The engineer who serviced my boiler was extremely helpful and I would rate him as excellent. British Gas however need to seriously look at their AI customer service and app controls. I would rate them 8 out of 10 and only this high because of their engineer.

British Gas Service was a pleasure

British Gas were extremely prompt on appointment time and great with communication about when he was coming. Didn’t have to wait around with no information.
Very polite and friendly engineer.
Gave us some valuable advice and information about heating system, boiler and equipment.
Asked about and answered our queries and questions very knowledgeably and filling us with confidence about his servicing of the equipment.
A great experience.

Appalling service

I have had a homecare contract for many years and had to call for a repair for a leaky loo. I was advised £60 excess applies and I stated that I had always had a no excess policy. I am a state pensioner and £60 is a lot of money. Had to pay it because loo leaking even though this was referred to a manager TWICE and refused TWICE.
I was offered £30 compensation and had to accept this because they were not going to change their minds and that if I wanted a plan with no excess,as I previously had i would have to pay an additional premium.
Needless to say I will not be renewing.
I hope that my £60 adds to the already bulging Centrica pot.
Customer service from the manager was appalling.
