Average connection time: 2-4 hours during business days
Why Are You Being Asked for a Deposit?
It's not personal - it's just business. Here's what triggers deposit requests:
Credit Score Below 600
Most providers require deposits for scores under 600. Our no-deposit partners don't check credit at all.
Past Utility Issues
Previous disconnections or unpaid bills can trigger deposits. Prepaid plans bypass this completely.
New to Credit
Young adults and new residents often lack credit history. No-deposit plans are perfect for building it.
Recent Address Changes
Multiple moves can flag you as high-risk. Avoid the hassle with guaranteed approval plans.
Good News: You Have Options!
Whatever your situation, we have providers ready to connect your electricity today without requiring any upfront deposit.
