What people say about OVO Energy
Rated 4.5 stars by more than 185956 customers
Priority Register Rang OVO today regarding the priority register to check they had everything up to date due to my extensive medical conditions. I spoke with a lovely gentleman called Kieran (customer care expert) he was so caring and understanding from the beginning, he even went out his way to check the OVO customer support application had gone through. I asked several questions as I wanted to make sure if anything happened I’d be safe, nothing was too much bother, he even asked other colleagues too so he knew he gave the correct advice. This is what you call outstanding customer service and I would recommend anyone one who is on priority register or anything, you’ll get the best service from OVO especially if you have Kieran.

Good news: we cover most domestic central heating boilers that are powered by mains gas.
We don’t cover:
- Electric, liquid petroleum gas (LPG) boilers
- Solid fuel or oil fuelled boilers
- Back boilers, alternative, green, renewable energy or dual-purpose systems
- Central heating and/or controls specifically designed for piped or electric underfloor systems
- Electric central heating systems
This all depends on exactly what type of plan you choose, so check your policy documents.
If you’ve chosen one of our standard plans without a £60 fixed excess charge, then you won’t pay any excess charges except in specific circumstances.
For example, if you’re on our Complete plan without a £60 fixed excess charge, you will have to pay excess charges in the following circumstances:
- External drains callouts – £50 excess
- Taps and toilets callouts – £50 excess
If you choose one of our policies with a fixed £60 excess, then you will be charged £60 for each callout. If the engineer has to make a second visit to fix the same problem (within 30 days of the first visit) you won’t have to pay the call-out charge again. There is no call-out charge for your annual boiler service.
We know there’s a lot of admin to think about when you move house. The good news is, it’s no hassle to take your boiler cover with you. Simply get in touch with us to let us know that you’ve moved, and we can help you set up a new contract.
We’ll need to know:
- Your new address
- The date you moved in
- Some details about your new boiler
You could also choose to end your boiler cover with us when you move. There might be a charge for this.
There’s a 14-day “cool off” period, during which you can change your mind and cancel your policy at no charge. After that, you can cancel your boiler cover at any time, but there may be a cancellation fee to pay.
In emergencies, such as a water leak, we will aim to get an engineer out to you within two hours.
For all other problems, we’ll aim to get someone to you either:
- The same day you call, if you call before 9am
- Within 24 hours
Suspected gas leak? Please urgently call the National Gas Emergency Service: 0800 111 999
Our boiler services usually take place between March and October. When you sign up to one of our plans, we’ll be in touch to let you know which month you’re scheduled in for.
When your service is due, an engineer will be in contact to fix a date and time that suits you.
