How our complaint process works

Stage 1: Looking into your complaint

When you first contact us, we’ll ask for:

  • Your name and address 
  • The best way to contact you 
  • Details of your complaint 
  • What you’d like the outcome to be

We’ll investigate what’s gone wrong, and work to put things right. We’ll explain what’s happened and offer a resolution. If you’re happy with our suggestion, we’ll do everything that’s been agreed then close your complaint. 

We aim to resolve complaints the same day we get them, but some complaints might need more investigation.

Stage 2: Escalating your complaint

We’ll escalate your issue to our specialist complaints team if:

  • We’re not able to fix your complaint
  • You’re not happy with what we’ve suggested
  • The issue becomes more complicated

The team will contact you to make sure they understand your complaint, then speak to the right people at OVO to make sure we put things right. They’ll try to solve your problem as quickly as possible. And they’ll explain to you what needs to be done and how long it should take.

You can take your complaint to HIES

If you’re not happy with our solution, or we can’t agree on the next steps, you can contact the Home Insulation & Energy Systems Quality Assured Contractors Scheme (HIES). HIES offers a free mediation service that helps both parties come to an agreement. 

You can take your complaint to HIES if: 

  • You’re not happy with how we’ve resolved your complaint
  • It’s already taken 8 weeks

If HIES think there’s more we could have done, they’ll tell us what we need to do. 

This can include: 

  • An explanation 
  • An apology 
  • A specific action, including compensation

Our sales and marketing obligations

If part of your complaint is that we haven’t followed our sales and marketing obligations, we’ll compensate you in line with regulations.

If you’re unhappy, you can ask for an internal review

You can ask for an internal review if you’re not happy with the way your complaint has been handled at any stage of the process.

This includes when you’ve agreed to a resolution, but later feel that this might not be the right outcome.
