"British Gas advisers have been caught misleading customers with false promises
about green energy in an investigation by
openDemocracy.
‘Heating sales advisers’ for the company were recorded claiming that hydrogen
fuel will be rolled out across the UK and that boilers sold now are capable of
burning hydrogen instead of gas – neither of which is yet established.
One adviser also told us that hydrogen would cut energy bills, which is untrue.
And they gave misleading advice about heat pumps – including falsely claiming
that they are unsuitable for four-bedroom homes.
The advisers’ claims led one expert to suggest that British Gas advisers are
prioritising targets for boiler sales over giving accurate information on heat
pumps, which can provide a more environmentally friendly way to heat homes by
running on electricity and concentrating heat from outside for use indoors."
