Excellent service.

The engineer was very pleasant , professional and efficient. He explained the work he’d be doing and, when it was carried out, he then made sensible recommendations to keep our boiler running efficiently. Excellent service.

British Gas refuse to correct inaccurate customer info.

Joined British Gas and confirmed all of the account details on setup. Received a bill with incorrect name spelling. I have informed them over the phone that the account is wrong, but they don't really care! British Gas are refusing to correct THEIR mistake unless I upload ID. I am not able to do this as I don"t have a scanner or way of taking digital photo. I don't see why I should have to go to all the effort to correct THEIR mistakes. It just seems wrong and complete waste of time. It shows how incompetent British Gas are.

Reliable in summer

I don’t have much to say. Thank you. My boiler has a very long floe pipe. It freezes every winter when temps below 0. British Gas has not made any effort to do something about it and we end up freezing. They have no time when the demand is high to cope. This boiler was installed by BG. This freezing and shutting of the boiler is a big nuisance.

Usman was a very professional nothing to much trouble explained everything and cleaned up afterwards.Usman is a real character with a good sense of humour we really warmed to him.
British Gas give that man a pay rise he goes above and beyond.

A service you expect

The engineer, Jack, was very polite, courteous and professional, explaining about the system and what he was doing. First class service which has confirmed why I pay for this.

The live chat was not great

The live chat was not great, the person did not take the correct information even though I wrote it out three times. But the engineer made up for it all, he was great, friendly and got the work done. He went out his way to make sure it was all done on the day even though it was a little after the time slot. He could have cancelled it but he didnt want to as we had been waiting all day. Live chat star rate 1.. engineer star rate 5

I love the flexibility BG offer

I love the flexibility BG offer. Have already switched to a cheaper plan since joining them. The app is easy to use and customer offers good. The boiler service is a bargain. Switched from another very popular supplier and have not regretted it.
