SSE plc レビュー 3,993

poor communication. As executor of an estate they were the worst organization to deal with by far. uncompetitive pricing. Rarely follow through with what they say they will do - everything needs chasing and follow up. Many wasted hours dealing with them. useless.

When I finally got thru to Mussa he was extremely helpful when assisting me with my situation. Much appreciated.

Dreadful customer service
Would not reccommend, neither good prices, nor good quality of service and certainly very poor at handling issues.
Refusing to refund our account and chasing us with a debt agency at the same time. Poor.

Useless, worst energy supplier.

Took three weeks at my old electricity providers undiscounted prices at the coldest time of the year for them to bother to switch my account. Cost me over 150. Why did they make me go down to the basement to get the reading on the switching date? As soon as my contract is up I won’t be back

SSE is a completely useless company, IMHO. I am treasurer of a village hall in Wiltshire. The so-called "smart" meter hasn't been working for months. SSE keep sending estimated readings. I have phoned them repeatedly to ask them to replace the meter, but they do nothing and keep coming up with requirements for me to supply readings - utterly stupid, as the meter isn't working. It routinely takes me 30 minutes to gewt through to them and the person dealing with the complaint is lazy and useless.

Quite frankly these are probably the worse bunch of human beings around! Left our family including our disabled son without power so we couldn’t feed him and hoist him out of his wheelchair let alone get him in the house after digging up half of our driveway and blocking our front door just to do a simple joint connection!! They have left an absolute mess and are no interested whatsoever when you phone them!!

This is my third appalling review for SSE because I receive some partial communication from them (only in response to awful Trustpilot reviews) and when I email back with a specific question, I do not get a response. I have tried calling but after being on hold for over 20 minutes, here I am again attempting to get a response...

I recently wrote a review in December on behalf a friend who passed away in November 2025 and his widow about an issue that was ongoing for 2.5 years where SSE had continued taking money for a meter that had been removed and even though the ombudsman had ruled in favour of my friend, SSE had failed to make the appropriate repayments and he/ then his widow were being chased by SSE's debt collection partners. We have had a partial resolution - the year of incorrectly billed money has been returned with a goodwill payment for SSE's error however we have not had an response to the debt collection payments which were made (the debt collection were erroneously chasing/ hounding my friends widow in the aftermath of his death). It is shocking that once again I have needed to resort to Trustpilot in an attempt to get SSE to put right this issue. Can someone (there is a named person dealing with this complaint but I don't want to detail here for privacy purposes however this is a bit of a joke now) please look at this as a matter of urgency? Can this be escalated please? This is making a dreadful situation worse.

Extremely unhappy about SSE services.
I have been waiting to have an unsafe box and wire replaced and updated now since October 3rd. It is now December 17th. SSE have delayed the date to come out again and again. Finally I had a date today, 17th December to attend between 8 and 10 this morning.
I waited in the cold with no heating or hot water at the address. I even called SSE at 10, as there was no sign of them. The phone caller advised that they would be attending and in readiness my my new smart meter being fitted tomorrow.
But at 11.04 I received a text message to say that they couldn't now attend until January!
I am appalled by how this company have wasted my time and make no communication to advise until it's too late. Awful service

I hope to see them in court of justice. Some one must stop them . It’s a shame to see and read How they abuse everyone . It must be good money they pay to employees otherwise how reckless they can be to work for this company.

Absolutely unacceptable service.
Today, without any proper notice or communication, SSE Business Energy sent a team to our business and removed our electricity meter during peak trading hours—the busiest time of the entire week. As a result, our business has been forced to close for two full days (Saturday and Sunday) because no one from SSE works over the weekend to address the damage they caused.

This action shows:
• Zero respect for small businesses
• Complete lack of responsibility or planning
• No understanding of financial impact
• No customer care or accountability

We were given no chance to discuss, resolve, or even understand the issue before they shut us down. The team simply arrived, removed the meter, and left us with a business that cannot operate until Monday.

This has caused significant financial loss, destroyed our weekend trade, and put unnecessary stress on our entire team. For a large company like SSE to behave this recklessly is shocking.

If you are a business owner, think twice before trusting this company. Their communication is terrible, their actions are sudden and disruptive, and they take no responsibility for the impact they have on businesses.

Deeply disappointed.
Highly unprofessional.
Would never recommend.

Possibly the worst energy company ever

purchased a property and they were the suppliers. the change of occupancy team just don't answer the phone - you can be on hold for hours at a time

Avoid this company at all costs

Absolute disgrace no one answers the phone we raised a complaint over 6 weeks ago and have been back billed for an account that was going to a derelict property. We are now being threatened with legal action over the visit to cut us off despite having no notification of this.

Can I not put zero???

Absolutely no one answering the phones!!!!!

Im a business customer!!!!!
Switch to another company, at least they do.

If I could put a minus number I would.
Worst company ever. Had to resort to the Ombudsman as the stress is through the roof.

If I could award a minus value I would. In addition to historically being overcharged for electricity in Ireland for years in general, SSE pours salt on the wound by gaslighting customers with an atrocious billing system. Everything from the actual mechanics of the system to excruciatingly condescending "customer service" representatives who never take any responsibility for diabolically woeful system failure.

No internet for days for an entire village as they won't send an engineer out to change a fuse!

I've been trying to create an account for several days, but the website stubbornly refuses to accept the postcode I'm entering correctly. Fix your website; it's impossible to register an account.

SSE are a disgrace, avoid

The supply was disconnected, we paid the requested reconnection fee and £500 deposit on the 30/06/2025. Today, 13/10/2025, still not resolved, no electricity and no one at SSE seems to care.
