Pay As You GoMeters and In-Home Displays (IHDs)FAQs

Switching to a smart meter

You might be able to switch to a smart meter – just get in touch and we’ll check this for you. Here’s why that’s a good idea:

  • Top up anytime and anywhere with the OVO Energy Top-up app – or at shops (using a payment card or a barcode in the app).

  • You can add £5 to £200 credit, track all your top-ups, and store bank cards to make things quicker.

  • You’ll get a new smart meter installed for free.

  • Smart meters help you save energy. By allowing you to track your energy use, they encourage you to make small changes to use less energy – cutting bills and carbon emissions too.

  • You’ll get an In-Home Display to easily understand your smart meter.

Call the OVO Energy Team on 0330 175 9669 to get your smart meter installation booked in.
