Don't waste your time on Texas ⚡️ electricity meter connections!

Correct, we charge nothing for our service in de-regulated areas covering 90% of the Texas population. This is possible because Electricity Retailers cover our costs of providing you with the best concierge service on the market.

Any connections you request in regulated areas (approximately 10% of Texas) attract a $125 /home fee as there are no Retailer subsidies available, and the level of process complexity is even higher.

You are of course responsible for any meter installation charges and electricity usage fees etc., but our connection request, tracking, management & support service is completely free to use in de-regulated areas.

Builders often ask how it's possible that our service can be provided at no cost in de-regulated areas, including our technology and expert Texas-based support team.

The simple answer is that energy retailers cover our costs in de-regulated areas, so that we can provide an outstanding customer experience on their behalf.

This saves the Retailer a large amount of time and money in developing and maintaining their own technlogy systems and support staff. And because new electricity connections are our entire business, we're 100% committed to making the whole process as easy as possible for builders like you.

This includes automating account transfer to the Home Owner as the closing date approaches if you wish. We find most builders appreciate this free "concierge" service as it's one less thing to worry about, plus ensures you're not paying the power bills any longer than you have to.

Each meter moves along this series of color-coded status tags:

...before you either close the Temp account (with optional Swingover to Perm):

...or transfer the Perm account to your Home Owner clients:

We keep you updated at each step via email, so you're always in the loop. But the easiest way to track every meter at a glance is via your dashboard connections list:

Absolutely! It's super easy to import all your existing meters into UtilityOn so you can track and manage everything in the one place.

All your imported meters will benefit from access to our free expert support team too.

Just signup to UtilityOn then let us know you'd like to import your meters and we'll take it from there :-)

Based on real-world data from builders, you should save around 3 hours 15 minutes per de-regulated site, and over 6 hours for every site in regulated areas (with their increased complexity).

This is the total sum of all the time your team currently spends requesting, tracking, and managing the temporary and permanent meters for each site. There are multiple phone calls chasing progress updates, waiting on hold, multiple emails and attachments, permit wrangling, and resolving various other delays. Plus arranging and confirming account transfer to the home owner before closing day.

If the person doing this work earns an annual salary around $52,000, that means you're currently paying $112.67 in labor costs for every single de-regulated site just to arrange the electricity connection... and $225.33 per regulated site.

But UtilityOn will handle all this for you, for FREE in de-regulated areas.

And so on... Plus your builds start quicker, and your staff are happier and less stressed because they can focus on more important work instead of waiting on hold with the Utility.

Yes, we won "Best Business Solution" at the 2023 TAB Star Awards presented at the Sunbelt Builder's Show in Forth Worth, July 2023.

UtilityOn currently streamlines both temporary and permanent electricity meter connections (plus tracking, management and support services).

Yes - when requesting a new meter connection, simply register a new company instead of choosing from your existing list.

When registering a new company, you'll need to provide tax and billing details, agree to an MSA (Multi-Site Agreement) and complete a quick credit check.

This only takes a few minutes, then you're good to go -- thanks to the MSA, you only have to do this once per company.

All your connections across all your companies will appear in your dashboard for quick reference and easy management.
