Hassle free…

For the moment we decided to switch it's been hassle free
New meters and smart meters were fitted promptly by a polite man at a convenient time
Not had to contact customer service yet so can't comment on that

First class service from British Gas

Had a call from British Gas offering me a free boiler service. Engineer Liam, phoned me to let me know what time he would be arriving, and he was on tume. Came out and serviced my boiler, then told me I could have free radiators if I wanted them. I only needed 2 radiators, my others are fairly new. So I got a boiler service, 2 new radiators, a hive monitor, a carbon monoxide monitor and new pump etc where my boiler is, all for free. Liam was friendly and professional, did all the work with no mess left behind at all. Very grateful to B.G for doing this for me and Liam is a credit to the company.

Poor service and unanswered complaint

We have been waiting for two months for British Gas to set up our account properly and believe our meter readings. We have had a complaint opened for a month, with the odd email saying nothing is done carry on waiting. We have sent all the required information to them with no response apart from carry on waiting. It is due to the back office apparently and they seem to do nothing. We have asked 3 times for an engineer to be sent out to sort any issue but British Gas have refused this. At one point they refused to give us the money back we have paid, and refused to let us leave. They are apparently prosessing the refund now, but we still do not know if they will let us leave.

Hi, I'm sorry to hear that your account is taking so long to set up. If there is a dispute with the starting read, this would require communication with the previous supplier via the industry and these can take time to respond. If you need further help please contact us on one of our Social Media channels. We're available by DM/PM on Facebook, X, Instagram, or LinkedIn. Please include your name, full address and email address. If you could include #Trustpilot in your message to ensure it comes through to the right team, thank you Kev

I have British Gas boiler and heating cover and would recommend it. The boiler is serviced annually and heating checked, all repairs and parts are covered so that gives me piece of mind.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY

I was quoted a monthly fee of £89. After 3 months I received a bill of £1100 and I had been away for 3 weeks during that time. I called them to query it and the only help they would offer was to set up a payment plan. In April I received notification that my direct debit was going up to £290 per month. I had solar panels installed prior to this and they insisted that this would not make a difference. In May I called them and asked for final figures. I told them that at the end of the call I wanted no money due to them anymore. They still had the audacity to take 3 more direct debits from my account after that. When I called to query again I was left with no satisfactory answer and just had to loose that money. The stress and time involved was disappointing service from them. DO NOT CHANGE TO THIS COMPANY.
