Turned A Negative Situation Round

I recently had a serious issue with Calor Gas following an error that resulted in a scheduled delivery being cancelled while we were in the process of moving house. Despite making repeated contact and receiving several assurances that a delivery was imminent, no delivery took place and our tank eventually reached a critically low level.

Given that we were approaching completion of our house sale, the situation was particularly concerning, as we needed to provide an accurate fuel reading to our solicitors and had already assured the purchaser that there would be an adequate supply of gas remaining in the tank.

I therefore escalated the matter directly to Calor’s CEO, and I am pleased to say that the subsequent response was excellent. My complaint was passed to Louise, from the Customer Care Team, who took personal ownership of the issue, contacted me directly and ensured that the delivery was finally made. A substantial delivery was completed the following evening, bringing the tank back to a healthy level and resolving the immediate problem.

Importantly, Louise also provided the supporting delivery and telemetry information, confirmed the quantity of gas in the tank and calculated its value for our property transaction. She also undertook to feed back the process failures to the relevant team leaders so that lessons could be learned and similar issues avoided in future.

While the original failure was undoubtedly frustrating and caused considerable unnecessary concern, I believe it is equally important to recognise when a company responds positively to a complaint. In this case, once the matter was escalated, Calor demonstrated a clear willingness to take ownership, resolve the problem and provide the information we needed.

I would particularly like to thank Louise for her professional, helpful and personal approach. She turned what had been a very disappointing experience into a positive resolution and restored my confidence that Calor does take customer concerns seriously when they reach the right person.

Overall, I am pleased with the way my complaint was ultimately handled and would be happy to recommend Louise for the way she personally managed the resolution.

Calor Gas Instalation…

Mack Simms arrived very soon after my tank had been delivered to lay the piping down in readiness for a new boiler. A very nice young man who was very efficient, courteous and respectful. Did the job very well and cleared up everything afterwards.

Tank Exchange

Tank Exchange. The initial contact regarding my tank exchange was clear and precise explaining the necessary proceedures. This was followed up with a site inspection and again excellent communication.
The exchange went smoothly and importantly on time as there was access time constraints.
The operatives Lee Loynes and Lee B were exceptional, friendly and highly professional.
A well planned,timed and executed operation from the whole Calor team.

Huge Thank You

I just want to say a huge thank you to the team who supplies our park in Suffolk. We were recently closed due to the terrible Dunwich Heath fires - The Calor team came and took all the spare bottles etc away - I called yesterday to ask if we could have them back as we were allowed to reopen today (14th) The bottles were all back first thing this morning. This has been such a stressful time and your help throughout was fantastic - I hope the people who helped us will see this as it is the only way I have of thanking you.

Very bad practices

This company will not tell you that you are out of contact (like most upstanding companies). What they will do is put you on the highest tariff for as long as they can. Until you notice and contact them. Also told they can do standing orders! E minutes later they can but informed me I will receive threatening letters as they system doesn't recognise it. BE WARY

Reply to Calor. Total BS if you go on social media and look at calor complaints, you can see this happening to others.

I have never received a "card" telling me I was out of contact. Please Calor listen to my latest phone calls, your service told me they couldn't easily tell whose out of contract and they didn't tell you. So whose telling porkies? CALOR!!!

Hi,

In relation to your claim that Calor does not contact customers when their contracts are approaching expiry, I can confirm that this is not the case.

A Wake-Up card is sent to customers by post to notify them of their renewal price and provide an opportunity to renew their contract. If a customer does not respond to this correspondence, their account will move onto variable pricing. The variable rate can fluctuate and may either increase or decrease over time.

A customer's pricing is based on their rolling annual consumption and the tariff they are currently on, which is then configured by the pricing matrix.

Calor does not simply place customers onto the highest available pricing. Where a customer is paying a higher variable rate, this will generally be because their previous contract has expired and they have not subsequently renewed for quite some time.

In relation to your concerns about standing orders not being recognised, this is not a Calor policy but is instead a limitation of the SAP system used to manage customer accounts.

The SAP system is configured to receive full payments, either as a one-off payment or through a Variable Direct Debit, to clear an invoice. As invoices have a specified due date by which payment is required, a standing order that only makes a partial payment towards an invoice would leave an outstanding balance. The invoice would therefore become overdue, which can subsequently trigger the automated dunning process.

Customers who wish to spread the cost of their deliveries and tank rental charges over a longer period have the alternative option of a fixed monthly Direct Debit through a Budget Billing Plan (BBP). This is a credit agreement that allows the cost of these charges to be spread over a 12-month period through regular monthly payments.

If you have an issue that required looking into, I've requested your details so that I can investigate.

Full marks to them all!

Dave Heffron and Gary Roberts have just left, having replaced pipework to my LPG tank. They were the lowest-maintenance workers ever! A cuppa to start and nothing else. Because they didn’t need attention, I could easily get on with my jobs. The garden was tidier after they left than it had been before. They even put back my water butt. Full marks to them both.

A huge thank you is also due to Aoife Walker who co-ordinated the work with 100% efficiency and so promptly . It was clear that Aoife read emails carefully and responded 100% accordingly. I didn’t once have to ask twice for a gauge, nor to repeat comments. A* Aoife!

Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a wonderful review.

I'm delighted to hear that our team provided such efficient and professional service during the pipework replacement. It's great to know they were self-sufficient and left your garden tidier than they found it.

I'll ensure your kind comments are shared with the team and their management, who I'm sure will be delighted to receive your feedback.
