“Would give them zero if an option. Engineer came out and broke our Hob further, 2 months waiting while he tried new parts to replace it with no idea what he was doing, then I get an email saying I have to pay for 70% of the replacement when they broke it in the first place. Now complaint is up to 8 weeks before they reply, which would mean 4 months without a hob. Don’t waste your money or time they are awful awful awful.”

“Hard to get hold of during weekend emergency. Book an emergency for toilet problems as i have Home care 4 and they made appointment in one month time to attend my emergency. So i booked my personal tradesman and they refused to reimburse me. I also have boiler service included but appointment was delayed by a year so you finished your contract with them before they can do a service. So hopefully this serve as warning to others”

“I spent half an hour trying to work out how to book a smart meter appointment through your website and app; they just send me in circles. It is very poor design and incredibly frustrating, particularly as for personal reasons I don't prefer phonecalls.”

“I really can’t justify a 1* . It’s pure blackmail having to deal with this awful organisation . Their IT systems are incompetent , advisors pleasant but clueless , their contact totally obstructive ! As can be seen by their 1* review im not alone . Diabolically pathetically awfully BAD!!!”

“British Gas are a joke. One star is too many but I can’t write a review unless I give them one star. I’ve been trying all weekend to contact them as I received an email suggesting that I need to move from the fixed tariff I’m currently on as it could be more expensive than the the price capped tariff. I want to know if I will be charged an exit fee to change! Chat not available been trying all day, Sunday, 8.30am first try, message said advisors all busy, chat ended! Tried numerous times throughout the day and got same message all day! A couple of days ago I emailed the complaints email address, I received a reply saying that the email address is not monitored!! AVOID BRITISH GAS LIKE THE PLAGUE”

“Wow! British Gas are becoming such a joke, Been with em for some years with our Boiler cover..weve got an old Back boiler system.....we were told by the Gas engineer that this was not much less efficient than a new one..due to low water pressure where I live..so stuck with it. Had a problem over Covid period 20-21 Winter..No heating...they couldnt come out for two weeks....So much for emergency cover!. So I cancelled. Renewed the cover last year after my wife nagged about it (Had the repair done by an independant Gas safe) all fine. Their web site isnt working (hasnt been for a year), and when I finally booked a service over the phone..stress, stress, and they finally booked an appointment..Guy turned up and walked away..cant do the service..I wasnt told it was a Baxi LOL. "Someone will contact you".....after ringing AGAIN because they didnt contact me...."some one will contact you"...well that was 2 weeks ago..so phoned today....cant do it until 6th December....funny thats after they take another years renewal......as it should have been done before November. If you can avoid British Gas I can only recommend you do so.....I will wait until they have serviced the boiler...then cancel the direct debit and get an independent.......What a joke all these big organisations have become.”

“My meter broke on a Friday night at 5.30 rang nobody answered the phone so no gas or heating overnight fast-forward to Saturday since 0800 I've been answered twice given numbers to deadlines been hung up on once ,finally managed to get an engineer book between 10 and 2 didn't show now back to not been able to get through again so no gas for the weekend due to a busted meter .sad thing is I have to keep going round and round until they answer . I give British gas 1 start only because you don't have a minus box, they don't even resemble a 1-star company”

“So frustrating for a reliable honest customer that just wants to keep on top of their bills. British Gas took over nabuh which we were on our payment plan over £300 in credit. In the move our £300 has gone missing. We want to go back on pay as you go. Still not resolved. No direct debit set up. My husband has rang on numerous occasions and it’s still not resolved an they keep saying IF WE WERE IN CREDIT it’s not showing on our account. No we were in credit 100% so who has stolen our money. We are not big earners so this is very worrying for us. Such terrible terrible service and can’t wait to get it sorted so we can move suppliers”

“Absolute shambles. Terrible company to contact. Passed from pillar to post for over 4 weeks . Told a pack of lies. Can't change supplier because they have a block on my meters but they say they've got nothing on at their end . Disappointing”

The funniest part that they say they can't see my meter working but I can soo online and they say it's not connected tomthem . On the phone currently ...”
