How can I change my email address on my OVO account?

• I can't get access to my account details, profile, bills, etc. I would like to change an email address as the old one on there is no longer active and also view usage.
• I have been receiving bills now since January/February, all of them consistently around £60. I received one today for £111 and wondered why this has gone up so much, especially considering it's the summer and the electric heating hasn't been switched on in months.

Welcome to the forum @joegilliver1988, I've popped you post here and edited out your account number to keep your personal information safe.

Check out the answer below on how to change your email address.
 

Hi @aldo.4symbols
If your myovo account has gone livehttps://my.ovoenergy.com/login you can edit the email under "profile".
If its not up and running yet you can call customer service free (Note, you'll be amazed how quick they answer having switched from Scots) on 0330 303 5063, they may need your partner there to give consent to the change.
Or better still, contact ovo on their Facebook page - just have your account number, date of birth and postcode to hand :)
Hope this helps, if there anything else I can help with along the way please don't hesitate to get in touch,
Best wishes,
Bumblebee :)

it sounds like you have recently given us a reading resulting in the most recent large bill, if you've not given a reading in a while we use estimates to produce your statements. When we then get a reading we need to bill you up to date and catch up with potentially under estimated usage.

If this doesn't sound right, please get in touch with our team. You can send us a message on Facebook, Twitter and our Help Centre has online chat. Or you can give them a call, our Customer Care team are here 9-5 Monday-Friday on 0330 30 5063.

Hope this helps!

Due to hacking I’ve had to change my email address, but Ovo are not responding to letter email or phone calls. 

Hi @Harley1 and I’m sorry to hear of the hacking!

You can still log in using the email address that was hacked, it still works as a log in details. Once you’re logged in you, you can update the email address on your online account via the profile section here:

https://account.ovoenergy.com/profile

When you change the email address on your online account, it should update the email address linked to the account that agents see when you contact our Support team. If you think the change wasn’t made, our this be be done via an online chat.

I recently changed ISP and updated the log in details for my OVO account with my new email address. I have just received an email telling me about changes to my direct debit, but it was sent to my old email address (which fortunately is still working). I phoned to query why this had happened and it turns out that OVO have their own internal contact system and updating the email address on your log in details, doesn’t update the email address they use to contact you. There is no way that customers can do this themselves because it is an internal system. Surely this is barking mad - is there anyone who changes their email address, but wishes to be contacted on their old email address?? Perhaps there is?

Hi @James Ross,

I’m sorry for the issues you’ve had.

When a customer changes their email via the online account, it should change it for both their contact and log in address.  I’m not sure what happened with your account and why the email address didn’t change. 

Maybe there’s more than one contact on the account and the other contact has your old email? That’s just a guess, but our Support team will be able to take a look and make sure the correct email address is linked up.

We’ve got a great guide here with more information:

Thank you for your feedback.
