How prepaid lights work

Prepaid electricity works like a prepaid phone. You put money on your account, your smart meter reports your usage daily, and that usage is drawn from your balance. Check the balance any time and top up whenever it suits you — there is no monthly due date to miss.

Same‑day prepaid lights

This is why most people search for prepaid lights in the first place — the power is off, or it is about to be, and waiting a week is not an option.

With a working smart meter at your address, Now Power can connect service the same day you enroll. No technician visit, no deposit to clear first.

How same-day service works

Prepaid lights with no deposit

Traditional electricity plans often ask for a deposit based on a credit check, and that deposit can run into the hundreds of dollars. Prepaid removes the step entirely: because you fund the account before you use the power, there is nothing to underwrite. No deposit, no credit check, no security payment held for months.

How much does it cost to start?

You choose your starting amount and add to it whenever you like — by card, by bank draft, or with cash at PayNearMe locations across Texas.

How long a given amount lasts depends on your home, the season, and how hard the air conditioner is working, so the honest answer is that it varies.
