E.ON is worth comparing if you want an energy supplier that also sells and installs home energy kit — EV chargers, solar and smart thermostats — and if you value consolidating tariffs, installs and boiler/homecare under one account.
One account for energy + installs
Bundle tariffs with EV charger or solar installs to avoid juggling multiple suppliers and tradespeople.
Renewable electricity options
Simple route to a 100% renewable electricity tariff without switching providers for green credentials.
Engineer-installed products
Physical goods like EV chargers and boilers come with vetted installation services — useful if you want turnkey delivery.
What E.ON actually sells
E.ON pairs standard energy tariffs (gas, electricity, dual-fuel) with physical home-energy products and services: EV chargers, rooftop solar and batteries, smart thermostats, boiler cover and repair plans. That mix makes them stronger for shoppers who want both a supplier and the kit/installation work, rather than buying hardware separately from a third-party retailer.
How to get the best price here
You usually get the best headline price by signing up online, choosing Direct Debit and bundling services (for example, tariff + installation). Watch for online-only fixed tariffs and seasonal sign-up offers; compare fixed vs variable deals on price comparison sites before committing. For products, booking installation and purchase together can be cheaper than buying hardware and hiring an installer separately.
Shipping, returns and trust signals
Physical deliveries (chargers, thermostats, solar kits) may have separate shipping and installation timelines; installers are provided through vetted contractors. UK consumer rules give you a 14-day cancellation window for most distance purchases, but installation work is treated differently once scheduled or started. E.ON is an Ofgem-regulated energy supplier — check contract terms for exit fees on fixed tariffs before switching.

Verdict
Worth it when
- You want one supplier to handle energy supply plus installs (EV charger, solar, boilers).
- You prefer an easy route to a renewable electricity tariff without third-party switching.
- You value bundled installs from vetted engineers rather than sourcing separate contractors.
- You want online account tools and smart-meter integration to track usage.
Skip it if
- You’re only chasing the absolute cheapest tariff across the market — comparison-led specialists may beat bundled pricing.
- You need instant delivery or very fast installs — installation slots and lead times can extend checkout-to-complete time.
- You prefer to shop hardware and installers separately to squeeze the lowest product+install price.
