Does OVO have a 'Careline' phone number or similar for priority service customers?

Hi,

 

I am in the process of switching over to Ovo from SSE. I am on the priority service register and SSE have a dedicated careline number for Vulnerable customers. 

 

My question is, does Ovo have a dedicated number similar to SSE so I don't ring customer care, I can just contact "Careline" number, just for Vulnerable customers. 

 

 

Many thanks in advance for any help

 

 

Tracy

If you or anyone in your household is vulnerable, or just needs a little extra assistance at a difficult time in your lives, our Priority Services Register is a free support service you might find useful. There are also tons of helpful resources and information available on our OVO Help pages. Struggling with your energy bills? Our Support Package might be helpful to you.

Hi @Caino1978 and thanks for posting this. 

 

For you or anyone else asking this question, there is currently no dedicated contact number for ‘Careline’. However, we do things differently to other companies, and its called ‘account management’. It’s a new way of doing things, where groups of customers have a dedicated squad of zero carbon living advisors, including team members with technical backgrounds, coaches and more. It’s a self sufficient team, meaning there’s no passing you round from one department to another. When you call our Support team, you’ll get redirected to your dedicated squad. 

 

The hope is that there’s never a need to call, as our squads will be managing your accounts proactively, fixing anything that crops up, making contact with you if anything needs to be shared. It should all be proactive, it should be managed for you.  

 

This is being rolled out this year, so not all our customers are part of this yet.

 

It’s good to hear you’re already on the Priority Services Register.

Hey @Tim0548,

 

Welcome to the OVO Online Community,

 

I can see our helpful community members have already recommended the Priority Services Register which offers free additional services for vulnerable customers.

 

Just wanted to add a number of other support options available:

 

Customer support package and where to apply

Warm Home Discount

What to do if I can’t afford my energy bills? 

Energy Bills Support Scheme

Energy Company Obligation

 

Pop back to the Forum with any other questions you may have, we’re happy to help 😊

 

Hope this helps.
