We offer a variety of ways for you to satisfy your deposit to start service — without making a payment — depending on your circumstances. Learn more about our deposit options or view the deposit requirements for your account. If you still need assistance, please chat or call us at 1-866-222-7100.

Many term plans charge an early cancellation fee if the contract is terminated prior to the expiration date. An early cancellation fee may be avoided if you are moving and provide prior notice of the move, including a forwarding address and, if applicable, other evidence supporting the move. Before canceling or terminating services, check your contract terms here. If you still need assistance, please chat or call us at 1-866-222-7100.

If you're starting service at a new location, you can sign up before 5 p.m. for same-day power and after 5 p.m. for next-day service. However, there are a few factors that could delay service. For example, if your meter is physically inaccessible or a permit is required, we cannot guarantee the transfer date you select. Please keep in mind that you may need to satisfy certain requirements, such as paying a deposit or providing valid ID, and delays in satisfying these requirements can delay your start date.

In most cases, you don’t need to be home at the time of connectivity. If you do, Reliant will let you know ahead of time.

After you enroll, you'll be able to view the status of your service request on your online account dashboard. Don’t have a Reliant online account? You can create one in just a minute or two. If you still need assistance, please chat or call us at 1-866-222-7100.

Same-day service is offered Monday through Saturday, weather permitting, where an existing meter is in place. No connections on holidays. Enrollment and permit requirements must be met before a request can be processed. Additional charges apply.
