Priority move-ins can be requested here at Reliant SimpleSource. 

Note: Meter installations and move-out requests are not eligible for prioritization.

A temporary meter is set when a house/building is being constructed and is usually in the construction company’s name. It is removed once a permanent meter has been installed. 

A permanent meter is set once the house/building is complete or close to completion and will remain a permanent fixture on the structure.

When the stop service request is issued for a temporary meter, the request will automatically be sent to the TDSP to remove the meter.

For requests received before 2 p.m., the start service request can be the same business day with a provisioned smart meter. All others can be dated up to three business days in the future unless a customer requests a later date.

For requests received at 2 p.m. or after, the start service request can be the next business day with a provisioned smart meter. All others can be dated up to four business days in the future unless a customer requests a later date.

For requests received before 2 p.m., the stop request will be dated three business days in the future (unless the customer requests a later date).
