Thoroughly recommend British Gas

The Engineer informed us of when he would be arriving at our address.
He was very professional, polite and explained what work he had carried out on our boiler. He tested the heating by switching on the radiators and checked they all worked for us.

British Gas supply electricity to MBR Acres - a company that breed 2000 beagle puppies each year for the animal testing industry. These dogs will be forced to breath chemicals through masks or have chemicals pumped in to their stomach through tubes put down their throat. I am absolutely horrified that British Gas would work for MBR Acres and clearly have no ethics or humanity

On going problem with British Gas

On going problem with British Gas. Smart meter fitted about 5 months ago ( still not working) after phoning British Gas on many occasions they finally turn up and fitted another smart meter, both electric and gas meters apparently working ok for British Gas but my monitor not showing any monetary display and never has. When I phoned British Gas they said and I quote “ Don’t worry sir we can see exactly how much your using, but the whole point of having a smart meter is so customers see how much it’s costing, ( like they show in their tv commercials. They seem reluctant or unable to fix this problem

Excellent customer service.

Having had difficulty progressing a good fixed fuel tariff online, I eventually spoke to someone in BG customer service. This person was most pleasant, helpful and knowledgeable and arranged the most appropriate deal very quickly without any problem. The customer service was excellent.

EV charger fitting

Regarding British Gas/ Hive EV charger fitting:

We had Don from British Gas fit our EV charger today and we are more than pleased. His work is excellent and he showed every consideration for our property, taking his shoes off for the carpets, using floor protectors and cleaning up after himself. Our EV charger has been expertly placed with consideration. He spent a lot of time working and his high standards reflect the end result. British Gas should be proud having people like Don representing them. Thank you, we are so pleased with the end result.
