Following on from a previous review I have came to the conclusion that monkeys at Edinburgh Zoo would perform better with general complaints than the personal they have working for BG 5 times I hs e informed they they have the wrong name and wrong account details yet still send out the automated response with s change of date. They do not read letters or bust ignore the basic facts.Bigger is not always better I would renationalise this company as the care very little of the customer. Apologies to the monkeys at Edinburgh Zoo for the remakes they are far more intelligent.

We had a leak inside our Boiler which was first noticed on a Sunday. It is very difficult to contact anyone on a Sunday unless it is a Gas Emergency. However, I did manage to book a Appointment using the Online Booking System for two and a half weeks later! The following Wednesday we noticed the leak was getting worse so I tried the 'Live chat' function and spoke with Prathamesh. He arranged for an Engineer to visit at 8pm that night, the relevant part was ordered and the Engineer came back at 10.30 the following morning and the leak was fixed. Think I was very lucky reading the reviews on here.

British gas ripped me off big style. I ended up paying for gas I hadn't used. They tried to make out I moved to my new property in August 2020. The tenancy began on 30th November 2020 and I moved in 7th December 2020. They are an absolute complete rip off. Not interested in the Customer. They are only interested in what they can get from ripping off their Customers. Terrible customer service experience.

You obviously couldn’t care less about your customer service. Do you even bother to read these reviews? If you end up going bust it will be your own fault - I just pity your employees who will pay the price. I need to make contact because of misinformation you hold about our homecare but it’s nigh on impossible - how could think elderly or people who aren’t computer savvy get on ?

My 97 year old mum noticed water on her bathroom floor. A neighbour identified source of leak but could only stem it. Mum had Homecare through BG and from time of call an engineer was there in less than two hours. Excellent service- well done BG

The new app is not good. It's taking too long for things being transferred from The old system. I know full well these is an amount missing from my balance. You can't get through so you have to chat. I think they should go back too the old system. Much better.

Having been with British Gas Homecare for many years and have seen a decline in service on all areas - boiler service, drainage and small electrical items. So much so that we removed small appliance repairs from our contract as very disappointed with the service received. We opted to have a new boiler fitted from British Gas with services included in the contract, unfortunately since being fitted November 2019 they have cancelled the scheduled appointment - very poor and not what we signed up for. Drainage is a dreadful service- had an issue with our downstairs toilet- appointment made no show, rescheduled and engineer turned up but didn’t have the correct part even though I had sent photos and details of the toilet make. Next appointment showed up still not correct flusher finally after making a complaint turned up at scheduled time with correct part. This resulted in me having to take 4 1/2 day holidays. Absolutely appalling service. I cannot recommend the platinum service cover from British Gas due to their poor service and customer care

Have had problems with my new boiler since installation 4 years ago. No one seemed to solve it. Then Tommy, an engineer for gas board for 20 years arrived. He spent hours and finally found the fault and changed a pipe and sensor, which had been the problem since installation. He was helpful, knowledgeable and caring. 4 years to solve ! Thank you to him, gas board need to rethink their system and go back to how they were.

Complained about computer issued electric bill sent to my 94 year old mum ; notified of need to increase monthly D/D although currently £80= credit. She only pays £10 /month but Scottish gas want £13=! How's that for customer care ?

British gas are the worst energy providers ever... If you can escape their greedy tariffs and idiotic call centres then go to "pure planet" for your energy needs.. So much better and almost 50% cheaper than threse parrasites..
