Hi Andrew,

I'm really sorry to hear how difficult this has been for you. Having to contact us repeatedly about large-print bills, account name changes, and top-up payments not showing would be incredibly frustrating, and I can understand why you're so disappointed.

This isn't the experience we want any of our customers to have, especially after you've spent so much time trying to get these issues resolved. We'd like to take a closer look and see what we can do to help.

Please reach out to us on our social media platforms — Facebook via https://m.me/britishgas, X (formerly Twitter), LinkedIn, or Instagram. Just mention Trustpilot and a brief summary of the issues that are still ongoing, and we'll do our best to investigate further.

Beware of calls from British gas…

Beware of calls from British gas regarding "your meters Have to be changed dialog" forcing you to agree to having them changed. Only when you get the confirmation it then states Smart meter.This was discussed at The time with the agent who said this was not a smart Meter install. Just replacing the older meters. I do not like being scammed by anyone especially a company I have been with for over 45 years and I am quite satisfied with the way I pay my bills.If British gas do not want to loose customers I suggest they do not try to scam them into agreeing for services or products they neither want or need.UPDATE British gas replied and want me to talk about my experience with the problem, on social media platforms listed as I do not use any of theses maybe they can read this review and understand how their company needs regulation over calls to existing customers insisting on installing products I can chose myself on the website if, and when I want to, and not forced into by a marketing ploy to get everyone on smart meters, which I thought was a choice on your company web app.

Hi Mr Goodwin,

I'm sorry to hear about your experience. I can understand why you'd feel frustrated if you were told the appointment was simply to replace your existing meters, only to later find out it was booked as a smart meter installation.

We'd never want our customers to feel pressured into something they don't want, and it's disappointing to hear you've been left feeling this way after being with us for over 45 years.

I'd like us to take a closer look at what happened, please reach out to us on our social media platforms — Facebook via https://m.me/britishgas, X (formerly Twitter), LinkedIn, or Instagram.

New Gas Boiler

I was worried about having a new boiler but did not need to be. I had a survey done first by British Gas then went ahead with the installation. The work was completed in a day by a very competent guy who kept me infirmed about what he was doing. Very tidy worker and contacted me day after to check all ok. I would certainly recommend British Gas.

Thank you, Joyce, for taking the time to share your experience with us. We're delighted to hear that the boiler installation process went smoothly and helped put your mind at ease.

It's great to know that your engineer kept you informed throughout the installation, completed the work to a high standard, and left everything clean and tidy. We're also pleased that the follow-up call the next day provided further reassurance that everything was working as expected.

Your recommendation means a great deal to us 💙

The engineer was polite and knowledgeable, after looking at the boiler he reassured me that it was fixable. He said it needed a new fan and would check his van, if he didn’t have one he would reach out to other engineers in the area and get one.

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I'm pleased to hear that William was able to quickly identify the issue with your boiler and provide reassurance that it could be repaired.

It's great to know that he shared his plan clearly, checked for the required part and was prepared to go the extra mile to source it from other engineers if needed. Providing knowledgeable advice and giving customers confidence that their issue can be resolved is exactly the kind of service we aim to deliver.

Thank you for your kind comments about William and the support you received. I'll make sure your feedback is shared with the team.

Thanks, Asif.

Possibly the worst customer services…

Possibly the worst customer services team you can imagine. You never speak to UK based call handlers, abroad based call handlers have no empowerment to resolve issues, expect unreasonable waits to get issues resolved. Still waiting after 10 days for a call back. Calling them means I get stuck in the abroad customer services loop with no resolution. Shocking.

I really look forward to the automated response for this review the same as all your negative reviews on here asking me to reach out to you, again, rather than using the account number I have supplied and you trying some proactive customer care.

Hello Andrew,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I'm sorry to hear that you've been left feeling disappointed by the support you've received.

I appreciate how frustrating it must be when you're trying to get an issue resolved and feel that progress isn't being made, particularly when you're waiting for a callback that hasn't arrived. I also understand your concerns about having to make repeated contact without receiving the outcome you're looking for.

I'd like the opportunity to have this reviewed further. Please send us a private message on Facebook, Instagram or LinkedIn with #Trustpilot and a brief summary of your review. My team can then look into what's happened and see how we can help.

Still waiting for a refund for over payments! Now they have sent an email stating that they are looking into issues with my smart meter, why? There is no problem! Could it be that I am actually using the correct amount of electricity now and they can't justify a direct debit of £244 per month? Hmm. .. watch this space

Hello Melanie,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I'm sorry to hear about your concerns regarding your refund and the communication you've received about your smart meter.

I can understand why this would be frustrating, particularly when you're still waiting for an overpayment refund and have then received correspondence about a potential smart meter issue that you weren't expecting. Having uncertainty around your account and payments is understandably concerning.

I'd like the opportunity to look into this further for you. Please send us a private message on Facebook, Instagram or LinkedIn with #Trustpilot and a brief summary of your review. My team can then review your account and the updates you've received to see how we can help.

Thanks, Asif.
