Great service

I was very impressed with the two engineers. They were on time and were very efficient. They made sure the house was left clean and tidy. They were both very polite and friendly

Impressive Service....

I needed a brand new boiler to replace a system 40 years old.

The sales team were straightforward and honest, explaining all our options, pricing was very clear.

Within 1 week we had a brand new water tank and boiler system with the minimum of disruption.

The engineer was very good

The engineer was very good. It would be good if customer services knew that bleeding the radiator and venting the radiator is the same thing. It took me 3 long conversations with customer services prior to the appointment trying to explain to them that I wanted the radiator bled (vented) take out excess water from the radiator, None of them seemed to know it was part of the boiler service. It was the engineer who told me it is called venting and it is part of the service. One person said it could cost between £100 and £200 because it depended on the length of the time the job took. The job to vent the radiator took less than 5 mins to do radiators. The strange thing was I was kept on hold for a while for all of them to check the information they were providing me. Who they were checking with I do not know

I have been a costumer of British gas…

I have been a costumer of British gas for many years. There have always helped me with any enquiries I have had. I have the full Home Care package and would fully recommend this . I have recently enquired about a new boiler. Everything was explained to me by Lee. He was very knowledgeable and i did not feel pressured at all. Brilliant service all round.

You dont answer emails High stress levels.

You dont answer emails. You just say "thank you for your email someone will contact you shortly" No reply after 1month. Try to phone you. No phone number. Company's customer service is non existant. Unless you want to deal with a load of stress
. don't go with this company.

Smart meter fiasco.

I had new smart meters installed in May 2026. Since then my Electricity meter has not been sending readings. My bills are showing estimated readings. Complaint raise with BG and assured it would be fixed (June 2026). Now in September 2026 and still not fixed. New level of incompetence for British Gas. Been a customer for over 40 years. Will be moving supplier at first opportunity.

I left a review on 4th September

I left a review on 4th September. The response from BG was ABSOLUTELY REPULSIVE. I did as was requested by "Shaz" as an answer to my review. I rang 0330 808 3880 at 0905 on 5th Sept. I was on the phone 45 minutes as I had a Hospital appointment.
I had to repeat everything 4 - 5 times, the so called rep was so "UNINTERESTED, UNHELPFUL and as I explained I had an appointment I asked for a "CUSTOMER COMPLAINT Ref No. 7 times and he REFUSED.
This seems the norm for BG as they were fined 70 Million in May for all that I'm "COMPLAINING ABOUT". 45 minutes wasted by a "VERY UNHELPFUL" person. AsI cant get a Ref No. I will be UNABLE to COMPLAIN to the "ENERGY OMBUDSMAN" BG is so CORRUPT and treats CUSTOMERS as a PIGGY BANK
