Statement on Northern Ireland energy satisfaction results
Alex Neill, Which? Managing Director of Home Products and Services, said:
“Eight in ten households in Northern Ireland are with the two largest electricity providers, but customers with smaller electricity suppliers are happier with the service they’re getting.
“If you’re not happy with your energy provider you should look to switch, as you could get better customer service and save money.”
