Poor customer service from British Gas

At the beginning of July I requested a boiler repair through the British Gas Home Care service. On the first engineer visit I was advised that my boiler required a Power Flush at the cost of £925. I booked this job in unaware that British Gas had subcontracted this job to Dyno-Rod. There were issues between Dyn-Rod and British Gas with their booking system which meant that I was messed around with my appointments. The Power Flush job was not done properly and the engineer had to return, I had to chase for that to be done when he did not turn up. Dyno-Rod do not quality assure their jobs properly. I had to have EIGHT engineer visits in total to fix this boiler due to incompetence from British Gas. Parts were not ordered on visits, incorrect items were then received. This was a complete nightmare. I had to keep taking days off work to wait in for engineers. Even on the seventh visit the engineer told me the boiler was fixed but only the hot water was working so I had to call him back. He then arranged an eight visit to finish off the repair. Now British Gas have had the audacity to send me an invoice for £120. I am gob smacked. This story is too long to tell in detail. I have left several messages and sent emails to the person dealing with my complaint but haven't heard anything since I tried yesterday. This is the worst customer experience that I have ever received from such a large organisation.

Hi Cynthia, this is really disappointing to read. I'm so sorry about the catalogue of errors, with the number of appointments, lack of communication and mix up with parts. This falls very short of the level of service we aim for or that you should expect from us. If you'd like me and my team to check on your complaint, please contact us. You can do this by sending a private message via Facebook, X, LinkedIn, or Instagram. If you include #Trustpilot and a brief summary of your review, we will get back to you there. Thanks, Mel

I had a genuinely lovely experience…

I had a genuinely lovely experience with British Gas engineer Toby on 20 August. From the moment he arrived, he was extremely polite, friendly, professional and respectful. He took the time to listen carefully, explained everything clearly and patiently, and made sure I understood what he was doing. I really appreciated how considerate he was in my home and how efficiently and carefully he carried out his work. His warm personality and excellent customer service made what could have been a stressful situation feel easy and reassuring. Toby is a real credit to British Gas, and I would be very happy to recommend him. I truly believe his excellent service deserves to be recognised.

quote for a new boiler

Requested a quote for a new boiler. Advisor was delayed due to traffic but called to give a revised appointment time. Very thorough and gave us options rather than just one product. No pressure. Very customer centric. Good experience. We had already done some homework on the likely costs, and BG came out on the higher side, but based on our previous 30 years experience of their service, opted for BG.

Our £6000 Bristish Gas boiler…

Our £6000 Bristish Gas boiler instalation occurred yesterday. It has not worked since they left. We don't know that it ever worked. The engineers were there from 8 am until about 2 pm. We called them straight back to speak of an issue, to which they said we must call the home care insurance provider. So they installed the system on Friday and we cannot get help until Sunday. We have never seen it working, except that the display pannel lights are on.
So so so frustrated with Bristish Gas! Trying to get hold of them is a nightmare due to automated systems that repeat a repeat, taking your credit card details twice. Your bank details just get lost in the automated system. DO NOT ACCEPT WHATSAPP CHAT FROM THEIR AUTOMATED SERVICE!!!!
Don't get a boiler fitted on a Friday. We do not recommend Bristish Gas. £6000 and the thing was not working when they left early for the weekend.

Hello Andrew,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I'm very sorry to hear about your experience following the installation of your new boiler. I can understand how frustrating it must be to have a new system installed and then be left without the reassurance of seeing it working as expected, particularly over a weekend.

I appreciate you highlighting your concerns about the support you received after reporting the issue. This is clearly not the experience you were hoping for after such a significant investment.

I'd like to look into this further for you. Please send us a private message on Facebook, Instagram or LinkedIn, including #Trustpilot, and my team and I can take a closer look at what's happened and review the support you've received.

Thanks, Asif.

Second to none customer experience

I haven't had a quote back yet for works but based on the visit by their engineer to our new house I'm most certainly inspired with confidence to go with British Gas, the engineer was extremely courteous and polite and very knowledgeable, he wasn't trying to sell us everything under the sun and was honest about where we should prioritise the spend for the gas and heating works. As I say price not back yet but based on a customer experience a glowing testament to British Gas.
