Hi.

i thought this would be simple, but it’s proving difficult. I’m an existing OVO customer on a rolling Simpler Energy tariff and thought I’d like to try and move to a fixed tariff before the increase.

 

Tried logging into account, lots of options around boiler cover, new boilers etc; nothing on new energy tariffs. 
 

Very easy as new customer, why so difficult for existing customers? If I try and choose the plan as a new customer it tells me I’m an existing customer and should log on to my account!!

 

how do I get a new tariff!

update: finally pushed the right buttons and got it working, but not very intuitive 

thanks,

colin

Hi ​@Colingray83 ,

It’s generally worth noting that the tool at https://switch.ovoenergy.com is intended purely for new customers. As an existing one, you need to do this via your online account at https://my.ovoenergy.com or through OVO Support. If you were on Simpler Energy, the button to switch tariff will always be available - otherwise it’ll become visible when the time is right near the end of an existing fix deal.

I admit it was user error - but I had to access the tariffs page via a banner offering free boiler service (which I don’t need) and then decline the boiler service.

anyway found it in the end, but did feel like I was going round in circles for a while.
