Google Assistant & British Gas Will Try To Fix Your Boiler
by Shaun Preece
British Gas have developed a new action for the Google Assistant that will
try and help you fix some of the more common boiler problems you may
encounter. British Gas say that they receive 1.3 million call-outs over
winter for boiler repairs and hope that some of these may be resolved using
this new feature, rather than have people wait for an engineer.
The new action called Boiler Support was designed by British Gas engineers,
and will walk users through the steps needed to resolve the most frequent
non-technical boiler issues. Obviously, safety is a major concern, but
British Gas say that most problems can be fixed without the need for an
engineer and will save people time and money.
You can use any Google Assistant device such as a Google Nest Mini, Google
Hub or Android phone to access Boiler Support. Simply say "OK Google, Talk
to Boiler Support" and follow the instructions. It is open to everyone. You
don't have to be a British Gas customer to use it.
Although this announcement isn't really aimed at the visually impaired
specifically, it is yet another indicator that smart speakers and voice
assistants are being used more and more to not only make information easily
available in spoken form but also make services more accessible to everyone.

Good luck. Be interested in what people find when they try it. I bet there
will be one for the A lady soon then.

I don't have a boiler...
