Aiden was really good

Aiden was really good with me and helped a lot. Better than the women who I had before him who just told me she didn’t know and that was it. Thankyou Aiden for sorting it out for me

Poor company, been sat with NO electric for a month now.

Switched to Avid Energy 17th January 2019, today 19th February 2019 and still no electric in house. I've rang daily and been PROMISED a call back and not happened. Been told it's their fault and engineer will be coming to sort it but still nothing done by Avid. Would strongly advise people NOT to switch to Avid Energy.
