Bord Gáis Energy's Response to Covid-19

Here to Help - Covid-19 Update

The global spread of the Coronavirus (Covid-19) is affecting each and every one of us in how we live and work in Ireland today.  During this unprecedented and challenging time, we would like to assure our customers that we are still here and doing all we can to meet your individual needs.

Our greatest concern and priority right now is the health of our customers and employees. As an essential service, we are strictly following the advice of health authorities and many of our team have moved to flexible working. This is in order to accommodate the physical distancing that our response to this virus demands.

However, like many businesses, this decision has affected our capacity to deliver, but we are doing everything we can to maintain the best possible service for our customers. For those who need to get in touch with us, the following options are available to you:

Boiler Breakdowns

Our Boiler Care Team is available from 8 June to carry out boiler services or repair work with newly implemented safe working practices to protect our customers and employees.

We are currently contacting all customers who had boiler service appointments cancelled due to restrictions of Covid-19. If you have not been contacted, please call 01 6110101 and we can schedule you a boiler service appointment for the next available date.

We'll have some screening questions for you to answer before an engineer can attend your home.

As from 8 June, all Local Heroes services have been resumed. Please visit www.localheroes.ie to find out more.
