E.ON Next Reviews (4.5 / 5)
SSE Business Energy Solutions is rated 4.5 / 5 on TrustPilot. E.ON Next’s TrustPilot rating is above the average rating for all the energy suppliers we have compared.
TrustPilot is a leading customer reviews platform. Some energy suppliers do not have business profiles, so in those cases, ratings have been taken from their consumer profiles. We have filtered the latest reviews by ‘business’ to display the most relevant business-to-business customer feedback.
Check out one of their latest business-related reviews below:
“I switched from being an E.ON NEXT customer to another energy provider and almost immediately regretted the move! I switched back to E.ON and am so thankful I did!
Competitive prices that E.ON offers are one thing, but being able to speak to knowledgeable, friendly and polite staff when necessary, who go to great lengths to ensure customer satisfaction, is priceless in my view.
In particular, I would like to thank advisor Kaci for her considerable help and the kind and efficient manner in which she dealt with my problem.“
