Two ways to get same-day lights in Arlington
Both can get your lights on today through Oncor. Which path depends on your credit and deposit situation.
Path 1: Prepaid (No Credit Check)
- ✓ Guaranteed same-day if before cutoff
- ✓ $0 deposit, no credit check
- ✓ Start with $40-75
- → ~$300/year more expensive
Path 2: Traditional (Check First)
- → Same-day available (credit permitting)
- → We check multiple Arlington light companies
- → Many find $0 deposit option
- ✓ ~$300/year cheaper
Our recommendation: Check traditional first. Enter your ZIP, see which Arlington light companies will work with your credit. If you get quoted $0-100 deposit, go traditional and save money. If every company wants $300+? Switch to prepaid — guaranteed approval, same-day lights.
