I’m moving into an electric only rental supplied by OVO in a weeks time, it’s currently on a prepayment meter and I have no idea how these work but they sound terrible, if I sign up with OVO can I move to direct debit from day 1?

Hey @Tom1992 ,

Good luck with the home move!

As for your question, the answer depends on what meter it is.

If it’s a Smart Meter, then you can simply ask OVO PAYG Support to set up a transfer to Pay Monthly via 0330 175 9669 and it should be pretty simple to do.

If it’s NOT a Smart Meter i.e. you use a Key/Card that you insert into the meter to top-up, it’ll need to be replaced which will take longer. 0330 175 9669 is again the number to call to sort that out and get an engineer to stop by.

Either way, you’ll need to set up an account anyway so feel free to discuss this at the same time.

You will not be able to switch supplier without signing up to OVO first.
