Two Ways to Get Your Lights On Today
You have options. We'll show you both paths — then you decide what works for your situation.
Traditional Plans — Better Rates
About $300/year cheaper than prepaid. You pick a plan and enroll. If that company requires a deposit, we let you check multiple other light companies to see if any will approve you with $0 deposit. Many people succeed — even with credit challenges. Usually same-day service.
The honest truth: Can't promise you'll qualify. Every company has different credit thresholds. But worth trying first because the savings are real.
Prepaid — No Questions Asked
Guaranteed approval. No credit check. No deposit. Lights on in 4-6 hours. You'll pay about $300/year more than traditional, but you're in complete control. $40-75 to start.
Your safety net: If traditional doesn't work or takes too long, prepaid gets you lights today. No exceptions, no denials.

Owe money to your old light company?
A "switch hold" can block your lights until you pay the old balance. No company can turn you on until it's cleared. What to do
We'll remind you when your switch hold expires
If you're stuck waiting, we can send you a reminder so you don't miss your window.
