Prepaid Electricity in Tyler, TX with No Deposit

Sign Up Today!

Tyler households often want a simple way to establish electricity when moving, renting, or taking control of the monthly budget. With pay-as-you-go electricity, you fund the account in advance and keep an eye on the balance as you use power.

Now Power offers eligible Tyler customers prepaid service with no deposit, no long-term contract, and no hard credit inquiry. A qualifying address with a working smart meter may be able to receive same-day service after funding. Confirm the address before you plan around activation time.

Why Tyler Residents Choose Now Power

  • Same-day power: With a working smart meter in place, service can usually be turned on within one to two hours of your first payment.
  • No deposit, no credit check: A practical option for UT Tyler and TJC students, first-time renters, and anyone protecting their credit.
  • Daily usage updates: A text or email each day shows yesterday's kilowatt-hours and your remaining balance.
  • Reload your way: Add funds online, by phone, through ACH, or with cash at PayNearMe locations across Smith County.

How Electricity Choice Works in Tyler

Oncor Electric Delivery maintains Tyler’s local poles, wires, and meters and handles utility outages. Now Power is the Retail Electric Provider for an eligible prepaid account. Selecting a retail plan changes your account relationship, not the delivery company that maintains the infrastructure.

For an outage or delivery issue, contact Oncor. For an enrollment, payment, or balance question, contact Now Power.

Living in Tyler

Tyler earned its title as the “Rose Capital of America” through a long history of commercial rose growing, celebrated each fall at the Texas Rose Festival and on display year-round at the Tyler Municipal Rose Garden. The historic Azalea District bursts into color every spring, the University of Texas at Tyler and Tyler Junior College anchor the education scene, and the surrounding piney woods and lakes draw people outdoors. Summers here are hot and humid thanks to the East Texas climate, with an occasional winter cold snap, so watching your cooling costs is well worth it.

Energy-Saving Tips for Tyler Homes

  • Hold the thermostat near 78°F on summer afternoons; the East Texas humidity makes cooling work harder, so lower settings cost more.
  • Use your AC's "dry" mode or a dehumidifier — pulling moisture out makes a room feel cooler than the temperature alone.
  • Run ceiling fans to spread cool air and let you raise the setting a couple of degrees.
  • Change HVAC filters monthly in summer so pollen and dust from the piney woods don't clog airflow.
  • Before a winter cold snap, seal drafts so your heater isn't losing warmth through gaps.
