“How anyone could work there is beyond me. What an awful way to conduct business. The online tools to chat to someone are ridiculous you just go round on circles. I am trying to help elderly who don’t have an online account and it’s soul destroying the way they don’t caret for this. They should be ashame!”

“Three years on since we moved into a new house; I have one case with the Ombudsman and another about to be lodged; British Gas seem to just ignore any escalation request by the Ombudsman; it leaves any consumer helpless. Avoid, avoid, avoid; I don't think they have a single employee that knows what they are doing (or perhaps they are still sitting at home watching Netflix three years after the pandemic????)”

“We had problems with our programmer, so I phoned British Gas. They sent Justin, who I thought was superb. Justin, not only fixed the programmer, he also programmed our Heating and Hot water to come on, at fixed times that I mentioned. Not only that, he cleverly explained the functions of each button on the programmer. He also asked if we had a carbon monoxide detector, and when we said 'no', he gave us one for which we'll pay when we get the invoice. British Gas, you're lucky to have someone like Justin working for you. Thanks a million, Justin. Ram Srinivasan”

“British Gas caused a gas leak by attempting to remove the incorrect meter at my property, when we realised what he was doing he bodged the gas pipe back on, we smelt gas days later and cadent come out, they had reused an old corroded washer! They continue to get our bills incorrect charging for a meter not in use 4 times they have missed appointments and not turned up no phone call or reasoning given. Once I have the outcome from the financial ombudsman we are leaving them”

“The have lost over £1,500 of the money which was in my account. Said they had sent cheque given 3 different dates. Had phone disconnected by agent when I called to try to recover this money as I cannot now pay future bills. My father who lives with me has brain damage part of this money is his and from a charity. Very worried now about paying my bill as BG have my money.”

“LIARS!! This company is beyond AWFUL. British Gas has to reimburse me for over £1000 and every time I call and hold for more than 45 mins, they tell me they sent me the cheque. The cheque has not arrived even after 2 months!!! I am so sick of this company! When it comes for them to collect the money, they take it with both hands! When it comes for them to reimburse money, they stall and look the other way! DON'T, JUST DON'T ever become a client to British Gas!! There a lots of other companies out there to chose and save you a lot of headache.”

“Totally unacceptable service since upgrade Can not see bill or any details on what tarriffs are available to switch. In educated service team which on line uses the same cut and past response and not addressing my questions. The after 40 minutes on line 3 Times asked to call a human being which is near on impossible as it keeps you waiting. Get a grip with technology and what the customer wants and please do quality control on your testing and releases as it’s obvious it’s below par”

“Worth service ever.. rude and unhelpful customer service. extremely unreliable and unhelpful. they don't send and confirmation emails or text for your booking. they don't report back of the work that has been carried out or update your account online. they make changes to your account without letting you know. the Enginner they sent to your property are very unhelpful and they come up with every single excuse not to carry out the work. do not waste your time and money with these people. stay away from this company and don't through your money away with them.”

“Terrible customer service from the British gas call centre in South Africa. I was double charged for my electricity bill and tried to resolve it with the call centre. I spoke to 6 different lady call handlers all were all very poor and rude and could not resolve a straight forward issue. Due to the terrible customer service I have now left BG!”
