Why people look for a Domestic & General alternative
Domestic & General is a large national provider, but many homeowners start searching for alternatives after experiencing:
- Long waiting times for engineer visits
- Different contractors sent each time
- Unclear repair limits or exclusions
- Difficulty speaking to someone who understands the issue
Embassy Gas removes those frustrations by keeping everything local, simple and transparent.
