I have not had any problems since I have been with OVO and when I have had concerns about my meter readings and contacted you it has been nice to actually speak to a person and that person has always been very friendly and helpful.
They work for you.

Good Customer Service
I had cause to get in touch with OVO customer service to explain that my smart energy monitor has developed a fault, I have nothing bad to say as they went out of there way to try and fix it via a link sent to the monitor, sadly to it didn’t correct it but have been assured that monitor will be replaced
A job well done and a very helpful technician
Your technician arrived promptly having phoned the evening before to confirm arrival time. He carried out the work quickly and efficiently. He gave clear instructions on the new meters. There were some electricity supply problems after he left which subsequently turned out to be unrelated to the meter installations. He expressed real concern when phoned and offered to return the following day to check on his own work. During that second visit he helped identify the internal wiring problem which was simply rectified soon after he left. He showed a real professional interest in us and our problem and we commend his supportive action. Please thank him again for his help.

Issues with electric meter contacted customer services and got a good response, the customer service person help me out and sorted my problems with the meter where I’m getting the electric meter and the gas meter replaced with new smart meters.

Always friendly and often helpful advice. Foolish to change supplier at this point in the troubled market.

Good service. Competitive tariffs. Hassle free.

Email communication and excellent app provides clarity for us as customers. This contrasts to the appalling experience of failure to action urgent miss-billing issues I have experienced regarding my energy account opened with SSE for my sons flat. Their Customer Service has been VERY poor; a catalogue of inaction /follow-up re. wrongly linking my name to outstanding bills for a previous occupant of the same property. I am talking about SIX months (and MANY hours of hanging on the phone) and still no resolve! I mention this as SSE are now under the umbrella of the OVO “family”. The contrast of service between the two companies is an ocean wide. Please take note
Smart meter install
The engineer was polite and courteous was running a little late due to traffic, connected two new meters, was neat and tidy. great job
Terms & Conditions
1 100% of the renewable electricity we sell is backed by renewable certificates (Renewable Energy Guarantee of Origin certificates (REGOs)). See here for details on Renewable Energy Guarantee of Origin certificates and how these work.
2 Each year, OVO plants 1 tree for every member in partnership with the Woodland Trust. Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, so tree-planting helps to slow down climate change.
4 By providing 100% carbon neutral gas (15% green gas and 85% offset) and offsetting all associated lifecycle carbon emissions involved in the production and consumption of your energy, OVO Beyond reduces your yearly carbon emissions from the energy used in your home to net zero.

See here for more information on how we restore nature and protect rainforests with our offsetting programmes.
OVO plants 5 trees for every OVO Beyond member through our award-winning I Dig Trees programme with The Conservation Volunteers. Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, so tree-planting helps to slow down climate change. Since 2015 we have planted over 1 million trees.
