Too Expensive

Added 10/06/2009, reviewed by Jacqueline (Edinburgh)

Supplier Ratings

I found Scottish Hydro Electric to be far to expensive! There are 3 of us living in the house meaning we use a fair amount of hot water and heating and the charges were rediculously high! We nearly had a heart attack when the latest bill came in!! We are changing supplier immediately!

Supplier Ratings

Have been a customer for many years and they have never disappointed. Not always the cheapest but accuracy of billing and great customer service make up for this.

poor, poor service

Supplier Ratings

The person i spoke to to enquire about my meter reading, named Bea, was the most rude, bad mannered staff member i have ever spoken to, not just in this company, but in any company. Spoke over me, was insulting and then hung up the phone when I asked for a manager. There's an old saying, "customer is king" which has obviously escaped her. "Customer is dirt" more like it. Hence I am now planning a change of supplier. Most staff are helpful but unfortunately you are kept hanging on for a ridiculously long time having to listen to an extremely annoying tune.
