Whether you are moving or looking to switch providers, many energy companies have same-day electricity activation. Energy providers will communicate with your utility company to turn on your power the same day you purchase your plan. Follow the steps below to find same-day electricity plans near you.
Texas residents, including those in Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, and Corpus Christi, have access to same-day electricity. Energy providers such as 4Change Energy, Cirro Energy, Payless Power, and TXU Energy provide same-day services as long as you call before a specific time. The daily cut-off time varies by provider, but it is typically between 2 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. Enter your ZIP code or call the number on your screen today to find the best energy plan in your area offering same-day electricity services.
Most apartments require electricity under your name before you can move in. Sign up for an energy plan on our site or call the number on your screen for same-day apartment electricity. Your selected energy provider will provide proof of service for your apartment’s leasing office.
There are many concerns when moving to a new home. It can be easy to forget the basics, like electricity. Same-day electricity removes the pressure of setting power up beforehand and the worry of spending the first night in your new home without power. If you would rather set up your electricity before moving, most providers allow you to set up your electricity plan 60 to 90 days in advance. Enter your ZIP code to compare and select available electricity plans in your area.
Can you get same-day electricity on a Sunday?
No. Texas electricity providers do not operate on Sundays or major holidays. Certain energy companies operate on Saturdays. Check your selected energy provider’s hours to receive same-day electricity service.
What is the difference between a fixed and variable rate plan?
Fixed-rate plans offer a stable rate throughout the length of your contract. These plans protect you from fluctuating electricity prices. Variable-rate plans depend on the energy market and change month to month. These plans allow customers to capitalize on low rates during times of low demand. Use our guide to understand your energy bill.
Where can I find the details for my energy plan?
The Electricity Facts Label (EFL) for your energy plan lists your plan’s details, including the rate, contract length, and percentage of green energy.
