We've just moved in to a house you supply, how do I change the name on the OVO Energy account?

Hi,

We just moved into a property in Wembley and the last tenants had OVO Energy as the supplier. Now we have to change the names. What we should do?

Thanks

Welcome to your new home and to OVO!


Once you’ve got the keys to the new property you’ll need to let us know you’ve moved in and set up an account with us here. You can also find a guide for this process on our website here.

 

Once you’ve put in your new address details the website will recognise we already supply your new home and give you a quote based on the usage figures we have for the property. If you’d prefer, you can also contact our Support Team who can do this process for you.

 

 

Even if you’re planning on switching suppliers - we’ll need a temporary account created in order to cover the period before your switch. When we create your account we’ll check the date you moved in and the meter readings on this date (unless you’ve got a Smart meter!) and create you an account starting from this point. There’s a full run-down of this process on the great guide below.

 

 

Once you’re all set-up, the easiest way to keep an eye on your new account is by logging in to your online account or downloading our app (available for iOS and Android)

 

Good luck with the unpacking. :thumbsup:

Hey @WPyszczuk,

 

How were you made aware that OVO was the property supplier? Usually, when someone asks about the supplier status of a property when they call, we would take the door number and postcode and check the national database. So either the supplied property information is wrong, leading to incorrect information, or we don’t supply the property. 

 

I’d suggest giving our Support Team another call and asking them to double-check again for you just to be sure. As @Blastoise186 pointed out, we have a sister company, Boost, if the meters in the property are pay-as-you-go.

Hi @Rabia adnan ,

If you recently moved in, you need a new account rather than modifying the existing one.

Either way, please call 0330 303 5063 to discuss this.

Hey @Rabia adnan 

 

Welcome to the Forum, one of our volunteers Blastoise186 has already left some really helpful advice here for you but I just wanted to add on a few things to that advice.

 

If you’ve recently moved into a property we supply and you’ve not yet told us about it you can do so you’ll need to get in contact with our Support Team as it’s been a few months now since you moved in, they’ll be able to get an account set up in your name and get those bills sorted out for you.

 

You can find more on this on the topic below too:

 

Similarly, if you’ve already signed up and there’s been a mistake in the sign up process such as the name is incorrect and you just need to have it updated, the Support Team will be able to get this sorted too. There’s also more on this below:

 

It does sound more like the fist instance that we just don’t have an account set up for you yet, so please do reach out to the Support Team who’ll be able to get you all set up.

 

Keep us updated with how you get on.🙂
