |
⭐⭐ | Some positive comments about replying to complaints. |
On the customer review site Trustpilot, the supplier has an average review score of just 1.4 of five stars. With just over 369 reviews, 96% of customers gave the company either a "poor" or "bad" rating. Only 4% of customers gave the supplier an "excellent" review score.
The chief complaints raised in the comments regard the supplier's poor customer service. There were also many instances reported of customers having issues with higher than expected prices.
Clearly Airtricity signs up too many customers and then as always have too few Customer Care agents to deal with queries abd complaints. I was waiting for 2 weeks for a call back on two different occasions. Impossible to get through by phone. Extremely poor service - a bit like Eir a few years ago. Avoid until they improve and pay and train staff properly.
Mary Bertelsen on Trustpilot, 06/02/2024
On Google, the reviews are much the same as Trustpilot with several customers leaving comments about the poor customer service they recieved, along with issues surrounding payment and pricing.
If I could give 1 star I would…. Actually shocking company to deal with and will be extremely happy when my contract ends in March … all bills are wrong then they forget to issue bills then charge you for extra weeks because of there mistake!!! Never answer the phone and when they do they have no idea what you are saying to them !! Please stay away and go to another company
