There’s a great Boost Answers guide on what to do when you’ve moving out of/into a house supplied by Boost. Check it out here
What about our FAQ for landlords, here:
That said there’s always going to be exceptions or questions that need answering. Share them below and one of our users should be able to help.
Hi
In short, you’ll need to call us on the day you move in, so we can get a new account set up in your name, and wipe any outstanding debt on the meters. The number is 0330 102 7517, and they’re available 8am - 8pm Monday - Friday, and 9am - 5pm Saturdays.
Thanks,
Ed
We are moving house on the 12th of June 2020. We currently have a smart meter fitted in the property we are leaving, and want the Gas & Electric disconnected on that date, and any refundable balance, refunded.
We don’t know if you can provide the same service, at the house we are going to move to, and can’t get hold of anyone to talk to????
Please advise asap?

Hi
There’s a guide on moving home to do’s at the top of this topic. There’s also a topic on this here
Heads up that you won’t need / you won’t be able to remove the meter when you move out. We’ll just close your account on the date you’ve left, and we’ll open an account for the next day, either for the new tenant or landlord/estate agent.
If you’re currently a Boost customer and you’re moving to a new home, please let us know by calling 0330 102 7517.
We’ll ask for the following information to close your account:
If possible, it would also help us to know:
I’m moving house in the 23rd and not sure who my provider will be in the new house.
What happens to the boost account on my current address will the new owners need to ring boost to set up an account so they can get electricity and gas.
do I need to make you aware that I’m moving and a new owner will be using the gas and electric.
im not sure if boost will be my supplier in my new home until everything is sorted

Hi
I’ve moved your post over to this topic, as it’s a pretty common moving home question. See this guide for all the info you need on moving home.
A few spoilers:
Good luck with the move!
Good night. I have bought my first house and it comes with boost energy. I can’t make the electricity meter to work, I have recharged it with 100 pounds and still doesn’t work… When I try to introduce the code it says rejected every time. I have both cards, for electricity and gas.
Here you have some pictures with the readings of my meter so you can help me, please. I have been a day without electricity and I have some health issues.

Hi
It does look like the meter is in a prepayment setting, and therefore needs credit and reconnecting (by pressing, A, A, B on the keypad) to get back on supply.
The fact that the top up you made isn’t going onto the meter remotely or after typing in that VEND code tells me the card you have isn’t linked up. As mentioned, this needs to be amended by our Support team.
Please come back and let us know what happened in the end?
Hi, I’ve just moved into a new property this week and my electric has been cut off before I’ve had chance to change provider or shop around. I’ve been on hold for over 50 minutes waiting to speak to a advisor to try and get the energy back on I have no idea about pay as you go or smart meters as I’ve always payed quarterly. Does anyone have any idea of how this can be fixed ASAP as my battery is running low and I need to speak to someone to sort it. Thanks.

Hi
I’ve taken this info from this moving home guide linked to at the top:
Please call us on 0330 102 7517 and we’ll get you set up with a new card and key. We will also give you a payment code to top up with until your new payment card reaches you.
It’s not a good idea to use the same payment card or key as the last person, because there may be a standing charge (daily payment) charge on the account, especially if no-one’s been living in the property for a while.
I’m really sorry to hear about those long wait times,
Hi I moved on the 08/04/22, I have boost suppling my old property, and i have been trying to cancel my account, boost have said that due to high demand they cannot supply my new property ( currently dual fuel with E.D.F ) my issue is that i feel like I’m going around in circles and while this is happening the credit is running out on the old property and obvioulsy daily charges dont stop. Any help would be amazing, Thanks in advance. Tony.
Hi
Great to hear you’ve already been in touch with our Support Team following your move. As you’re no longer liable for any standing charges at your previous address the team should be able to close your account and get a final statement issued. It might be worth checking the status of this account closure with the team via our webchat which you can find here.
As you mention trying to request a switch back to Boost at your new address, unfortunately due to the current energy market conditions a switch of suppliers isn’t recommended at the moment. You’ll still be protected by the same Ofgem price cap with any energy supplier so we’d recommend getting in touch with EDF to get an account set-up with them at your new address.
I hope this helps explain things.
thank you for getting back to me Jess, the problem is I havnt been in touch with anyone, I keep getting asked to use the webchat, but it is always mad busy, or i just keep getting diverted, is there a number I can call to make sure this move is put into place please, many thanks, Tony.
Of course,
You can reach the team on 0330 102 7517, Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm or Saturday, 9am to 2pm.
Hope this helps. 👍
Thanks Jess your a star.
Tony.
