Beware the free 3/4 plans with 'peak demand charges'. Got stung with a peak demand charge that was higher than the rest of our bill combined. I understand it's in the contract and terms, but it is int... See more

Good with no issues when I was with them, hence the 3 stars. I did have an issue after leaving them due to moving. Even though I had direct debit set up they didn’t direct debit my final bill, which... See more

Pleasantly surprised! Usually electricity company customer service is dodgy as. This was a breeze! Opened a chat, IDd myself, asked to change direct debit to fortnightly instead of monthly. They said... See more

Happy Customer

I've been with OVO for almost a year now. My bill is never a shock surprise, and I actually enjoy calling customer service. They answer quickly and are so kind on the phone. I really like this energy provider!

$hit company stay away

Continuously withdrawing funds from your account every month (in my case, it amounted to $187 per month, resulting in a credit of $483 in 7 months, while I'm facing challenges in paying my mortgage), they surpass the agreed-upon bill without proper authorization. When questioned, they offer various excuses. It is recommended to avoid them if you want to prevent financial losses.
PS: check their rates, its highier too.

Helpful Trent

I spoke with Trent, who was very courteous and helpful. I have only been with OVO for 6 months, and didn’t understand why even though my account is always showing in Credit, but $130 is still being deducted monthly as direct debit. He explained that I am using less per month than estimated, and why that was. He kindly reduced my estimated rate and said it could be reviewed again in 3 months to see if that amount is closer to what I actually use. I found that very helpful and am happy with the outcome. Thank you.

Today I had inquiries about my bills

Today I had inquiries about my bills, I had a great experience with amazing and extraordinary customer service from Trent.

Never had come across such a kind and respectful representative I highly recommend the records of his services be heard and shown to the rest of the representatives so they can learn and get inspired by him.

Thank you

Supportive staff

Trent was incredibly supportive and humorous. He diligently confirmed and double-checked everything, which significantly aided my move-out process, making it quick and easy.

Super helpful and understanding of my situation

Trent helped me with self read process, and also suggest for me to bill pause (which is awesome), as I have lots of credit in my account. I wish others also suggested me this, when I called in previously around 4 months ago.
He also explained why I can't adjust estimated reading, however he suggested the next time the estimated reading is super high again, then he can escalate it. Trent is super helpful!!!!!

helpful information

It was good that we actually received a human response and that our questions were answered. It is often hard to even find an email address these days so this was a positive experience for us plus having a helpful answer. Thank you, Trent.
