The cost of calling this number is not linked with geographic locations within the country. It costs the same to call this type of number as it does to call a normal business or home landline.

Emergency Contact Numbers

An energy-related emergency at your home could range from a power cut to a gas leak. Let’s look at each type so that you know which number to call if you find yourself in any of these situations.

Power cut

If your electricity goes off, first check whether the same has occurred at your neighbours' homes. Knock on their doors and ask if they still have an electricity connection. If they don't, there could be a power cut. In which case you should call 105.

This number is free from most landlines and mobile phones. You'll be put through to your local Distribution Network Operator who will do its best to fix the problem.

Gas leak

If you smell gas at home, remember the following golden dos and don'ts:

To report a suspected gas leak, call the National Gas Service Emergency Line on 0800 111 999.

If you think the problem is coming from your boiler, contact E.ON on 0345 052 0000 to arrange a visit from a Gas Safe registered engineer. This professional will inspect your boiler and make sure it's operating safely.

If you've noticed that you no longer have a gas supply even though you have a prepayment meter which is in credit, call E.ON's PAYG team. The E.ON Energy contact number for this department is 0345 303 3040.

You lead a busy lifestyle, and sometimes you won't have the time to call the E.ON contact number and hold on the phone in order to get your question answered. Let's have a look at some other E.ON contact channels to help you get your query resolved.

Social media

• E.ON on Twitter
