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

ReviewerRatingDetails
TrustpilotPoor customer service, long wait times.
Google⭐⭐Some positive comments about replying to complaints.

What Are the SSE Airtricity Reviews on Trustpilot Like?

On the customer review site Trustpilot, the supplier has an average review score of just 1.3 of five stars. With just over 330 reviews, 96% of customers gave the company either a "poor" or "bad" rating. Only 3% 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.

The Irish energy supplier was rebranded as SSE Airtricity in 2014. Although the company operates in Ireland, it is owned by the UK-based SSE Group and therefore, not Irish-owned.
