I have British Gas Homecare and it’s always been well worth it . When you have a problem you know you can get hold of someone to talk it through and they will send an engineer pretty quickly

British gas service engineer

British gas service engineer, did a really good job on servicing my boiler and sorted out my hive equipment, I've always had such good prompt dealings with them , I would highly recommend them. I pay monthly for a service plan, which includes a overall boiler service a year , as my boiler is quite new it gives me pease of mind

We are very happy with our boiler service from British Gas. The engineer sent us a text giving us a time that he would arrive. And he arrived on time. He was friendly and professional. He had serviced our boiler before. So it was nice to see a familiar face.

British Gas

A well known company you can trust. They have a range of great products and items that they supply and fit, look after and service rather than buying them yourself and getting someone to fit and the extra expense if things go wrong. The service I have just had I pay monthly for and you don’t even notice it going out of your account. Once a year my boiler is serviced and protected. The service men who come to your house are professional courteous and informative. I would recommend British Gas to everyone.

Very poor and inconsistent customer service.

I called British Gas on 5 August because I had moved home and needed my old address closed and my energy supply set up at the new address. The adviser clearly told me that everything had been completed — the old address was closed and the new address had been set up. I confirmed that I wanted to proceed, and I left the call believing everything was sorted.

Unfortunately, I later discovered that the new account had not actually been set up at all.

Today I had to call again. The first adviser kept me waiting for around 30 minutes while trying to deal with the issue, and eventually the call disconnected without anything being resolved.

I then called again and finally reached a very helpful woman who managed to sort the issue out in only a couple of minutes.

I am grateful to the final adviser, but the overall experience has been extremely frustrating. It should not take several calls, long waits and repeated explanations to complete a straightforward home move. British Gas really needs much more consistent customer service and better follow-through when advisers tell customers that something has been completed.

Great with deaf people

Very efficient engineer who was clean and well presented. I mentioned I was profoundly deaf but could lip read to an extent and he made sure to talk face to face with me and very clearly. A rare pleasure.
