I was just having a fault looked at on my card meter but after talking to Nathan the engineer he certainly put my mind to rest about smart meters and explained a lot. After he fitted the meter he then explained all the ways I could save money by sorting my home out and I am now sorted. Much easier to just pay for my electric and gas online, I can see what I'm using and all is working well. Definitely suggest anyone paying on card or key should go over to it, it's much better. Thanks.

When our fairly new boiler had a fault this morning, I was dreading calling a British Gas call centre, as you do.
But, as it turned out, Latif, who handled our case, was an absolute joy to speak wi
th. He made everything so easy, and went the extra mile on two instances which made a significant difference to the outcome of our issue and, the course of my day.
The engineer, Jamie, who came out later the same day was also a pleasure; very thorough in his work and his explanations of our options.
I've never known customer service like it and it has realigned my expectations.

Always had good service from British Gas, The man who fixed my Boiler was great. No complaints. There is one thing though when phoning up this time it took a while to get to speak to someone to book the appointment, some robotic connections were not giving me the correct answers, I persevered and eventually got a nice lady who booked the appointment.

Jointly owned property where the top flat needed the Gas and Electricity meters moved. We were asked to provide photos of the meters by an individual at British Gas. 2 months and counting this person working for British Gas never replied despite multiple emails to him for an update and even the British Gas Contact Centre contacting him. Had to make a formal complaint for an apology. Lets see if BG can manage that and how individual employees work....or don't work in this case! Will be cancelling contract with BG.

Contact can be unreliable

Unfortunately British Gas provide their engineers with out of date information. It is difficult to get old phone numbers deleted and email addresses may not be current. Their engineers are brilliant.

Good Comms to confirm appointment including a text reminder 24hrs before, which was apreciated. Engineer doing the gas safety check arrived on day and time in the timeframe as booked and was very polite and professional.

Could do better

We had new meters fitted in September 2024, as the gas meter was not sending readings off. The fitter could not give us the display and said some one would be in touch, by December we were fed up with waiting, and now we are told we will have to have new meters again. We booked a call for the 7th January between 8am and 12 noon, at 11am we got a call to say they would not be attending and we would need to re book. We cannot get an apppintment until the 31st January. But they would would compensate us £40 - we have actually been credited £38.72. We have not had a bill/statement since August, no one has asked for us to read the meter or told us the new meters are not working. Although payments have continued.
We spoke to some one on line and they sorted a bill within the hour their service was excellent. But as for the rest of the company they need to really look at what is happening we have been a customer for 42 years but i am seriously thinking of changing.

Money matters in January.

I received a statement saying I was 3200 in credit.
I worked with something unfortunately called BOT !!!
Eventually your agent typed in and we arranged a payment of 100 monthly . Excellent Within a week I had another missive from BG they had taken the hundred and my balance was now 1600ish . great subtraction I reckoned . So another go with a BOT . Your agent tried to assure me the sums were right and after a long negotiation I gave in and accepted the figures. Today , another missive thanking me for being good , and saying the 100 i am paying will add up to 1000 in 12 months !!!. . who is right.

Never buy a Worcester Bosch boiler from British Gas. Mine is 4 years old and ever winter I have them out at least 5 times. 23-24 I had them out 25 times. They have been out twice in 2 weeks and again the boiler has stopped working tonight. I made a complaint to Offgen and they upheld British Gas as they said they came out to me within 72 hours.
I am beyond frustrated with their service and products. Use any other company and not British Gas
