They’ve now got my meter numbers, and on my account page, it now says that they’ll be my official energy supplier from Wednesday 4th of February. The gas only has 3 ticks. So all seems to be going well. I have never read the new meters since installed, over a year ago. Guess I might have to. The 4th is brilliant as that’s when my EON V5 ends and the rip off V12 Starts. Only the Ohme is compatible with IOG. I’ll give it a try 1st. Maybe I’ll just charge more often than I do. Plus, it will likely be different to the way I have been charging. With dynamic charging off. I’ve joined a Facebook group for ohme/octopus. So that should help.
From memory my electric went over the day before the gas did, but all went smoothly.
In your in home display (IHD), you can read the meter units, I would take a quick photo of both elec and gas readings before you go to bed tonight. This will safeguard you incase EON play funny buggers, as EDF did to me when moving to Octopus.
On Octopus there are time you get a block of 1 or 2hrs free electricity and you get paid for what you use above what you normally use during that period, so I put the car on charge and wear the kettle out etc😂 You have to opt in on the app, but its straight forward enough.
At other times, there an option to opt into saving sesions (save energy) and you get what they call Octoplus points for every kWh you save. They have an Octoplus shop, where you can exchange the points collected over time for Octopus branded clothing or Octopus plush toys (ideal if you have young kids in the family) Once a month around bill date, you can spin a wheel and get extra points. Mrs kezo loves it😂
