Hi,

I was also told that I would be entitled to £30 last month when they didn’t show up to my April appointment either. 
Can I get an appointment where someone will show up please? I would like smart meters in my house. 
The bookings in April and May have both been no shows with no contact. 
Can someone ensure me that someone will actually turn up if I was to book another appointment? Or would I be better off changing to another company. 
thank you

We were due to have an engineer out today. They haven't shown up no contact or anything. How do I contact to find out what's happening as lines shut after slot did.

You could try Twitter or Facebook which usually does run later.

Hey @Dragonb1 

 

I’m really sorry to hear about this.

 

Have you been back in touch with the Support Team this morning to have them rearrange the appointment? If not, please do get in touch with the team.

 

As the engineer missed the last appointment, you may also be entitled to £30 compensation, check out this page for more on this: https://www.ovoenergy.com/help/article/guaranteed-standard-of-performance-gsop.

Hey @Dragonb1 

 

Sorry to hear this.

 

If you’ve not had this re-arranged yet, then I’d recommend going to the Support Team via live chat to get this sorted.

My Smart Meter installation failed.  I.e. did not work according to the installing engineer. He reinstated our old Economy Seven meter set up.  That was all a waste of his time and Ovo’s money.

What happens next?

Hey @John kent

 

I’m sorry to hear that the meter installation failed. Did the engineer give you any indication why the meter replacement failed? There could be a few possible reasons such as communication issues where the meter can’t join the network and therefore wouldn’t function properly. Are you a THTC or RTS customer that’s moving from one of those meters to a new smart meter? Apologies for all the questions just trying to get a better understanding of your circumstances. 

 

If you could share some photo’s of your meter setup that would really help us understand what setup you have and how best to try and help you.
