Central Heating Check up.

I was given an estimated time of arrival by the engineer before he came. This is reassuring and helpful. He carried out the annual central heating check very professionally and was pleasant and courteous at all times.

A friendly Engineer who was a very tidy worker and did a very neat job with installation of our new E V charger. In fact the whole process was handled, start to finish, in a most efficient and professional manner by British Gas staff.

Excellent service from BG HomeCare

Excellent service from British Gas Home Care. Easy to book a slot. Clear communication of expected arrival time. The engineer Joe was professional and ensured I fully understood the work required. He is a tidy worker, minimising disruption and tidying up afterwards. Outstanding service.

I'm very sorry to hear about the cancellation of your smart meter appointment at such short notice, especially after you had waited in for it. I understand how frustrating it must be to then face a long wait for a new appointment. We’d appreciate the opportunity to investigate this further Pete.

Waited in all day for a smart meter to be installed, appointment was between 10 and 2 and was told that the engineer would contact me when he was on his way.
Never heard from anyone but recieved an e mail about 1.30 to say that my appointment was now between 1 and 5.
You quessed it, no one turned up or contacted me, a whole day wasted, great service British Gas.
