Managing your bills

There are lots of things we can do to help make your energy payments easier to manage.

Topping up: Did you know you can make prepayments off your bill before it’s issued? This can help you budget if you are paid weekly, fortnightly or monthly. You can do this quickly and easily with our handy app or by logging in to My SSE Airtricity.

Meter Readings: Providing meter reads to us ensures your bills are accurate and that you only pay for actual usage and not estimated usage. Submit your meter reads online, through our mobile app or through ESB Networks. Sign up to our free, handy reminder when a meter read is due, so you’ll never have to worry about estimates again. For more information on how to read your meter.
