Hot water boiler leaking.

Due to the hot water boiler starting to leak water had to call out British Gas homecare. Called at 09.30am, given appointment that afternoon, Peter the engineer arrived at the time stated and fixed the water leak / boiler, all within 5 hours of the fault being detected.
Excellent service, thank you.

This is 2nd time now British Gas have let me down. Yet again i have booked a day off work for smart meter upgrade, reassured that this time they would definately turn up between 1 and 5 and yet again nobody has been. Im fuming! Then after making a complaint i get an email saying they had to cancel my appointment as couldnt get in touch with me. Rubbish! Ive waited in all day and kept my phone with me all day so yet again more lies.

Great service but expensive additional

British Gas provides great service and its very well organised. Easy to book their annual service and they follow it up with reminders which is very helpful. The annual service charge is reasonable too. The reason for not giving 5 stars is the cost of anything additional is too high. Today I got them to install Hydroflow which cost me c£235. I think that's too expensive. The other reason for not giving 5 stars is that each engineer that comes to service the boiler will have a new advise and that's confusing. Hope they were consistent.

The engineers are all excellent

The engineers are all excellent, the problem is with the call centres. They do not have a good enough command of the English language to understand your problem. For the elderly and disabled it is very frustrating and quite upsetting. Older people cannot cope with technology. They don't want to chat with a robot they need to speak to a person. British Gas have a priority list for the elderly and disabled, but this means nothing. They need a dedicated phone number for disabled/elderly that puts them directly to a person.

Excellent service from start to finish. The engineers Darren and Aiden went above and beyond to fix our electric problem and we couldn't thank them enough. Highly recommended and more importantly, no more cold showers.
