Engineer Visit for New Smart Meters

An engineer came to fit new smart meters, as our old ones were the 2G versions. He was friendly, professional and explained everything to do with the meters and smart meter display clearly. Kept us informed of his progress, ie how long the electric would be off for etc. Very happy with the service from British Gas.
