“Absolutely awful in every way!! Tried to make a smart meter appointment online, unable to do so for over a month as it is just oops it has gone wrong!! Made one on the phone (after over 1 hour's wait) 2 weeks ago for today (10/10/22), but they did not turn up. Waited another hour on phone to be told I had no appointment and now they have none available! What a shambles of a company this is!!!”

“BG doess not have an email address for questions or complaints, they do but only to reply and say that they cannot identify your email address and you have contact them by phone Monday to Friday between 9-5 which is impossible for people working during those hours or on the chat where is always says “ the teams are busy at the moment” or you can write them a letter. Why does BG not have a complaints email address? They only have a postal address. It takes longer and cost more to send a letter for the customers and company as well, although I believe the company expenses are paid by the customers as well. This must be a very expensive service to run. Also, the letters can get lost. Would not using an email address be more effective, less costly and better controlled by the company as the emails should be automatically recorded?”

“I don’t know how I can give no stars!!!! If it wasn’t for them taking over my last provider I would never of chosen such incompetent liars!!! I have been given so much wrong and incorrect information is unreal!!! Couldn’t even speak to a manager as wasn’t allowed!!! Yes I did lose my temper in the end. But after 5 wks of lies and just nothing from them it offset my anxiety. Would not recommend to anyone!!! Don’t b fooled!!! I urge anyone to go to another company. But as things are at mo. I’m stuck!!!”

“They did set up a direct debit 9 months ago without acknowledging me and have been charging me for a property that I do not live in it. This is theft. How many people are being charged without knowing????”

“This company is purely working on profitising every working class and middle class British families. Explained my situation with them and their inept customer services team could only spell out the handbook to me. Charging business rates on domestic consumers and unhappy unwilling to engage in any legal explanation as to how this happened.”

“Awful experience with them. I moved over to a Smart Meter and because of how rubbish their app and IHD was, i had no idea how much electricity I was using at all. Their app has literally been faulty for about 18 months!! Their boiler cover was equally as bad.”
