I’ve not used British Gas as a consumer of gas for over 15 years, they did mess up at one point where it looked like we’d been switched to British Gas without us signing a contract! Had one of their collectors at the door demanding over £1,000, I demanded to see a copy of the contract we signed and he sat in the car for 15 minutes making calls before leaving, never to return again.

I read a number of customer reviews on Trustpilot who complained of high quotes for fitting new combi boilers etc… British Gas are NOT cheap. Some customers say they went with British Gas for their trustworthiness and the quality of their plumbers/engineers (big brand = will be around for years), but others say there’s a chance British Gas will use a contractor who you could hire independently at a lower price.

From their website https://www.britishgas.co.uk/aem6/content/dam/britishgas/downloads/home-care/chargeable-work-terms-and-conditions.pdf it says “Who will do the work? Normally, we’ll send a British Gas Engineer to carry out the work. In some cases, we may send a suitably qualified contractor instead (including Dyno branded franchisees).”
