Here to help our community.
Priority Services Register.
If you’re a vulnerable customer and feel like you need some extra help with managing your energy account, we can add you to our Priority Services Register (PSR). You can add yourself to the register or update your circumstances any time through your online account or by emailing us at hi@eonnext.com.
Speech or hearing impaired customers can also put 18001 in front of our phone number, 0808 501 5200, to use text relay at no extra cost if you'd prefer to contact us by phone. You can find out more on the Relay UK website.
When you’re on the PSR, there are extra things we can do for you to make life easier:
If your energy supply stops unexpectedly, we’ll prioritise reconnecting you straight away.
If you’re struggling to read your bill or statement, let us know and we can help.
You can choose someone to look after your account for you. If they’re happy to do this, we’ll send them your bills or statements.
If you’re worried about security, you can choose a password our team will use to identify themselves.
Mental health support from Mind.
We know that money worries can impact your mental health. If you need support for your mental health, you can visit Mind for information and advice at mind.org.uk/information-support/ or call Mind’s Infoline on 0300 123 3393 (Monday-Friday, 9am-6pm).
Mind’s mission is to make sure anyone experiencing a mental health problem gets support and respect. They offer help whenever people might need it through their helplines, their online community Side by Side and through local Minds across England and Wales. We know that the last few years have been tough on the nation’s mental health, which is why we launched our partnership with Mind in early 2022.
Extra support with Kidney Care UK.

Gas safety check.
If you’re on our PSR and live alone or with elderly people, someone with a disability or a chronic illness, or live with a child under the age of five, then you could get a free gas safety check.

Keeping safe and secure.
For your peace of mind, we’ll let you know in advance before one of our technicians visits your home.
Remember to ask anyone who comes into your home for official proof of identity. We provide identity cards for our technicians and you can also choose to set a password for us to say when we visit.
Identity cards.
All our technicians carry identity cards, which show their photograph, unique identity number and the card expiry date.
