How do I find out my OVO account number?

Hey @Jfbowe,

Sorry for the issues you’re having, 

The following advice taken from our Help Centre may be useful:

How to find out if OVO already supplies your new home

Not yet 100% sure who already supplies gas and/or electricity to your new home? First of all, check out our guide to finding your energy supplier, to help you figure it out. 

You can also find out who’s supplying your electricity by calling your local Meter Point Administration Service. To find out who supplies your gas, contact the Meter Number Helpline on 0870 608 1524. 

Once you’ve done that, and found out that OVO supplies your new home, here are the next steps:

Get set up with OVO in your new home

So you’ve learned that your new home’s already supplied by OVO – good news! We can get your account set up right away. There are just a few things we’ll need to know first – including: 

• The full address and postcode of your new home

• The date you moved in

• Your full name

• Your date of birth

• Your phone number (either mobile or landline)

• Your email address

• Your Direct Debit details

• The meter readings from when you moved in (if possible)

You can get set up using our online form. Just have the above details to hand. You can also call OVO on 0330 303-5063.

Let us know if the form works, if not, I’d advise calling. If they aren’t able to explain or resolve the issues with you setting up an account there is always the option to raise a complaint. 

Being doing all this for the last fourteen months 🤦‍♂️

Sorry to hear this @Jfbowe, I’ll get Forum_Support to reach out. Please keep an eye on your private messages. 

Hi i was a SSE customer but was moved onto OVO during the change over i have not had a problem really until now....every year i apply for the WHD via the online form as i live in scotland and its not automatically done here ...and ive never had a problem with that either that is until i went to fill in this years 24/25 form and i can not get passed the account number..i put my account number in and i get the message "sorry we only supply gas to this account so sadly we can not register your interest in the warm home discount"  the funny thing is who am i paying all the money to for my electric supply? If not OVO... and it sure says your OVO electricity account number on my app and smart meter and its the same number i used last year and the year befire etc now it says try your OVO/BST account number ? Can anyone throw a light on this please

Hi,

You probably need to chat with OVO Support for this one, try the options at https://ovoenergy.com/help .

To answer the question in the title- I would take a educated guess at ‘BST’ being short for ‘Boost’, the old PAYG sister company of OVO.
It probably should have been removed from that message now that ‘Boost’ customers have been migrated into OVO. (Unless there are still some left with Boost who haven’t migrated yet?).

As said your best move is to contact OVO support.

Hey @Josepinenrobert 

Sorry to hear this.

I’m glad to see though that a couple of our volunteers have already stopped by with some helpful advice here.

Contacting our Support Team will be the best thing to do here so they can check the account numbers, maybe you have a separate one for gas, and for electric? They’ll be able to confirm this.

Let us know how you get on.

Hi thanx every1 for your suggestions, i now have it all sorted out, in the end i had to do a phonecall to customer services who incidently had no clue either about (OVO/BST) but on taking my account number that i gave  quite easily accessed my account 

Hi @Josepinenrobert,

Glad to hear you managed to get this sorted. Let us know if you have any further problems.

Want to know my account number and setup pin for withdrawal and payment 

Hi ​@Joycelyn cudjoe ,

We can’t tell you your account number here. Please contact OVO directly via https://ovoenergy.com/help .

Your account number will be on any/every bill or statement that you have.

Hi I’m new to ovo, and had my smart meter installed yesterday. But I don’t have any account number

i need to top up, but when trying to do online it’s asking for it. 
 

any ideas 😊

Hi ​@LMTANM ,

I can’t generate that for you via the Forum I’m afraid. Please use Live Chat via https://ovoenergy.com/help in a couple of hours - the Support Team can grab the PAN you need for the app.

I have two meters, for the supply of gas and electric. I want to know if I have separate OVO account numbers. That’s all I’m trying to find out, without success - ‘chat robots’ really do irritate me in the extreme. Simple question - impossible to find the answer.

Any clues anyone?

Hi ​@gasandlx12 ,

Unlike most suppliers, OVO combines both accounts under a single account number - it’s all one giant account for everything.

Thanks for that - much appreciated.  In that case OOPS - I’ve aquired 2 account numbers, and no clue as to which is the correct one. Being on pay as you go, there is no bill, and of course all ‘correspondance’ with OVO is me asking a question (by email) and them sending some generic ‘apology’ reply, not even mentioning the question I asked, let alone answered it,  and of course from a different person every time….

Don’t you just love ‘excellent customer service’?

Try 0330 175 9669 or Live Chat via https://ovoenergy.com/help in that case - it’ll be easier

Hey ​@gasandlx12 

Sorry to hear about the confusion with account numbers.

As we don’t have access to accounts here at the Forum so we wouldn’t be able to tell which account allocates to what. If you’ve not been in touch with the Support Team yet, please do so and they’ll be able to confirm which number is for what supply. You can call the team on 0330 175 9669, Monday to Friday from 8am to 8pm, and 9am to 5pm on weekends.

Let us know how you get on.

Hi and thanks for the valuable information - I figured out what it was, and which number was the valid one. Thanks again.

Hey ​@gasandlx12 

Glad to hear that, thanks for popping back with the update!
