Morning all,

 

There’s a couple of scenarios that could be preventing either gas or electricity from being shown on the app:

 

 

Scenario 1: 

 

Some customers have reported that a supply is missing from their app, without realising that the supplies are only visible on the app if they have smart meters installed.

 

If you have a traditional meter installed for gas, then you won’t be able to see anything related to the gas supply on the app, as the gas meter will not be remotely linked in any way, and must be topped up manually with the card as before, with the balance shown only on the meter.

 

If anyone is in this position, we recommend contacting our Support Team to book a smart meter appointment.

 

 

Scenario 2:

 

Some customers who cannot see gas or electricity on their app are affected by an issue where one of their smart meters may not be labelled correctly on their energy account, and this must be fixed by our Support Team.

 

If you have two working smart meters for electricity and gas, and either electricity or gas isn’t showing on the app, please contact Support, and get them to check whether your meters are both labelled as smart meters on your energy account.

 

 

Scenario 3:

 

Gas or electricity could be missing from the online account or app because the two fuels are split across two separate accounts, which aren’t linked together. If you have two separate accounts for electricity and gas, with two account numbers, they can be linked so you’ll be able to log in with one email address and password, and select between the two. 

 

Our Support Team can get this set up for you, and this guide will show you how to switch between the two accounts once they’re linked:

It has been suggested elsewhere that if you still have the old app on your device then the old and new can  clash with each other, and removing the old one then lets the new one work properly.

If it's still not working a few hours after removing the old one then it's time to contact support.

See the green bar at the top of any forum page for the PAYG contact details.

I’m no longer able to use the Top Up App and, as advised, have downloaded the new App.  This only shows my Gas A/C which I pay by direct debit.  There doesn’t seem to be anywhere to add my electricity account so now I’m not able to top up my electricity.  I did use the online chat and was advised that I could just continue to use the existing top up app, which is obviously no longer active!

Thank you for responding.  I contacted Ovo again via the Chat to get this resolved, however, despite the adviser assuring me that my Pay as you go /Electricity account would now be showing/accessible, I have not been able to log into my account at all, either through the app or browser - not sure if this is a problem others have experienced?

Morning ​@GillyHHall,

 

Please can you follow these steps:

 

  • Visit https://my.ovoenergy.com/login
  • Click ‘set up account’
  • Enter your email address when prompted
  • You’ll be sent an email containing a link from which to set a new password
  • Once you’ve set a new password you should have access to the online account
  • You’ll then be able to log into the app with the same email address and password

 

Please let me know how this goes. If you’re unable to log in following these steps please let me know which error messages you’re seeing on the screen.

 

Once you’re logged in, this guide will give you more info as to how it all works with the new account setup:

this happened to me as well, and now the NEW Ovo app is no longer working. Ovo really should have tested this before rolling it out

Morning ​@jkwalker1 and welcome to the OVO Forum community.

 

Sorry to hear of what’s happening here. A few customers have had the same issue, and this needs to be raised to our Support Team, who’ll hopefully be able to fix it. If they can’t fix it for you, they’ll need to raise a ticket to our IT team. There’s a few different reasons as to why one of the fuels can be missing from the app / online account:

 

Please contact Support, and let us know how you get on with this. Hopefully this can be resolved ASAP.

Hi, I am able to view my gas but unable to view my electric. So cannot top up since the top up app has stopped.

Morning ​@MandyHale and a warm welcome to the OVO Forum. I hope you’re doing well.

 

The most common cause of this issue that we’re seeing is customers having gas and electricity split over two separate accounts. In this instance, the accounts must be linked under the same email address. This means that, when you log in, you’ll be able to switch between the two accounts, and top up each. It’ll look like this:

 

 

Please contact our Support Team, who’ll be able to link your accounts together under the same email address and log in, if this is what the issue is. There’s a more unlikely chance that the issue could be because of this:

 

Some customers who cannot see gas or electricity on their app are affected by an issue where one of their smart meters may not be labelled correctly on their energy account, and this must be fixed by our Support Team.

 

Please contact Support, who’ll be able to see what the issue is, and fix it for you. If you could let us know how you get on we’d appreciate it.

Hi ​@Laurajayne94.x 

You will need to contact the support team to resolve this issue.

See this from a previous thread:

Hey ​@Laurajayne94.x 

 

I’m glad to see Nukecad already stopped by with some helpful advice on this and that you’ve already been in touch with the Support Team

 

Is it showing up now? I know others on the Forum have had the same issue and it usually takes a few hours but can take a day or 2 to show up also. If you still can’t see it later on today, I would definitely get back in touch with the team to check on it.

 

Do let us know how you get on.

Hey ​@AndyB88 

 

I’m sorry to hear this.

 

We don’t have access to accounts here at the Forum so you’ll need to get in touch with the Support Team so they can get the electric linked and added on to the same account. Similar to the reply before this, the most common cause of this seems to be that the meters have previously been split over 2 accounts or that one is labelled incorrectly, the team will be able to resolve either of these and anything else it may be.

 

 

Do let us know how you get on.

Hi Abby 

 

I have been on phone for 1 hour. I have been told they can’t fix it and I have to wait for a ticket to be raised. What am I supposed to do when I’m on holiday

Hey ​@Kitsterkit,

 

Welcome to the community! 

 

If our Support Team isn't able to fix the issue right away during your first call, they may need to submit a ticket to our back office team for some extra help. What did they share with you during the call? Did they let you know that a ticket was raised or offer some temporary solutions while they look into it?

This is the email someone sent me after my call:

Thanks for calling today about the issues you're having with your OVO app and adding money to your electricity meter.

I'm really sorry you've been having trouble with the app only showing your gas account and not your electricity.

What happened

We tried to link your electricity account to your online account and app, and also tried a password reset, but the electricity account is still not showing.

What I've done

I've added £10.00 to your electricity meter for you, which should update straight away.

I have raised a case on your behalf to our technical online app team - *removed by moderator*.

Next steps

I'll raise a case with our tech team to investigate why your electricity account isn't showing in the app. I'll get in touch with you by email once this has been looked into and updated.
