OVO Energy customers could get free heating for a year worth over £340 in bill credit. The new perk is available to customers of loyalty scheme OVO Beyond.
You will need to sign up through the OVO Beyond app so you can collect a maximum of a year’s worth of free heating over two years. During this time, you will need to agree to buy a heat pump from OVO.
The credit will then come off your monthly bill when the heat pump is installed. The energy credits are worth £28.46 a month over a maximum of 12 months – which adds up to £341.52 total over the year.

Energy Saving Trust claims an air source heat pump generally costs between £14,000 and £19,000 to install, Mirror reports. A ground source heat pump is between £28,000 and £34,000.
Mat Moakes, chief commercial officer at OVO, said: “We know that not everyone is ready to make the switch now, so we’re offering extra support to bank rewards and save for the future. Over half a million customers are already on the app ready to bank solar panels and EV miles, it’s one of the many ways that we’re helping households on the journey to a greener future.”
It comes as new research from OVO found only 16 per cent of people are considering installing a heat pump. But 62 per cent of people said they would be more likely to install a heat pump in their home if they were offered incentives.
OVO claims customers can unlock up to £1,000 worth of savings through its Beyond scheme. This includes a free boiler service worth £84, 30 per cent off heating and plumbing repairs booked via the OVO app and OVO Energy Expert visits worth £100 for just £15.
To be eligible for OVO Beyond, customers must have a smart meter and pay via Direct Debit.
