Should you try traditional McKinney light companies first?
Probably yes. Here's why: prepaid costs ~$300/year more than traditional plans. If you can get traditional with a low or $0 deposit, you save money. We check multiple McKinney light companies because each has different credit rules. Many people find a $0 deposit option — no credit check required.
Check traditional first — then fall back to prepaid
Enter your ZIP above. We'll check which McKinney light companies will approve you for traditional plans. If you get quoted a deposit you can afford ($0-100), go traditional and save ~$300/year.
If every company wants $300+? That's when prepaid makes sense. You avoid the deposit entirely, get lights same-day, and can switch to traditional later once you build payment history.
Prepaid costs more per month
Prepaid rates are typically 30-50% higher than traditional plans. On average, that's about $50-70 more per month for a typical McKinney household.
The math: If you can get a traditional plan with $0-100 deposit, it's often cheaper in the long run. But if you're looking at a $300+ deposit you can't afford, prepaid makes sense — at least until you can build 12 months of payment history and switch.
