If I could score zero stars I would

If I could score zero stars I would! This company is a disgrace. I have battled for 18 months to get my smart meter working. I have had a catalogue of complaints and the latest outstanding since May is now promising an engineer to fix the problem. I am all electric and totally reliant on my smart meter to budget. DO NOT use this company it's shambolic!

Fantastic service from start to finish

Fantastic service from start to finish. The engineers contacted when they set off with an estimated time of arrival. Both friendly, helpful and made the whole process easy. They helped my not very technical partner with set up for the app. Explained everything and supported. Great all round service from start to finish. Highly recommended.

I booked my annual boiler service early in August.

I booked my annual boiler service early in August and unfortunately had to cancel. I made a further appointment with no problem and the engineer called today. He was efficient polite and helpful and even helped me with a stiff bed lever. He also explained that there was no ventilation to the meters but it couldn’t be fixed.

Boiler service

The engineer turned up when he said he would unlike the last one who didn’t bother after I had waited in all afternoon for him to change my meters. He was friendly, knowledgeable and left the area spotless where he had been working doing a boiler service. John is a credit to BG.
