How to start service in ZIP 75208

  1. 1

    Choose a plan for the new address

    Check which plans serve your full Dallas address, including the unit number. Listed prices cover the first term only, and many plans renew higher, so look for a plan that renews at the new-customer price.

    What to look for in a first plan

    • A simple starting point: a fixed rate with one energy charge, no usage-based bill credit, and no time-of-day pricing.
    • On each Electricity Facts Label (EFL), check the average price at 500, 1,000, and 2,000 kWh, the contract length, and the cancellation fee.
    • A provider that could be a long-term home. Introductory prices cover the first term only, and many plans renew higher. Look for a plan that renews at the new-customer price.
    • Solar panels, a home battery, or an electric vehicle can make plans built for them worth a look.

  2. 2

    Request a move-in and start date

    Enroll online or by phone with the provider you chose. Pick move-in (new service), not a switch, and set the start date for the day your responsibility for the home begins.

    Have these ready

    • The complete service address in ZIP 75208, including the apartment or unit number
    • The account holder's legal name, email, phone number, and requested start date
    • Any identity or credit information the company asks for
    • A payment method, if a deposit, connection charge, or prepaid balance is due

    Timing: request service once your move-in date is firm. A few business days leaves time for address, deposit, or meter questions. Same-day service is sometimes possible at an existing meter; ask about the cutoff and any fee.

  3. 3

    Save the confirmation

    Your provider sends the start request to Oncor. Check the address and start date in your confirmation. Schedule the stop at your old home separately; opening the new account does not close the old one.
