Changing from OVO Standard to E-ON fixed.

Allex50

I have a signal by my meter of -115dB far less that needed for a reliable Smart meter connection. Although I would save 11% and more later I am wary of !!!!!!-ups in getting the meter installed and the aerial needed, etc. Considering staying on standard as OVO does not seem to have a way of changing to a fixed deal on their website (with the same likely problems). I really don't want a meter anyway as I can do that myself and don't need help for that.

I don't quite understand your question, sorry.

If you are thinking of switching from OVO to EON Next to join one of EON's fixed tariffs, you will probably need to agree that EON can fit a smart meter.

However, if the meter fitter turns up and finds you have insufficient signal there are two things that might happen.

1. The fitter goes away and leaves you with your old meter. You use the only meter and continue submitting regular manual readings.

2. The fitter installs a new meter anyway. You use the new meter and continue submitting regular manual readings.

EON aren't going to deny you the fixed tariff because of this.

(Edit to add: I'm assuming the EON tariff isn't a "smart" tariff as frequently used for EVs and such. If it's smart then yes, you can't join it without a working smart meter.)

EON Next website - 12 and 24 month fixes - With or without smart meter.

MSE - Next Fixed 12m Exclusive v1
- 12 month fix - Smart meters not required

O/P last time I looked OVO fixed rates were very expensive compared with Eon Next

did you check the terms for exut fees if you think you might want to switch in ndxt 12months

as i note Eon Next state in some of their pages they may now apply internal fees on some of their fix deals.

They dont offer fixes on my e10 - so never tested it.

"Are there any exit fees on our tariffs?

We do apply internal exit fees on some of our tariffs but this will be made clear in the tariff description."
