British Gas has been looking after Britain's homes and small businesses for over 200 years.
In 1815 when British Gas began, it was the world’s first utility company. Today, as well as supplying energy to millions of customers across the UK, it also offers a range of services to keep Britain’s homes running smoothly.
British Gas is focused on getting the UK to net zero by 2050 - helping customers reduce the carbon footprint of their homes through energy-efficient home improvements and investing in renewable energy.
