OVO’s Extra Support
OVO Extra Support is here to help our customers who need some additional help to manage and pay for their energy. Whether you’ve had a change in your circumstances or an ongoing need, we are here to help wherever we can.
Am I eligible?
If you think you’ll struggle to pay your bills and you’re an OVO or Boost customer, then you might be eligible. It doesn’t take long to apply for support and you’ll get your answer right away.
When you apply for support, things like household income, any disposable income, and medical needs will be taken into account – to help prioritise those who need help most.
We won’t be able to offer everything to everyone – but we’re hoping to help as many people as possible. Our specialist teams will be available to speak to any of our customers who are worried about energy costs.
Energy Saving Support
From free home efficiency kits, to heated throws, we can help to give you tailored advice and support as well as funding options to help reduce your energy costs ongoing.
Direct Financial Support
Eligible customers may qualify for direct financial support towards their energy bill or to support existing energy debt and specialist debt and benefits advice to maximise your income.
Payment Support
If you are struggling to pay for energy we can provide options to support, from Direct Debit reductions, emergency credit top ups and debt repayment support, to flexible, extended repayment plans to find a way that can work for you.
Priority Services
Let us know if you have any additional needs or circumstances that may impact how you manage your energy. We can add you to our Priority Service Register (PSR) to help make your life easier with our specialist service support options.
Energy efficiency upgrades
If you’re eligible, you could get a wide range of energy-saving measures installed through ECO4 – from loft insulation to a new boiler, or even high-end tech like heat pumps. You could get a whole package installed, all for free.
Warm Home Discount
The Warm Home Discount is a one-off £150 discount given to eligible domestic electricity customers to help with energy costs.
