Reviews
Selectra score: ★★★
As Manx Gas only supplies LPG and natural gas on the Isle of Man, there aren’t a huge array of reviews online. Customers leaving reviews on Facebook have given the provider a 2.1 star rating online.
Customers who left more positive reviews tend to cite a positive experience with Manx Gas customer service and overall professionalism. Jennifer shared her positive experience with the energy provider and would highly recommend them to other customers. In her review she shared that:
We lost our gas supply tonight... Phoned the emergency help line and within half an [hour] someone was with us... They were all brilliant and we now have heat and hot water. Highly recommend Manx gas - Jennifer
Customers who left negative reviews about the supplier list various different issues including a slow response time when their gas was shut off and difficulty contacting the provider in the first place. Take Brett for example, who shared his experience of trying to contact the provider:
Why does it take 3 calls to order mini-bulk gas? Why do I have to chase you every single time an order is placed, surely one request should be enough for delivery within 5 working days, normally completed within 3 days? - Brett
