Same-Day Electricity Is Just One Click Away — Instant Connection Available!

Why Is Same-Day Electricity Important?

Moving is stressful enough. Getting electricity turned on should be high on your list, but the least of your worries. Working lights, air conditioning and appliances make settling into your house or apartment much easier.

Payless Power, a Texas-based light and power company, understands that you need reliable electricity fast without a lengthy set-up process, cumbersome pre-approval hoops to jump through, and a hefty deposit. With this in mind, a company that offers same-day electricity service is a company that understands the needs of its clientele.

How Do I Qualify for Same-Day Electricity?

Payless Power can connect your electricity within the same day as long as your house has a smart meter that can be remotely activated. If you’re wondering whether or not your house has a smart meter, don’t worry! It’s likely you do as the majority of Texas households (7.3 million) have a smart meter. If you’re a new customer and want your electricity switched on within the same day, contact Payless Power using the customer care number (866) 963-9353, and we’ll get you started.

Why Payless Is The Right Choice

Responsive Customer Service

Payless Power provides same-day service hours six days a week from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Several competitors end their Saturday service at 2 p.m.We understand that moving doesn’t always go as planned, so we are available to help with any questions you have when setting up your lights and power.

We Can Get You Reconnected after Disconnection

If your electricity has been disconnected as a result of non-payment, simply repay the outstanding amount in full plus a minimal reconnection balance fee to trigger reconnection. Service is typically reconnected within 2 hours once the balance is paid.

Same-Day Electricity on Move-In Day

In Texas, you can set up your electricity service up to 60 days in advance when moving into a house. If that detail has fallen through the cracks, call us early on move-in day (or the day before) to get service connected.

Moving Into An Apartment

our apartment complex will likely have lights on in their name for showings, but will then schedule a “move out” date when you move in, meaning you’ll need to set up your own utilities. Many apartment complexes provide a list of electricity companies, hours, and phone numbers. To keep your lights on, same-day electricity is the cheapest and fastest way to go. After paying pricey apartment deposits, fees, and first-month’s rent, choosing a Payless Power prepaid plan is affordable. You can pay up to $75 to get started, which is not a deposit, but a prepaid balance that goes toward the cost of your electricity.

Signing up is easy

Find Rates

STEP 2: Enroll

The good news is, you don’t need to wait until business hours to start.  Enroll online to set up your account. Before setting up an account, make sure you have a working email address, phone number, and correct home address. When registering, you will be given two options:

  • Move-In (for new customers)
  • Switch (for those registered but switching to a new provider).

STEP 3: Wait for Same-Day Power

When possible, apply and enroll early in the day as the process can take up to 4-6 hours. Once the registration process is complete, Payless Power will send an electronic transaction to the local utility. The electricity will then be turned on once the order has been processed.

Delay Scenarios – What about weekdays, holidays, after hours?

Limited circumstances may delay same-day electricity connection, including the following:

  • Making a late-afternoon or after-hours request. Payless Power recommends starting the process early in the day to allow for the 4- to 6-hour connection time.
  • In Texas, you cannot get same-day electricity on Sundays and holidays.
  • A social security number is required to connect service for new customers. If not provided on time, the process could be delayed. 
  • A permit requirement from the local city council may cause delays.
  • An outstanding balance must be paid before reconnection is made.
  • The absence of smart meters, which delays the utility company from remotely activating service that day. A technician may need to make a visit to install a smart meter or activate service on standard meters.
