Don’t fall for common misconceptions, such as concerns over higher rates (when higher than postpaid rates, they’re usually offset by lack of additional fees) or higher energy consumption (if your plan runs out of cash, your meter simply stops dispensing).
These types of energy plans are ideal for all sorts of people and situations. We often recommend enrolling with a prepaid light company in Texas if you fall into one or more of the following categories.
New Texas Residents
Paying in advance for electricity is a smart choice for new Texas residents, who benefit from same-day power service without the need for a state drivers license or local utility payment history. And when you’re dealing with moving expenses, it doesn’t hurt to save $200 to $300 on a deposit-free plan.
Credit-Challenged Consumers
Access an essential utility service without a credit check. This is often key for people who are rebuilding their credit after financial hardship and may not qualify for traditional energy plans (at least not without a steep deposit).
Budget Conscious Families
A family on a fixed income can make smaller, more frequent payments aligned with their biweekly income, rather than facing a variable lump sum once a month. They can also easily monitor and adapt their household energy usage to ensure predictable monthly expenses.
