Keypad + connectivity disappointing…

No complaints about staff but the keypad + is very much a hit or miss experience. I have complained a few times but the BT connectivity is so intermittent. It probably fails to connect more than it does connect that we don’t even expect not to have to go outside to manually insert credit. Big disappointment.

Very efficient service

Power NI are one of the very few companies that seem to care for their customers. I phoned and within a minute was put through to a real person. She was knowledgeable, had a lovely manner and sorted out my problem within a few minutes. I felt it was back to the 1980's when companies respected their customers. Well done NI Power

EV tariff and new meter

Approached Power NI to move to EV tariff and have meter board changed. Agent was very helpful, patient, knowledgeable and informative. A real pleasure to speak to someone who knew what they were talking about. Couldn't have been any easier to make te decision.

Online submission of export readings is offline.

Went to submit export reading for our solar panels for the past year, but the link in Power NI's reminder email does not work. (Last year the link redirected to the website OK but reading could not be accepted - so phone and email in the end.) And they can't be contacted by phone over the weekend. I have a deadline of 26 Sept to submit. This is awkward - would a reading on a postcard from Italy be acceptable?

Hi,

Thank you for your review.

We are sorry you were unhappy with the response time to your email, we endeavour to respond to our customers as quickly as possible.

We understand a price increase isn’t welcome news.

The underlying Power NI residential unit price has been reviewed by the Utility Regulator and an increase of 4% has been agreed due to increases in market and network-related charges.

We would like an opportunity to check that you are on our best tariff if you wish, our customer helpline number is 0800 0285 455 (option 3). Opening hours are 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday.

Kind Regards,

Power NI Team

Disabled person treated very badly by customer service

I recently had a huge vets bill which warranted me requesting to move my payment to the end of the month and I pay by card- this is happening about 6 times in 2 and a H
half years. My bills have always been paid in full no issues and I have stuck to every agreement I have made. Now I am getting horrible emails telling me I have to either move to pre-paid or direct debit going forward which i don't feel Ineed to go, my meter is in awkward place and I'm disabled as I explained but it was the same cheeky type of email I received back. I'm appalled that I'm being treated like this by an absolute jobsworth who really has no sympathy for anyone. I will be putting a complaint into PowerNi and Ofgem and its disgraceful, I am fed up trying to explain myself to be cut down. If this sort of behaviour keeps up I will take this to my MP, the papers etc as it is affecting my mental health. You really need a change of staff who have a bit of understanding instead of being cold and calculated to make a quick buck.
