Huge shoutout to Dave - absolutely great guy! He came to do a regular inspection, however he noticed that our boiler hadn't been serviced in a while, so he did an entire service instead! Honestl... See more
They’ve charged me for a different (more expensive) service than the one they were instructed for, with no explanation. Beware!
Senior Engineer Gary McGowan attended my property to carry out our annual boiler check. He was on time and called before he attended. He was polite and explained to us how to use the boiler and room s... See more

I will definitely use your company and I will ask for you again next time . You were a star ! 🙏😀 You are a credit to your company !
Gas inspection
Engineer Marcus Turner was very friendly and polite throughout. Gave us reassurance needed when completing gas inspection. Thorough job done. Well done gas-elec, you have yourself a professional ✅
Delighted with Gas-Elec and Senior Engineer Gary McGowan
We are very pleased with Gas-Elec's swift response to our need for a new boiler. Gary is a great guy - friendly, efficient and very clear in his explanations of how the new boiler functioned. His follow up call to make sure all was OK was much appreciated. From first to last Gary gave us every confidence in his his ability to deal with our need for a new boiler.
What a pleasure to have such a friendly caring Engineer to work in my home……
What a pleasure to have such a friendly caring Engineer to work in my house. Gary’s thoughtfulness/empathy is a very rare quality to find these days. I would have no reservations in recommending him and look forward to meeting him again when he has to return next year.
Complete rip off! Underhand business practices.
I felt completely ripped off after a recent gas safety inspection of a rental property I own. I was unaware there was a change in legislation which required carbon monoxide detectors.
Gas-Elec called me to say that carbon monoxide detectors were required and they could not issue a gas safety certificate without them. But they said there were £45 plus VAT each and I needed two of them. This seemed unreasonably expensive but I felt trapped because I would have to forfeit the £78 inspection fee if I didn't buy the CO detectors from them.
I told them to go ahead but was later shocked to discover that the Kidde K5CO they supplied were only £16.50 in Argos compared to £54.00 from Gas-Elec.
I doubt I'm going to use Gas-Elec again.

Cancelled/postponed TWICE
Had an engineer booked twice to carry out an EICR. First time postponed second time cancelled on the day! It's been a month now and we have to find another company that can help. Don't waste your time with them!
Sick of receiving SPAM emails from them
I keep receiving unsolicited marketing emails from Home Service Reports.
I emailed their privacy email address to ascertain where they obtained my details from. No response was received.
There is no obvious phone number on their website. Home Service Reports is part of the gas-elec Group - I have been on hold to them trying to sort this but no one answers the phone.
Useless. Stay well clear.

A pleasure to have our boiler serviced by such a nice person
Would highly recommend Gas Elec
Would highly recommend Gas Elec. Especially Donald, who made a stressful situation a quickly non-stressful experience. The quality of his work was top level and he was friendly and helpful to have working in my house. He was amazing! Thank you!
Excellent
Excellent, polite, fast working, efficient gas engineers carried out total refit of my old property with new boiler and radiators. Worked to a set schedule with high standards. Delighted with completed work.
Gas Elec Visit Apt 55
It was a good experience as Mike informed me about what the visit will entail at the start. He was able to identify issues on the Kitchen lamps that have persisted for 2.5 years and very kindly included this in the inspection report. It was a very pleasant experience. Thank you for all your efforts!

Gary McGowan was extremely professional and explained everything perfectly. He bought to light an issue with our boiler and he was a genuinely nice guy to have in the house, polite and trustworthy. He also pointed out other work which has not been done in the past which will now be done.

Extremely expensive
Extremely expensive, £75 per hour +VAT for an electrician. It would be cheaper to hire a NASA trained astronaut than this company to do any work. Look around and avoid if you can.
After my previous review Gas-Elec were…
After my previous review Gas-Elec were in contact straight away to rectify the situation. They could not have been more helpful and understanding and sent another engineer out immediately. He was very thorough and explained what he was doing, and the outcomes. This has restored my faith in that there are decent companies around, and that some of them read the reviews and act upon them.
