I have been with British Gas for last…

I have been with British Gas for last 15years and am disabled and I always get good service from British Gas home. Services, I have full cover and engineers are always polite and helpful and I get call when they are arriving and within time stated .
British Gas offers services which I would struggle to find myself , but engineers always help make it easier for me .
So I get my electrical repairs and plumbing and boiler with one call and they do the rest , including my appliances which are covered .

Saves me money and time finding different contractors else which I won't know or have any credibility.
All engineers are certified by the company themselves.
So it's a peace of mind to know they are all qualified and accredited.

Quick to get my boiler making

I had a service and parts replacement for my boiler. The engineer immediately fixed a part form his van stock and got the boiler working. He ordered additional parts from their central depot and fitted these two days later. British Gas are not the cheapest but very competent, quick to respond to call outs and make fixes very quickly. The Home Care British gas agreement works very well. The engineer was very friendly and kept me informed during the visit. Totally reliable. Peace of mind is worth a lot to me.

So disappointed with British gas as i have recently moved into a flat and the reading of both meters was taken by the local council when I set my account up on the 21st of July this year I noticed they had on there website that I contacted them on the 20th which is a complete lie anyway further to my disappointment they are like a horse with blinkers on only seeing there estemated readings are right and not the reading that you have sent them with photographic evidence and it seems like my complaint will escalate due to the incompetence of customer service going around in circles all i can say is your better of with another supplier that will work to resolve problems than escalate them

We were due to have air conditioning fitted on 2nd/3rd of September .postponed via e-mail on 26th August. We have trades booked as we want cables in ceiling not trunking . When we call we can’t actually speak to the dept. Our message is “passed on” We just want the wiring hidden and are happy to wait for completion we understand that units are unavailable are even happy to get wiring done ourselves but can’t talk to the installation department. Would not recommend this company

Avoid British Gas like the plague!!!

British Gas are incompetent to the point of beyond negligence, they make up billing out of thin air based on no readings and to maximise what they can try and fleece from you, then try and extort money with constant harassment, calls and threats. All my experiences of BG have been extremely negative, non existent customer service, in fact they wouldn’t know the meaning of the words. You are merely a cash cow to them. One star is too much there should be a negative scale. AVOID LIKE THE PLAUGE!!! Latest debacle still going on 1 year on for a cross meter issue and they still are unable to provide a bill based on the meter readings provided monthly. Complaint raised then shut down so re-raised. Lie after lie about sorting, complaint ended up going to the Ombudsman which was upheld but they still can’t be bothered to bill accurately. Settled with the Ombudsman determination but a waste of time as unless they start dishing out significant compensation amounts BG makes more profit by its CEO sleeping and snoring once, they are never going to change. This is also after the same BG sent me a bill for a property I used to live at 16 years earlier that wasn’t even connected to gas. Don’t even think about choosing BG and if your with them already get out why you can as that’s another speciality of theirs to trap you with false debt on your account and block you switching. BG are nothing short of a criminal outfit.
