Broken meter

Have not been able to submit readings for 5months switched provider and they sent calisen out to fit a new gas meter within 2 weeks of me being with them.

Ryan came fitted my meter and was very respectful. I know there are some painful thing with my house and one was him not being able to get the gas to speak to the sender with the electric.. however i have been submiting manually for over 9 years so it didnt phase me. Just having a working meter filled me with happiness after a stressful cold xmas and couple of months as a budgetted household. Thank you ryan and thank you calisen top tier

Meter reader man verbally rude

Meter reader man turned up unannounced, tried to pressure me into letting him in and was very rude when told it wasnt convenient to read our business smart meter. I requested that an appointment was prearranged in future. He was very agitated and sarcastic in response.

Would have given no stars had that been an option

Would have given no stars if that was possible. Having been badgered by my utility provider for a number of years to have a smart meter installed , I agreed and a date was set for 7 January. Late in the afternoon of 6th I received a call to say that "due to unforseen circumstances" they were unable to keep the appointment. It was rebooked for 18th February - no priority given for having cancelled. I received a number of reminders about the appointment the last one being on 17th February. Later in the day I recieved another email saying "Great news, your installation appoinement is booked for 10 April". I contacted my provider who conformed that the appointment had been cancelled. Following two lengthy conversations with the provider, they were unable to resolve the issue with Calisens. Calisens claimed to have attempted to call me and then left a text message, needless to say this was untrue. Phone working normally, no missed calls and no text message. No explanation as to why the appointment was cancelled and not able to attend for another 8 weeks. There is no priority for customers that have been let down & no consideration for people having to make arrangements to facilitate these random appointments. Like many reviewers on here, I am baffled as to why my provider is still dealing with them. The service is appalling

I can only respond on behalf of my 83…

I can only respond on behalf of my 83 year old Mum, a meter reader took a reading a few months ago he told her that the meter was outdated and would need replaced and he placed a call to another team and got my mum to verify her id and booked a replacement for this February, I advised her that it would be replaced with a SMART meter which she didn't want, as, in my opinion the meter reader was not qualified to make that technical comment, I subsequently cancelled the appointment on my Mum's behalf only to be asked why, told them my Mum does not want a SMART meter until it becomes mandatory. So is Scottish Power et al using this company to carry out meter readings and trying to ply customers to change to SMART meters? I think so.

Absolutely wasting you time waiting in for them!

Just had a very last minute cancellation by the engineer advising that they didnt have stock of what was required to change my meters to smart meters. I'm sorry but all they do is change peoples meters to smart meters so how can they not have stock on there van! They must have known how many jobs they had for the day so why didn't they message me in the morning. Then at least i wouldn't have wasted a day waiting in! Absolutely terrible service and total disregard to people's valuable time.

Another example of poor service from Calisen

After a call from Scottish Power asking me to book for an Electricity smart meter to get fitted I made an appointment on 17/12/25 for a meter to be installed between 10 and 2 on 07/01/2026. I’ve been waiting for a couple of years for this as so far Scottish Power have said they can’t install a smart meter at my address. Got texts and emails from Calisen confirming the appointment then today after clearing access and waiting at home, I got a call from them at 1pm to say engineer not coming and earliest reschedule they could offer is 28/01/26 - 3 weeks away. As soon as I agreed to the new date he hung up, no apology! Why are Scottish Power and other suppliers still using this incompetent supplier???? Having no smart meter is costing me a fortune as I am not able to get on an EV tariff until the meter is fitted. Will update in 3 weeks if they turn up then but from reading other reviews I think my pain is just beginning!!

Had smart meter installed all seemed…

Had smart meter installed all seemed well, however it turns out no readings being sent to my electricity provider and I cannot read the meter the low cost night rate has disappeared.
My electric company have raised the issue but no action other than a phone call asking me to take a reading.

Awful customer service

Awful customer service. We've had two meter readings cancelled after the allocated appointment on the day. This means waiting at home and rearranging my working day and fitness classes on both occasions. On an earlier occasion, they refused to turn up when we had arranged a concierge with access to the meter and also access to our flat. The engjneer was very rude on the phone despite the concierge already being in our flat.

Cancelled appointment 3 times

Refused to changed my gas meter to a smart meter twice over the past couple of years due to a small gap in the floor boards, they said if they touch it then the whole street would ‘blow up’. Had a gas engineer round to service boiler and fires and he said it’s an excuse as ‘meter maids’ can’t be assed with the job. My gas supplier constantly knocking asking me to upgrade to a smart meter, I reluctantly booked in with Calisen again 5th Jan 2025 8am-12 and took time off work unpaid. Got a call at 11:50, 10 minutes before appointment slot ends to say they were unable to make the appointment due to adverse weather conditions. I said they could have let me know sooner so I could have made it into work but apparently ‘the weather has just happened’. She gave me a date of the next available appointment I explained I was working and will not be taking time off again for these useless appointments. She was very passive aggressive and offered me a Saturday which I again couldnt do. Then she asked me my available dates which I gave which she couldnt make an appointment for. She then patronised me and said oh take it back to your supplier and get it rebooked with us

Pathetic

Appointment made for 22/12/25 on 19/11/25 between 12:00 & 16:00 hrs. I called to confirm appointment morning of 22/12/25 to someone who appeared to have just got out of bed. I called again at 13:30 hrs to ask what time engineer would arrive. I was told engineer had just arrived at job before me but I was next. Calisen called me at 15:40 hrs to cancel. I am furious as I have been unable to be productive today waiting for this pathetic Company!

Late cancellation of appointments

company employed by British Gas in my case to replace a smart meter that hasn’t worked for three years.
Three appointments made, time booked off from work only for appointments to be cancelled the afternoon of the day before as engineer will not be able to make the appointment.
New appointments made each time until the last when I said forget it as had to make new appointment there and then on cancellation phone call, said I was working and not convient to agree a new date and could I ring back? Was informed that this was not an option and would have to call British Gas for a new appointment.
Will continue to poke button on meter with a long stick to bring it into life, take a photo on phone then zoom in to get the reading and submit manually on the British Gas app.

Utterly inept

Why any provider would use these is baffling to me! Utterly incompetent, I don’t know whether they can do their job as getting them to actually attend scheduled appointments is impossible!

Can’t rely on them, don’t trust them.

This lot had us wait in only to cancel at the last minute.
We rebooked and they cancelled again without discussion.

If these cowboys are installing your smart meter..don’t build your hopes up.

Cancelled

Cancelled, no one showing up or even cancelling 30 mins before the slot ends in same day of booking. I have been in this process for 6 months now still with mo gas meter reading working. Continously cancelling, I don't this I will ever solve this, the worst part is that you can't hire anprivate person to carry on the work...
