Important things to know

Timings may vary, but everything should happen within 4 to 6 weeks
Don't worry if you don't hear from us; this means your switch is going as planned. We'll only call if something goes wrong
Your supply won't ever be disrupted, even if the switching process takes longer than normal.

Things that can slow down the switching process

If there are any delays with your switchover, we'll always let you know.

Your meter reading was too high/too low
If your new meter wasn't read correctly or if the wrong meter was read, we'll ask you to submit another reading (we have a Meter Reading Guide if you need it).
Wrong MPRN number
Your MPRN number changes every time you move as it's linked to your property, not your account. If this happens, we'll only find out when NIE Networks verifies your first meter reading and provides us with the correct number for your property.
Incorrect bank details (for direct debit customers)
If any of your details weren't entered correctly, we may not be able to set up your direct debit or process your first payment.

When you should contact us

If any of your details including your name, email, address or phone number weren't entered correctly during signup, we may not be aware or be able to contact you if there's a problem. So please let us know if:

Your Welcome Letter hasn't arrived within 2 weeks.
Your first SSE Airtricity bill hasn't arrived within 4 to 6 weeks (check My SSE Airtricity first if you signed up to eBilling)
You're having problems registering for My SSE Airtricity because your email address doesn't match.
