Excellent service from British Gas

Excellent service from British Gas from fitting the boiler to annual inspections. The engineers are helpful, knowledgeable & efficient. I took out boiler & heating cover when the warranty ended which includes annual servicing which is well worth the money for the peace of mind it gives me knowing that my boiler is safe & working efficiently. All in all I would highly recommend British Gas.

By far the worst customer service I've ever experienced, the level of incompetence demonstrated, in fixing a simple error they had made was beyond a joke, the customer service agents at best, didn't know what they were doing, and at worst were rude and argumentative, an issue that should have been resolved in minutes, took over a month!!, the situation whereby they had billed me for around 26 times my actual usage, could have been extremely worrying and stressful, for an elderly or vulnerable person, was so relieved to get away from them, and the contrast in the customer service at the new supplier couldn't be more stark!, avoid at all costs!!

Reply from British Gas

I am truly sorry to hear about the exceptionally poor experience you've had with our customer service. It's clear we fell far short of expectations in resolving your billing issue, and I understand how incredibly frustrating and stressful this must have been, especially given the significant overcharge. We want to make this right for you. Please send us a private message on Facebook, X, LinkedIn, or Instagram with #Trustpilot and a brief overview of your review, and we’ll take a closer look.

If you'd like to discuss this further, please send a PM on Facebook using https://m.me/britishgas & include #Trustpilot, include your full name, address & DoB. One of my colleagues will get back to you. If you don't have access to do this, you can use the webchat option via the website or app. Thanks, Sukhi

Eriq was very polite and well informed about Smart Meters and arranging for us to have one fitted in August. He explained what we needed to do and asked if there was anything else we needed to know. When I didn't understand he took the time to explain it. As OAPs we appreciate people taking time with us. Thank you again Eriq.
