Lost power and heating on Xmas day.
There was a delay in getting an appointment time but the electrician came 3 days later. On his first visit he got some sockets fixed and fitted a temporary solution to provide heating and hot water. On his second visit he quickly traced the electrical fault and fixed it so the electrical system and heating and hot water were operating properly. The engineer was extremely competent and thorough and did a great job.

It was easy via the website to book a repair. The engineer contacted me early with an eta and arrived on time. Smartly turned out and groomed he showed his professionalism by quickly diagnosing the problem and repairing. He has good communication skills and clearly explained what he had done and gave me a thorough safety briefing. Excellent service, thank you.
Brit Gas engineer came to fix our not working radiator.
It didn't take him very long to fix problem.
He clearly explained what was wrong and how he fix it.
Was very polite and friendly making it a very nice repair experience.
Would highly recommend British Gas services very much.
My heating went off on new year's eve and I didn't think there was the slightest chance of getting an engineer out that day under my maintenance plan. To my surprise an engineer was in attendance by mid afternoon. He sorted the problem out in no time ,and proceeded to establish what had caused the problem in the first place. This was also sorted. I am 85 next and can't thank British Gas enough for their brilliant service. Thank you British Gas.

Cheque keeps going to dead man's address
This cowboy organisation keep sending a refund cheque to my dead Uncle's address despite providing everything to their 'bereavement' team. Customer unhelpful team lie through their back teeth and are incompetent beyond belief. Still waiting for cheque from November. Wake up British Gas and pull your finger out!
UPDATE - the reply from British Gas below highlights their incompetence, the cheque is going to the wrong address, the name is not the primary issue. Live chat is utterly pointless as your advisors pass the buck, lie or talk a complete load of twaddle. I don't have a Facebook or Twitter account, so what is the email address of your CEO or someone in your senior management team? What about a direct telephone number whereby two people can engage in a sensible conversation like we used to do?

Liars.. Price tariff requested quoted.. Put me a completely different one. Most profit for them.. Don't trust them! on the
Failed me for months on several accounts.
Caused me so much stress and ill health.
Not taking my complaints.
Rude call handlers who put the phone down on you when you ask to put a complaint in or speak to a manager.
Quoted me a price and putting me on a different tariff although.
Quoted a direct debit date and not obiding to it.
Total liars.
Don't trust British gas.
Everything the quoted me was a lie and put me on the most expensive money taking tariff ever!
They are legailized crooks.
Hours of my time wasted on the phone and they never tell you the truth.
Failed on so many accounts!
Now wonder you don't have a complaints email department.
Would I recommend British Gas. Hell No!

Thorough quotation: positive experience.
Salesperson was friendly, thorough and efficient, he listened to my needs and built the quote around them. He checked which boiler would suit me best and how the team might access the install. He checked that all the things needed for a smooth install were compliant. He also explained the finance options. A very good experience overall.

Look after your current customers before chasing new ones!
Having booked a date for my annual boiler service 2 months in advance I made sure to keep the date available for BG.
A couple of days before I then got a call saying the date would have to be moved due to the annual surge in calls for help.
4 things occur to me,
1. How come my booking was taken in the first place.
2. Why is BG's staffing levels any responsibility of mine.
3. Basically although I pay a monthly sum of £50+ each month, this in actual fact does not guarantee any preferential consideration and for my £600 this year I have had nothing from BG.....
4. DO I NOW GET A REFUND??
