Terrible staff completely incompetent…

Terrible staff completely incompetent can't set up new accounts and leave people with no heating..i signed up as a new tenant and was assured by your agent that the gas meter would reset automatically. It did not. It is an older card meter holding €170.00 of debt from the previous tenant. I have rang multiple times and keep getting fobbed off by call agents..I work 9-6 and can't get through to customer care at lunch .when I finally got through they said I've been standing by the meter to put in code..i need the code emailed to me . I want the call on the 20th June listenes to..i was never told I had to send a tenancy agreement in to prove new tenancy and I was told meter would automatically reset! .I lodged a formal complaint on August 28th. Because your staff gave me wrong information and I am being left without heating due to a third-party debt, I need an urgent back-office manager to generate a manual debt clearance code for my meter today. If this is not resolved, I will escalate this straight to the CRU. I can't top up for winter and my own debt since 20th June is building up leaving me stuck for winter..needs to be sorted asap

I am a long term customer of Bord Gais and I don't think of leaving for another provider. Customer service and feeling valued as a customer is important to me and I feel both of these through the DNA of Bord Gais.
I regularly view the online portal where I am very easily able to see my gas and electricity usage and get options to be more efficient.
I am also a big fan of the Bord Gais rewards scheme which always has get opportunities for customers to win what are great prizes.

Terrible customer experience

Initiated process to install solar panels. Paid the deposit, agreed on the installation date. Received the link to make the full payment on the 12 August. On the next day, 13 August, I recieve an email stating that, due to unspecified "safety reasons" the installation is cancelled and to provide my IBAN to receive deposit back. Sounds suspicious given that a neighbour with same house has done the installation with no problem, that one of their experts came to make the assessment, did they send a request for payment in full BEFORE making an actual assessment of feasibility? Obviously there are some other commercial or organisational reasons behind. Trying to call the customer service with no success in 2 weeks. What's going on?

Best service out there

Ease of making appointment, whereby the engineer gave me a half hour courtesy call in advance. The engineer was the most thorough engineer I've ever had servicing my boiler, which I have had serviced by others before. At the end he also went through the service contract perks with me - the covered parts, call out options.
